- (use case 1)
1.) Carnegie Mellon
We are working towards using incommon, openid and other future social authentication
systems to provide access for what we are terming "Low Level Of Assurance" access.
Our first application to use this is for parental accounts. We would like to enable
access to student billing information to parent whos children have enabled permission.
We are working on a model which we will send an email invitation for parents to register with
using one of a number of openid providers or incommon federation identity providers. We
are using this model as we believe students are more likely to know their parents email
address than know their parents openid.
The implementation will be done with gateway service which will provide a CMU created
identities within local CMU shibboleth federation which are the translation of the
openid or other provider's identity. InCommon federation identities will be used directly.
