Entree Federation enables Dutch educational users to access a large number of educational services using a single login (als known as Single Sign On or SSO). The federation consists of parties providing educational services or content (Service Providers), administrators of identities (Identity Providers) and the Kennisnet application (Entree Federation).
An Identity Provider is an application that carries out the communication with Entree Federation on behalf of the school. Some examples of Identity Provider applications are:
- Virtual learning environment or VLE (a web-based platform, often used by multiple educational institutions)
- Active Directory Federation Service (ADFS)
- Google Apps for Education
- Azure AD
The Entree Federation application serves as a federative intermediary (or hub) in the authenticationprocess.
Federative Single Sign On has the following advantages:
- User friendliness: getting access to multiple educational web applications with a single username/password combination
