  1. Some data about the CBIC Federation

  2. Some basic facts • Run by the National Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) • With the support of RedIRIS • Offered to centers belonging to CSIC • Based on PAPI • The Shibboleth protocol is used at several points • In operation since July 2002 • 176 IdPs • 109 SPs • 65085 logins in 2006

  3. Some Basic Facts

  4. The Service Providers • Fully federated ones • Access to CSIC library resources • Library portal and meta-searcher (Metalib) • Basic user administration and statistics • Grid infrastructure helpdesk • Based on federation-aware proxies • Content providers • DOI resolver for the proxied providers • Conversations with providers to go Shib-enabled

  5. The Identity Providers • Central LDAP-based WAYF service • May be directly integrated with the login process • Based on the PAPI protocol • Common Shibboleth gateway • Identity is established through e-mail access credentials: POP(S), IMAP(S) • It is recommended to use a LDAP-based attribute repository • Though other (simpler?) methods are supported

  6. Assertions and Schemas • IdPs have to be able to provide data on • Affiliation • Center • Currently using irisPerson20050202 • SCHAC attributes planned for 3rd quarter this year • Policies are explicitly the same that those applied by CSIC to enable access to other networking services • Procedures explicitly mandated and audited by the CSIC Central Computing Service

  7. Management Aspects • No specific agreement required to participate • IdPs are part of the CSIC network • Outer SPs have signed agreements with the CSIC library services • Steering Committee in charge of supervising operations and planning future developments • Operations are responsibility of the CSIC Library Unit • Developments are coordinated by the PAPI team at RedIRIS • Users must explicitly require the service and authorize the exchange of their data
