Welcome

Welcome to the Edugate Federated Access Management (FAM) federation.

What is FAM?

A federation is a group of institutions and organisations that sign up to an agreed set of policies for exchanging information about users and resources to enable access and use of resources and services. The federation combined with identity management software within institutions and organisations can be referred to as Federated Access Management (FAM).

Google Apps workshop concludes

Yesterday's Google Apps workshop focused on how an Edugate IdP can be used to enable Single-Sign-On to Google Apps. Given that Google Apps services (such as Gmail) are often used to the extent that they become a critical service, a significant portion of the workshop was allocated to the topic of adding High-Availability (HA) to the IdP service.

We expect to run this workshop again and extend an invitation to all HEAnet client's (yesterdays workshop was limited to Edugate pilot participants).
