Abstract

Abstract We describe how in todays federated identity management (FIM) systems, such as CardSpace and Shibboleth, service providers (SPs) rely on identity providers (IdPs) to authenticate the users and provide their identity attributes. The SPs then use these attributes for granting or denying users access to their resources. Unfortunately most FIM systems have one significant limitation, which is that the user can only use one IdP within a single SP session, when in many scenarios the user needs to provide attributes from multiple IdPs. We describe how this can be achieved through the introduction of a new service called a linking service. The conceptual model of the linking service is described as well as the mapping of its messages onto todays standard protocols (SAML, Liberty Alliance and WS-*).
