Private area access

Once the institution has registered which users will access the security services, the following steps must be followed to access the private area (Wiki):

1. The user must connect to https://www.rediris.es/sir/usuarios/ and check their ePPN (eduPersonPrincipalName) [1], which does not always match their email.
2. Send this information to the service desk queue, along with your identifier.
3. You will receive a registration email once access permissions have been granted:

Example:

From: juan.perez@universidad.es 
To: xxxx@rediris.es
Subject: [IRIS-XXXX] Institution registration in Service ZZZZZ

Hello,

Here are the ePPNs of the users previously registered in the service:

user: Juan Perez Sanchez
email: juan.perezs@universidad.es
ePPN : jperez@universidad.es

user: Antonio Molina Gomez
email: amolinag@universidad.es

Thank you very much

[1] In eduGAIN, the ePPN (eduPersonPrincipalName) is an identity attribute that serves as a unique identifier for the user within the federation. The ePPN has a format very similar to an email:

user@institution

For example:

jperezs@universidad.es

What it is used for:

• Uniquely identifying a user in federated services (such as universities, libraries, academic cloud services, etc.)
• Enabling single sign-on (SSO) between institutions
• Avoiding ambiguities between users from different organizations

• It may change if you change institutions.
• It is issued by your identity provider (IdP), usually your university or research center
