- Abstract
It is common practice today to use IP access control. This seems to be an easy-to-use method, but in fact there are a lot of questionable issues connected to it. A Shibboleth-based authentication and authorization infrastructure (AAI) offers a solution for these issues. For this reason the AAR project was begun in 2005 with the goal of building a Shibboleth infrastructure for both German higher education and research and for the Internet portal for scientific and scholarly information called vascoda. Within just two years, the project attracted a very high level of interest. This article describes how we built the Shibboleth infrastructure and it will show the current status of the DFNAAI federation for German higher education and research.
