  1. FEIDE Federated Electronic Identity for Norwegian Education Feide is a identity management system on a national level for the educational sector in Norway. Tromsø, theworld’snothernmost university city

  2. Utdanning.no • A service provider that is implementing FEIDE • FEIDE is managed by UNINETT • A portal owned by the Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research • National common gateway for easy access to everything you need to know about education • Course description repository • Occupations description repository, NEW • Learning Content repository • Learning content publishing framework

  3. FEIDE • A concept based on the principle that every user in the educational sector - pupil, student or employee - receives a user name from their school, college or university, which can be used throughout the sector (both commercial and public services) • FEIDE is partly founded by institutions (campuses and service providers) and partly founded directly by the Ministry

  4. User benefits • One username • One password • Do not need to register information at each service, automatic updates from campus information • Informed consent for personal data transfer • Familiar log-in page may increase security

  5. Benefits for Utdanning.no as service provider: • Access for all Feide users • No local administration of user database • Feide handles login and gives high quality data about users • One contract with Feide eliminates bi-lateral contracts with all identity providers

  6. FEIDE: Status • Goal: all public schools in 2010 • Today • Universities: All operative • University college: 75 % • Upper secondary school (high school): 50% • 100% during summer 2009 • primary and lower secondary school • Only started

  7. FEIDE: Technology • Based on SAML 2.0 • (Not shibboleth witch is SAML 1.0 based) • Single sign-on • All log-on is run through feide.no as a middleware service • All user data is controlled and maintained on campus institutions (LDAP)

  8. Demo • Bibsys.no (Sentralizedlibrary service) • Fag.utdanning.no

  9. Issues • The chicken and the egg • The institutions hesitated to implement FEIDE because the lack of services • The Service providers hesitated to implement becausethe lack of users • We have to identity providers in Norway • FEIDE.no: Education identity provider • minside.no (mypage.no): governmental services (Tax, medical information, address of residence, unemployment benefits etc…. )

  10. Issues • Most ID-providers (campus) is using FEIDE password / username but with a local login routine and not single-sign-on • It would be better if they where using the “FEIDE single sign-on” service for local services as well (LMS/VLE, e-mail etc ) • Then the user would already be logged on at external services

  11. Issues • User are commonly redirected to an external login-page. This is bad usability and many users are confused by this • Data quality • Few attributes are mandatory • No attribute for subject or discipline • User role not suited for the primary and lower secondary school • (student, employee, faculty, staff, alum, affiliate)

  12. Usecase for utdanning.no • Authorization to content • The publishing industries want to have control of the business model • Personalization • My subject, my curriculum, my content • Web 2.0 Get people together • Same school, same subject • A closer connection to the VLE

  13. FEIDE: Mandatory attributes • Personal identification number • FEIDE username (<username>@<organization>) • User role (employee, student, member, faculty) • Name of the Organization the user are connected to. (legal name, short name, common name) • Given name and surname of user • (Username local institution) • E-mail • Legal organization number
