InCommon Online Forum

The InCommon Online Forum provides an opportunity for policy and technical discussions with the InCommon Steering Committee, the InCommon Technical Advisory Committee and InCommon's collaboration groups.

January 19, 2012 - The Research & Scholarship Category of Service Providers

The Research & Scholarship category allows identity providers to release a minimal set of attributes to all service providers in this new category. Service providers eligible for the R&S category include those that support research and scholarly activities such as virtual organizations and campus-based collaboration services.

The R&S category will provide IdPs with a simpler and more scalable approach than negotiating attribute release bilaterally with each service provider. This can be done with a one-time modification to the IdP's default attribute release policy. The category will simplify and streamline user access at the SP while reducing administrative overhead at the IdP.
