Project
Background

Learn more
  • TF-IAM has had a significant contribution to the development and deployment of Federated Identity technologies throughout the Asi@Connect membership.
  • Since its initial activity being led by GÉANT via the BACKFIRE project, it has transitioned to a community activity led by the AAF via iFIRE.
  • Both programmes successfully brought several Asi@Connect country members to be part of the eduGAIN.
  • To ensure there is a continuous support for the efforts and activities, hence a project called iFIRE eXtension for Managed Application Network (iFIRExMAN) was proposed and approved by the Asi@Connect.
  • The duration of the project is from 7 March 2022 until 6 March 2023.
