This incubator project focuses on applying IAM4NFDI standards within the BERD@NFDI infrastructure. We aim to adopt best practices and reference implementations (e.g., OpenID Connect, entitlement-based access) to future-proof our platform for federated, cross-consortia workflows. The project will help ensure compatibility with external services such as Galaxy, and position BERD for participation in the EOSC federated system.
Best practice AAI for BERD Data Portal is an incubator project within the Identity and Access Management (IAM) basic service of Base4NFDI.
