HEP entering new phase of sustainability

The HEP platform is now equipped for user registration and authentication with its own Identity Provider, operated by the HEP consortium. Moreover, it comes with a robust identity federation capability. This will allow for the rapid onboarding of new user communities, and will pave the way for federating new organizations that are maintaining their own identity provider service (IdP), and are managing user communities interested to join the Platform.

As an example, users can continue to sign-in on HEP using their ESA EO account, via the related button available in the sign-in page (see screenshot below).
