The InCommon Federation provides a trust relationship for authentication between members of the federation. |
There are two services categories that Lehigh currently uses within InCommon - SSO and Eduroam:
- SSO: InCommon's Participants (member institutions) operate Identity Providers (IdPs) and Service Providers (SPs). IdPs are network-accessible services that authenticate users and provide identity information to services (SPs as ) so people connect can login to them. Lehigh's IdP is located at https://sso.cc.lehigh.edu. SPs are network-accessible services that rely on information from the IdPs for the purpose of making access decisions and/or personalizing the user’s experience. There There are over 4000 SPs within the InCommon Federation. Some examples of popular SPs at Lehigh are Course Site (our moodle based Learning Management System), G Suite, the qualtrics survey tool, and zoomZoom (web conferencing). IdP's share information with SP's when logging into the SP as a set of encrypted attributes that are exchanged. Here is Information about the SAML attributes that Lehigh uses. There is a metadata explorer tool provided by REFEDS (the Research and Education FEDerations group)which you can use to quickly search for attributes and contact info of federated service providers.
- Eduroam: InCommon has established a relationship with Eduroameduroam, a global wireless network access service for research and education. An eligible organization (research organization or education-related organization) can provide users (students, researchers, staff and faculty) with wireless access at participating institutions through the use of using their home institution credentials. See https://lts.lehigh.edu/services/eduroam-wireless-access for instructions on using 's credentials. See these eduroam instructions to use eduroam with your Lehigh account.
