ProjectbwIDM2

Further development of the state-funded identity management of Baden-Württemberg's universities

The state's colleges and universities provide a wide range of distributed services and resources. These are made available to college and university members through access mechanisms developed in the bwIDM project. This federal identity management serves as a model for other federal states in Germany. The range of state services currently offered spans areas from HPC to data and resource management and online courses. The services have successively defined requirements for the central software platform, which has been expanded by many functionalities since the end of the preceding project. 

The bwIDM2 project is dedicated to meeting the increased demands on IT security and takes current technical developments into account. It creates the requirements for the cross-university integration of services and establishes a group/role administration for supra-regional and national communities along with delegation mechanisms. In addition, technical concepts for the integration of a long-term personal identifier in bwIDM, which is required for use in research data management, are being developed.
