Welcome to the Swedish Academic Identity Federation, SWAMID. SWAMID is an infrastructure to make it easier for users at higher educational institutions and other member organisations to log in to various services. SWAMID supports different federated login techniques, currently SAML WebSSO and eduroam. This page focuses on web-based login via SAML WebSSO. Give users at your organisation the opportunity to log in to services registered in SWAMIDIn order to be able to connect an Identity Provider (IdP) to SWAMID, the organisation must meet the following two formal requirements:
Once the formal requirements are met, it is time to install and configure your Identity Provider. The organisation must first decide which software to use. SWAMID has instructions on the Wiki page SAML IdP Best Current Practice for Shibboleth Identity Provider and Microsoft ADFS. For other IdP software, you must specifically check that they comply with the SWAMID SAML WebSSO Technology Profile. The SAML IdP Best Current Practice also contains instructions, advice and recommendations on how to configure the selected Identity Provider. Register a service in SWAMIDTo be able to connect a service to SWAMID, the service must meet the following two formal requirements:
Once the formal requirements are met, it is time to install and configure the software to connect the service to the federation. This is done through a Service Provider (SP) and it must comply with the SWAMID SAML WebSSO Technology Profile. Please note that SWAMID is an identity federation where each member organisation publishes its own Identity Provider (IdP) in the federation so the SP software used must support automatic management of multiple Identity Providers and that metadata from the federation must be updated at least once a day . If your Service Provider is unable to handle multiple Identity Providers, it is possible to use a SAML proxy to assist the Service Provider. SWAMID has instructions, advice and recommendations for Service Proivders on the wiki page SAML SP Best Current Practice. Further reading... |
