Add Identity Provider
Required Steps
For your identity provider (IdP) to appear in the list at https://cilogon.org, please register your IdP with InCommon or another eduGAIN member federation. Alternatively, please contact us about an Essential Service or Full Service subscription to register your IdP directly with CILogon. (Note that CILogon also supports Google, GitHub, ORCID, and Microsoft identity providers for users from organizations without a registered IdP.)
For your IdP's users to successfully authenticate to CILogon, please release a subject-id and/or eduPersonPrincipalName attribute to CILogon that uniquely identifies the authenticated user.
Please test authentication to CILogon using your IdP at https://test.cilogon.org/testidp/.
Recommended Steps
For improved access and ease-of-use for your IdP's users, please also complete the following recommended steps:
Please configure your IdP to support the personalized entity category and/or the research and scholarship entity category to provide basic user attributes to CILogon. Some CILogon integrations require IdPs to include the http://refeds.org/category/research-and-scholarship tag in metadata. See: InCommon R&S Documentation
Please ensure that your IdP conforms to the Security Incident Response Trust Framework for Federated Identity (Sirtfi). Some CILogon integrations require IdPs to include the https://refeds.org/sirtfi tag in metadata. See: InCommon Sirtfi Documentation
Please configure your IdP to support the REFEDS Multi-Factor Authentication profile. Some CILogon integrations require IdPs to include an AuthnContextClassRef containing https://refeds.org/profile/mfa to indicate that the user performed multi-factor authentication.
Additional Details
CILogon's entityID is "https://cilogon.org/shibboleth". Please obtain CILogon's SAML metadata from your federation. InCommon members should use InCommon metadata. For reference, the CILogon metadata can be manually downloaded from InCommon at: https://mdq.incommon.org/entities/https%3A%2F%2Fcilogon.org%2FshibbolethÂ
