Requesting Attributes - Federation Manager

Follow the steps below to request attributes from Federation Manager:

1. Login to Federation Manager as the Administrator of the Service (contact AAF Support if you need to assign an administrator to your service).

2. Follow the steps to authenticate to Federation Manager.

3. Once you have been successfully authenticated, click on “My services” on the Federation Manager dashboard.

   

4. Select “SAML” as the protocol from the dropdown list on the right-hand side of the dashboard. Then select your service from the “Services” list.

   

5. Select the SAML tab.

   

6. Then click on the “Requested Attributes” tab.

   

You are now on the Service Provider’s Attributes page, which includes required, optional and other attributes. From here you can add, modify and remove attributes that your service requires.

Please note that adding a new attribute will require approval at both the organisation and federation level. Please ensure that a reason is clearly provided which defines a purpose with respect to your service.

Once the approval has occurred the change will flow out into the metadata which is then consumed by eduGAIN Identity Providers. This process may take up to 48 hours to propagate across internet, multi-federations and their respective metadata files.
