Institutions: Test your Affiliation Attribute Release

InAcademia requires the IdP to release either eduPerson Scoped Affiliation or eduPerson Affiliation. Use this page to test if your institution’s identity provider releases the attributes that InAcademia uses to validate academic affiliation.

To start the test, please click on one of the links below. This will initiate a validation roundtrip. As part of the validation, you will be asked to select your home institution and then authenticate.

Depending on the role(s) applied to the user account, some of the affiliation validations may fail. For example, if user has the ‘student’ attribute value, then validation as ‘faculty’ is likely to fail unless the subject of the acount is also a member of the institution’s faculty.
