GRNET eID Proxy

The GRNET eID Proxy service is a service that will be used to enable authenticated access to the AcademicID service through the eIDAS network. There are three instances of the GRNET eID Proxy:

  1. Production – Connected with the production instance of the Greek eIDAS Node which, in turn, is connected to a number of production eIDAS Nodes of other Member States. This allows eIDAS cross-border authentication using natural/legal person account credentials.

  2. Preproduction – Connected with the preproduction instance of the Greek eIDAS Node which, in turn, is connected to a number of preproduction eIDAS Nodes of other Member States. This allows for testing eIDAS cross-border authentication using test natural/legal person account credentials.

  3. Test – Connected with an eIDAS Node deployed locally at GRNET to allow testing eIDAS authentication using test natural/legal person account credentials.

The remainder of this chapter describes a high-level view of the GRNET eID Proxy service architecture, the eIDAS authentication flow and the integration process for services using OpenID Connect or SAML.
