How can we help you?

eduGAIN is an interfederation service, connecting identity federations like SIFULAN Federation around the world and simplifies access to content, resources and services for global research and education community.

To become a SIFULAN Federation member, your organisation MUST comply with SIFULAN Federation policies. Prior a fully acceptance as a member, SIFULAN Federation technical team will look through at the implementation and compliance with the technical standard and policies. Once the technical team satisfied, your organisation will be fully accepted as a SIFULAN Federation member.

You can check your organisation membership status HERE.

You can check it by using the Attribute Release Checker tool.

When you access a Federated service, you may have to choose an Identity Provider/Home Organisation which can verify your identity. After that your web browser is redirected to your Identity Provider/Home Organisation’s login page and you need to perform authentication and if it is successful, you will be redirected back to the resource. Notice that, you are able to access other resources directly without having to login again once you have been successfully authenticated earlier, provided you do not close your browser in-between.

Please contact your Home Organisation helpdesk for login and password-related problems.
