The SIFULAN Malaysian Access Federation (SIFULAN) technical team was warmly welcomed by NUOL/LERNET team to setup Identity Federation core services, Shibboleth IdPaaS, eduroam IdPaaS, and eduVPN infrastructure for research and education (R&E) communities in Lao PDR. This setup serves as a pilot project with the hope of supporting members of the R&E communities in Lao PDR to establish human networking among each other as well as infrastructure connectivity that seamlessly linked to the international R&E communities. At the end of the four-day effort, the planned tasks mentioned above were up and running. The local team is now in the due process of testing/evaluating the services and applying for the eduGAIN membership with minimal remote hand-holding by SIFULAN team. This activity was made possible through the support of the Asi@Connect Grant Contract ACA 2016/376-562.
