InCommon & eduGAIN membership and compatibility - SimplyPrint is InCommon and eduGAIN-ready (via WAYF)

If your organization or school supports SSO via eduGAIN, InCommon, or WAYF, you can seamlessly use SimplyPrint as a service provider.


What is eduGAIN?

eduGAIN (Education Global Authentication Infrastructure) is a global service that connects national identity federations to facilitate secure, single sign-on access to academic and research resources worldwide.

By linking over 80 federations and more than 8,000 identity and service providers, eduGAIN enables students, researchers, and staff to use their institutional credentials to access services across borders, eliminating the need for multiple accounts.
