During this process, you will accomplish the following:

  1. Discover and develop a list of federation resources to which you want your users to have access. (more detail)
  2. Identity your local users and collect all sources of information about them. (more detail)
  3. Design the metadata to describe your users. (more detail)
  4. Fill out a Local Attribute Mapping Form to map local attributes about your users into GFIPM metadata attributes. (more detail)

If your organization has multiple attribute stores and/or authentication systems, you may need to consider implementing multiple IDPs at your site. Alternatively, you may wish to consider using a virtual LDAP product to consolidate your multiple sources of user data into one source. This situation may be especially applicable if the information in the attribute stores cannot be merged or different sets of users must stay with separate authentication or authorization systems. In the case of multiple IDPs at your site, the steps in this section should be performed for each IDP.
