Test Federation

Create a new Service Provider

To create a Service Provider you need the following:

  • Contact details for the Service Provider to advertise to the federation.
  • Common details such as the Organisation owning the service provider, a display name and description to advertise and explain the service to end users, the URL to access the service and optionally a service logo
  • The technology stack being used. If you are using Shibboleth you will only need the hostname. If using another implementation you will need to collect the URLS for all SAML 2 endpoints it supports
  • The Public Key your Service Provider will use to sign and encrypt assertions in the federation. This must have a CN that is equal to your Service Providers hostname and be self signed
  • A list of the attributes your Service Provider requires to operate. These are defined as 'required' and 'optional'. The fewer required attributes your service has the more Identity Providers you will be compatible with. Additionally a reason for requesting each attribute must be provided which will be presented to users to help them understand how the service will utilize their private data

With the above details ready we estimate this process will take around 20 minutes to complete.

1. Primary Contact

Please enter the details you wish to advertise to the federation as the primary contact for this service provider.

2. Service Provider Description

Please select the organisation this service provider belongs to and provide descriptive information below. This will be used in several locations throughout the federation.

3. SAML Configuration

The following information will be used by identity providers and end users alike to connect to your service provider.

Easy registration using defaults

For administrators of commonly used service provider software we've created an easy registration route. Simply select the software type and provide the URL of your service. e.g: https://sp.example.edu.au.

    Shibboleth Service Provider (1.x)  Not available, please contact support.

4. Public Key Certificate

The public key certificate details you provide below will be used for message signing and encryption between your service provider and identity providers in the federation. You should provide your public key certificate in PEM format to allow us to ensure the certificate is valid.

5. Requested Attributes

Please nominate the attributes this service requires to operate and mark them required if they form an absolute pre-requisite for your service to operate correctly. For each attribute you request a valid reason must be provided which will be reviewed by federation administrators before final approval.

Required attributes are those without which a service cannot function. Keep this list as small as possible for maximum compatibility with identity providers.
