Welcome to the OpenConext-engineblock wiki!

OpenConext Engine is a multi-purpose software component. At a high level, the Engine:

• Provides a Proxy and manages Single Sign On authentication requests and responses
• Offers OpenSocial data based on the SSO user data and Grouper information

OpenConext-engine has the following features:

1. Authentication Proxy (https://engine.demo.openconext.org):

• Act as a saml2int compliant SAML2 proxy to allow users of Service Providers to authenticate at Identity Providers;
• Publish metadata on proxy IdP and SP (SAML Entity descriptor);
• Publish metadata on connected IdPs (Entities descriptor), for Transparent IdP Proxy;
• Publish Proxy IdP and SP public certificate;
• Publish metadata on connected IdPs 'Shibboleth style', on a per SP basis;
• Publish metadata on connected IdPs for use with WAYFless URLs and custom WAYFs, on a per SP basis;
• Provide a debug interface for connecting new IdPs;
• Enforce Attribute Release Policy (ARP) as configured via Serviceregistry;
• Enforce Access Controle List (ACL) as configured via Serviceregistry;
• Provide the Virtual Identity Provider feature

1. A "Where Are You From" (WAYF) service

2. A Consent interface for release of end-user (SAML2) attributes

3. An end-user interface (https://profile.demo.openconext.org)
