EOSC-Life Access and user management system for life science – the blueprint

This deliverable is the blueprint of the Life Science AAI, a common authentication and authorisation service for the European life science research infrastructures. The Life Science AAI provides a way to coordinate the way how user identity and access is managed in research services and data in the (community-specific) federated Infrastructure. The service will be managed by the life sciences community and operated by the e-infrastructures, such as GEANT, EGI and EUDAT. The requirements of the Life Science AAI were initially developed by CORBEL WP5 and piloted with e-infrastructures in the AARC2 project. This deliverable lays the ground for the production deployment with e-infrastructures during the EOSC-Life project.

This deliverable and its appendices first introduces the technical and non-technical requirements for the e-infrastructure service offering and further clarifies how that relates to and integrates to the AAI service components operated by the life sciences research infrastructures. Relevant external work is then introduced. Finally, the deliverable provides an overview of Life Science AAI’s potential relying services from EOSC-Life project and beyond.
