Hi,  
Is there any manual or documentation where I can see how it works this page?

 ![image](https://talk.getindico.io/uploads/default/original/2X/f/f4082ec1f8481b33cd158f89e5e0e349e640298b.jpeg)

I would like to learn more about eduGAIN.  
Currently we have a MAXIV staff login and an external login (external guest access in this image) but it could be useful the eduGAIN method because a lots of our users are from European universities.  
Regards,  
Alberto

The SSO is based on Keycloak; so this is outside the scope of setting up Indico.

If you “just” want edugain, I think all you need to do is setting up Shibboleth linked to the edugain IdP though.

Take a look at [https://indico.cern.ch/event/995485/contributions/4259753/attachments/2211273/3742368/CERN%20Authentication%20and%20Authorization.pdf](https://indico.cern.ch/event/995485/contributions/4259753/attachments/2211273/3742368/CERN%20Authentication%20and%20Authorization.pdf) were the CERN setup explained in more detail.
