SAML Identity Provider Services

Standby SAML Identity Provider

This service will process SAML authentication requests on Asiera infrastructure when Asiera detects that the primary SAML Identity Provider service is unavailable on campus.

The service includes Active Directory replication via VPN tunnel; the Identity Provider is based on Shibboleth or Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services.

Hosting SAML Identity Provider

With this service, Asiera hosts a Shibboleth Identity Provider service on its infrastructure to authenticate users over a VPN tunnel to the campus Active Directory.

The service includes institutional branding, directory schema mapping, monitoring, maintenance, and allows for a hostname within the institutions’ DNS domain.

Managed SAML Identity Provider

Asiera’s Managed SAML Identity Provider service provides remote monitoring and management of an institution’s Shibboleth Identity Provider. This management extends to multiple instances whether on-campus or hosted by Asiera.

The service is designed to allow an institution to rely on Asiera’s expertise for troubleshooting Shibboleth Identity Provider issues or planning for campus directory changes or co-ordination with new SAML service providers who are not Edugate compliant.
