Description about the presentation
This training will help new services to integrate with Check-in, the EGI Authentication & Authorisation Infrastructure enabling secure access to relying parties. The target group of the training are developers and administrators of services that want to connect to Check-in for user authentication and authorisation.
The training will showcase the use of the EGI Check-In Federation Registry tool for managing the lifecycle of a relying party, i.e. registration, reconfiguration and de-registration. The training will include hands-on sessions for the participants to integrate their own relying party to Check-In.
