Description
This talk reports on the work GÉANT and the NRENs undertook to scale out the MyAcademicID Service, one of the most used service in eduGAIN, the challenges faced in rolling-out a new attribute (ESI) to identify students at the European scale, the Erasmus+ IdP of last resort launched in just a few months to ensure that all students can take advantage of the digitized processes and the publication of the ESI Entity Category.
MyAcademicID Service enables students to use their federated accounts to authenticate themselves to the Erasmus+ services. MyAcademicID also enables students to use their national eIDs, through eIDAS, and link them with their academic accounts. In the first year of operation, ~100K students from ~2000 HEIs from 32 countries, used MyAcademicID.
