Description
Federated Identity Management is seen as a vital component for research infrastructures. Excellent technology exists as eduGAIN provides an Interfederation that makes the single national research federations interoperable, i.e. a researcher from country X can access a Service from country Y, via her own campus account. In practice there are a number of yet unfulfilled requirements of the research infrastructures. FIM4R, a group of research infrastructures that meet regularly since 2011, has converged on a common vision for FIM, enumerated a set of requirements and proposed a number of recommendations for ensuring a roadmap for the uptake of FIM is achieved. A second version of a paper documenting these is currently being worked on. The lightning talk wants to make other research infrastructures aware of this work and provoke new input from them.
