Identity Provider (IdP)

IdP or the so-called Home Institution is the source of user's creditial. This is basically the home organization at which the user can authenticate him/her-self and manages his/her attributes.

Typically, IdP:

  • Allow SSO, within the institution and federation.
  • Maintain user attributes while protecting privacy.
  • Know the SPs in the federation, so they only send user attributes to trusted SPs; and can format these attributes in a way the SP expects.
  • Allow system administrators and individual users to control the attribute release
