Note that the SDSS Federation no longer accepts new applications to join. Applications should instead be made to join the UK Federation. The information on this page is of historical interest only.
Before applying to join the SDSS Federation, you need to:
- Install the Shibboleth SP software as described in the deployment guide at https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/SHIB/InstallingShibboleth.
- Obtain an X.509 certificate, as described at GetCertificate. The same certificate may be used for both an Identity Provider and a Service Provider.
Once you have installed the software and obtained a certificate, please send us your application to join the SDSS Federation in the form described at JoinFedSP.
