Joining the SDSS Federation

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.

To apply to join the SDSS federation, follow one of the two procedures below, depending on whether you are applying to join as an Identity Provider (IdP) or Service Provider (SP). You may do both, in which case it may be easiest to start as an Identity Provider and test that against existing Service Providers before configuring your own Service Provider.

If you have not already done so, you are strongly advised to review the documentation available on the Internet2 Shibboleth Wiki site, at https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/SHIB/WebHome.
