This article lists the steps necessary to implement a GFIPM Identity Provider (IDP). A GFIPM IDP collects information (typically from an existing identity store) about a local user and generates corresponding user metadata when a user attempts to connect to a local or remote GFIPM Service Provider.

  1. Develop a GFIPM Information Sharing Plan for an IDP
  2. Submit a Request for Federation Membership
  3. Choose an IDP Product
  4. Implement a GFIPM IDP
  5. Write an IDP Test Plan
  6. Deploy an IDP in a Test Environment
  7. Execute an IDP Test Plan
  8. Deploy an IDP in an Operational Federation
