Info
titleThis page explains how to register a Service Provider on the GEANT AAI Service

You can request to connect a service to the GEANT AAI Service using the following form:
https://webapp.aai.geant.org/sp_request

Note that service requests are reviewed for correctness and eligibility by the GEANT staff.

The metadata for the SAML2 Identity Provider can be found here:
https://proxy.aai.geant.org/metadata/frontend.xml

The discovery endpoint for the OIDC Provider can be found here:
https://proxy.aai.geant.org/.well-known/openid-configuration


Note

The registration of services goes through two phases, as described below.

Phase 1 - Connection to the test environment.

Initially, services are connected to the test environment. The test environment is exactly the same as the production environment. The purpose of this step is to allow service owners to ensure that the connection with the GEANT AAI Service is working correctly, user information is processed as needed and all configurations are in place.

During this phase access to the service is restricted to users that have opted in to the Sandbox group. The first time that a user tries to access a service that is connected to the test environment the user will be presented with message denying access to the service, unless the user opts-in to join the Sandbox group. By clicking the registration link for the Sandbox group, the user will be redirected to register on the Sandbox group. From then on, users will see a warning about the status of the service on the Consent Page.

Phase 2 - Promotion to production.

Once the service owner is certain that the connection of the service with the GEANT AAI Service is working as expected, the service owner can request to promote the service to production.

6 - 2 - A. Registering an OIDC Service Provider

SAML or OIDCChoose OIDC for registering an OIDC Service Provider
GrantsYou can select multiple grants. For more information on "Authorization Code Flow", "Refresh Token" and "Implicit Flow" read the OpenID Connect Core 1.0 document. For more information on "Token Exchange" read the RFC8693 — OAuth 2.0 Token Exchange document. The Implicit Flow is discouraged due to security concerns. Instead, consider the Authorization Code Flow with PKCE. For more information read the OAuth 2.0 Security Best Current Practice document, especially section "2.1.2. Implicit Grant"
Public client

A "public" client is incapable of maintaining the confidentiality of their credentials. For more information read the RFC6749 — The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework document, especially section 2.1. Client Types on the differences between "confidential" and "public" clients.

It is recommended to require PKCE when the client is public.

This option has no effect on the Implicit Flow.

PKCE

PKCE stands for "Proof Key for Code Exchange". For more information read the RFC7636 — Proof Key for Code Exchange by OAuth Public Clients document.

Using PKCE is recommended for all grants based on the Authorization Code Flow. For more information read the OAuth 2.0 Security Best Current Practice document, especially section "2.1.1. Authorization Code Grant".

This option has no effect on the Implicit Flow.

OIDC Redirect URLsEnter one or more OIDC redirect URLs for your service. Note, wildcards are not supported. URLs like https://www.example.com/* are considered invalid
