Singapore Access Federation (SGAF)
The Singapore Access Federation (SGAF) service is a Federated Identity Management System for Singapore’s research and education community.
SGAF uses SAML 2.0 authentication and authorisation systems to enable scalable, trusted collaborations among Singapore’s R&E community.
The authentication is performed by the user’s home institution, thereby maintaining control of its users’ information. The service provider grants authorized service access based on specific user attributes.
