Feide is a identity management system on a
national level for the educational sector in Norway.
Federated Electronic Identity for Norwegian Education
Tromsø, the world’s nothernmost university city
A service provider that is implementing FEIDE• FEIDE is managed by UNINETT
A portal owned by the Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research
National common gateway for easy access to everything you need to know about education• Course description repository• Occupations description repository, NEW• Learning Content repository• Learning content publishing framework
A concept based on the principle that every user in the educational sector - pupil, student or employee - receives a user name from their school, college or university, which can be used throughout the sector (both commercial and public services)
FEIDE is partly founded by institutions (campuses and service providers) and partly founded directly by the Ministry
One username One password Do not need to register information
at each service, automatic updates from campus information
Informed consent for personal data transfer
Familiar log-in page may increase security
Access for all Feide users No local administration of user database Feide handles login and gives high quality
data about users One contract with Feide eliminates bi-lateral
contracts with all identity providers
Goal: all public schools in 2010 Today
• Universities: All operative• University college: 75 %
• Upper secondary school (high school): 50% 100% during summer 2009
• primary and lower secondary school Only started
Based on SAML 2.0• (Not shibboleth witch is SAML 1.0 based)
Single sign-on All log-on is run through feide.no as a
middleware service All user data is controlled and
maintained on campus institutions (LDAP)
Bibsys.no (Sentralized library service)
Fag.utdanning.no
The chicken and the egg • The institutions hesitated to implement FEIDE
because the lack of services• The Service providers hesitated to implement
because the lack of users We have to identity providers in Norway
1. FEIDE.no: Education identity provider2. minside.no (mypage.no): governmental services
(Tax, medical information, address of residence, unemployment benefits etc…. )
Most ID-providers (campus) is using FEIDE password / username but with a local login routine and not single-sign-on • It would be better if they where using the
“FEIDE single sign-on” service for local services as well (LMS/VLE, e-mail etc )
• Then the user would already be logged on at external services
User are commonly redirected to an external login-page. This is bad usability and many users are confused by this
Data quality • Few attributes are mandatory• No attribute for subject or discipline • User role not suited for the primary and
lower secondary school (student, employee, faculty, staff, alum, affiliate)
Authorization to content• The publishing industries want to have
control of the business model Personalization
• My subject, my curriculum, my content Web 2.0 Get people together
• Same school, same subject A closer connection to the VLE
Personal identification number FEIDE username

faculty) Name of the Organization the user are
connected to. (legal name, short name, common name)
Given name and surname of user (Username local institution) E-mail Legal organization number
