The Culture Community Authentication and Authorisation Infrastructure (CCAAI) is currently under development. Once completed, it will provide unified identity and infrastructure management (IAM) for members of the NFDI4Culture communities. The aim is to create a secure and user-friendly authentication and authorisation infrastructure that meets the needs of the NFDI4Culture communities and enables seamless access to a wide range of services and resources.
The development of the Culture Community AAI is a collaborative effort between the NFDI4Culture consortium and DAASI International involving the implementation of the didmos IAM software suite and its customisation to meet community requirements.
At the same time, the Culture Community AAI is the first implementation of an NFDI Basic Service, IAM4NFDI, by an NFDI consortium. It serves as a field test for IAM4NFDI policies and IAM in a heterogeneous consortium and particularly its small and medium-sized actors. As such, the Culture Community AAI will provide valuable insights and experience for the development of similar implementations by other consortia.
