Federated login to Erasmus+ resources
Erasmus+ services provided to students from Irish institutions participating in the erasmus+ programme require a federated login, this saves students from needing a erasmus+ username and password. Institutions participating in Edugate should release the following attributes to the Erasmus services listed below
Attributes
These attributes are supported by all existing Edugate members, they must be released to the erasmus+ services
-
eduPersonPrincipalName
-
email
-
sn
-
givenName
-
eduPersonScopedAffiliation
These attributes are not supported by Edugate and will need to be configured at the Identity Provider, and must also be released;
- schacHomeOrganization , the value of which is typically the domain name of the institution and must match the domain suffix asserted on eduPersonPrincipalName e.g. ucc.ie (this value will also match the SAML scope of your IdP Metadata)
- schacPersonalUniqueCode the value of which follows the convention urn:schac:personalUniqueCode:int:esi:example.edu:xxxxxxxxxx where example.edu is the institutions primary domain name and xxxxxxxxxx is the identifier the home institution uses to uniquely identify the student on campus, typically the student number
Erasmus Services
- As of August 2021 there is one erasmus+ service; MyAcademicID IAM Service https://proxy.prod.erasmus.eduteams.org/metadata/backend.xml (a member of the Dutch SurfConext federation). This service can be tested at https://myacademicid.devtest.eduteams.org/sp/ . Queries about this service will be answered by email by contacting support+geant_erasmus@eduteams.org.
HEAnet can assist institutions with the release of attributes to this and other services as usual by contacting our service desk at noc@heanet.ie
