     10== Overview ==
     11
     12The aim of the proposal is to create a Shibboleth service provider for !GeoNetwork (initially !BlueNet MEST). This will allow Australian Access federation users to authenticate with the register and interact with it as if they had authenticated via LDAP or natively.

     30== Motivations ==
     31CSIRO wishes to have a !GeoNetwork repository that can be used by selected collaborators external to the organisation. Rather than add these collaborators to our LDAP or to make the data public we would like to use the [http://www.federation.org.au/ Australian Access Federation] initiative to allow staff from collaborating institutions to log into the !GeoNetwork instance. This will provide large savings on administration time.

     36=== Backwards Compatibility Issues ===
     37
     38Care will be taken to ensure that the current LDAP and native authentication systems are not disrupted by the change.
