Authentication and Data Governance Information

...

The cloud service provider you are working with will need to work with the IAM team to integrate their application with our UH Login Service. UH uses the Shibboleth IdP to provide this service.

  • If you are utilizing a 3rd-party service provider, the release of attributes to this 3rd party requires UH Data Governance Process approval. See below for more information.

  • A Data Governance Process approval is not required if the Service Provider is a member of Internet2 or the InCommon Federation. The services offered by these Providers providers are already covered by UH contracts and agreements.

  • This should minimally include the source of SAML metadata for the SP[*]; required/requested attributes; and any other requirements, such as a specific SAML NameID format

  • If the SP If the 3rd party service provider is a member of the the InCommon Federation, metadata should be available through their aggregate metadatathe UH Login Service may already interoperate with the 3rd party service provider.

UH credentials and the UH Login service are used for UH applications as well as for select 3rd-party, cloud-based applications. To request integration to a new 3rd-party, there are two components to the request:

  1. a Data Governance approval request from the UH Data Governance office, and

  2. a 3rd-party integration request from the ITS Identity and Access Management team.

Data Governance Request

The UH Data Governance component is required because the integration effectively shares restricted “restricted” UH data with a 3rd party. Compliance to UH Data Governance policy is a prerequisite to any technical solution. More information on UH Data Governance policies is available:

UH Identity Provider Service Values for Service Providers

Service Providers require the following information so that their SP is able to interface successfully with the UH IdPIdentity Provider service.

Attribute Release Practices

  • Vet each attribute release request with the UH Data Governance Committee.

  • Document and post each attribute release policy (below).

  • Release only the minimally required information.

  • Release targeted unique identifiers to 3rd party SPs service providers to prevent them from pooling information to learn more about a person's purchasing habits (protects privacy).

Service Provider Test Environments Recommended

It is recommended that a test environment for the SP service provider be available to test candidate configurations in our IdP UH identity provider test environment to ensure everything meets expectations before deployment to our production IdP environment. If unable to test candidate configurations in our IdP test environment first, we are capable of deploying candidates directly to our production environment, but change management procedures constrain this and limits how quickly we can test and deploy any necessary changes.

It is also highly recommended that an SP a service provider test environment be generally available beyond the initial service deployment. When the Shibboleth IdP is upgraded as necessary, An SP test environment will provide a means to test against any new IdP integration changes before the new versions are deployed to our production IdP Identity Provider environment.

Released Attributes

The attributes are released as specified by the attribute release policy set up for each SP. Below is a subset of the available attributes. UH generally uses the eduPerson schema.
