Identity linking allows you to access EGI resources with your existing personal EGI ID, using any of the login credentials you have linked to your account. You can use any of your organisational or social login credentials for this purpose. To link a new organisational or social identity to your EGI account:
Enter the following URL in a browser: https://aai.egi.eu/registry
Click Login and authenticate using any of the login credentials already linked to your EGI account
Navigate to My EGI User Community Account page in one of the following ways:
Under the Organisational Identities section of your profile page, expand Actions menu and click Link New Identity.
On the introductory page for Identity Linking, click Begin
You will need to sign in using the login credentials from the institutional/social identity provider you want to link to your account.
After successful authentication, the new Identity Provider will be available under the Organizational Identities tab and you’ll be able to access EGI resources with your existing personal EGI ID using the login credentials of the identity provider you selected in Step 6.
Certificate linking allows you to add the subject DN of your certificate to your existing personal EGI ID. For this you need to import your certificate to your browser.
To link a subject DN to your EGI account:
Enter the following URL in a browser: https://aai.egi.eu/registry
Click Login and authenticate using any of the login credentials already linked to your EGI account
Navigate to My EGI User Community Account page in one of the following ways:
Under the Organisational Identities section of your profile page, expand Actions menu and click Link New Identity.
On the introductory page for Identity Linking, click Begin
Continuously, you will need to sign in using the IGTF Certificate Proxy.
Then select the certificate you want to link to your account from the popup window.
After successful authentication you will be redirected back to your EGI Account. Also, you’ll be able to access EGI resources with your existing personal EGI ID using IGTF Certificate Proxy and your certificate.
To verify that the subject DN is added to your EGI account scroll down to
Organisational Identities and click on view button in the row where
the source is
