What is Rapid IdP?
Rapid Identity Provider (Rapid IdP) is the AAF's hosted cloud solution, providing a fast and easy way to connect to the AAF. Rapid IdP suits organisations of all sizes and connects your users to national and international services. We take care of hosting, set up, security patching, feature updates and management of your organisation’s connection to hundreds of education and research services.
How does it work?
We deploy and manage the infrastructure needed to connect your organisation to services in the federation on your behalf. The solution takes advantage of cloud services to deliver a secure, resilient and highly available service. If you already run identity provider software, we’ll do most of the work (with some assistance from your team) to migrate your existing configuration to the Rapid IdP platform.
