JISC Access and Identity Management: Future Directions
- 1. Access Management Transition Programme Meeting Access Management Futures: JISC and International Development Strategy Nicole Harris Senior Services Transition Manager, JISC
- 3. Some Background 1995: Athens developed by NISS (National Information Services and Systems) at University of Bath as an in-house system. 1996: eLib Study ‘Technologies to Support Authentication in Higher Education’ identified Athens as a potential solution for all JISC Services. 1997: Athens in use in all JISC Data Centres and rolled out across HEIs / FEIs over the next two years. 1998: CNI White Paper on AAA requirements. JISC commits to using as a basis for next-generation technologies. 1997 – 2000: three year contract for Athens provision with University of Bath and then Eduserv. 2000 – 2008: two three year plus one two year contract with Eduserv for Athens provision. 2000: Alan Robiette and JCAS scope requirements for next generation access management system (ANGEL project starts testing Shibboleth and PAPI technologies). 2002 – 2004: AAA Programme – audit of next generation technologies and ratification of requirements. 2004 – 2007: Core Middleware Programmes. JISC decision to support federated access management. 2006 – 2009: Access Management: Transition Programme. Roll-out and embedding.
- 4. The Requirements A single access management system for: Intra-institutional resources. Third party digital library type resources. Inter-institutional resources for secure long-term collaboration. Inter-institutional resources for ad-hoc (virtual organisation) collaboration. Evolving strategy: Where possible, JISC should focus on fostering development and use of standards rather than specific technologies. Institutions should have the widest possible range of options, from full open source to commercial support. Solutions should be in line with international developments in the field. Solution must provide real benefits to institutions and service providers.
