The Infrastructure Proxy is used to connect services that address cross-community use cases, i.e. to make services available to users from the entire NFDI. Accoring to the NFDI-AAI Architecture, the Infrastructure Proxy is supposed to be connected to all Community AAI instances. It therefore brings together user information from different sources:
- Home IdPs from Identity Federations (DFN-AAI and eduGAIN)
- ORCID and Social Login
- DFN edu-ID
- Guest IdPs
- VO membership and resource capability information (Community AAIs)
The Infrastructure Proxy is operated by DFN-CERT on behalf of DFN. For all questions about the Infrastructure Proxy please contact the DFN-AAI hotline (see below)
## Checklist for connecting services to the Infrastructure Proxy
### Technical Aspects
- Make sure that the service supports and is able to consume the Community Attribute Profiles specified in the current version of the [Infrastructure Attribute Policy](policies.md#nfdi-policies)
- The connection to the infra proxy is always established via OpenID Connect:
- The configuration URL of the Proxy's OP component: https://infraproxy.nfdi-aai.dfn.de/.well-known/openid-configuration
- For registering a service, we'd need at least one **redirect_uri**, in exchange for a **client_id** and a **client_secret**.
- The final integration is usually done in an interactive session (video conference).
### Data Protection, Formal Aspects
- Please provide at least a German privacy statement for the service. There are German and English templates available as part of the [NFDI-AAI policy framework](policies.md)
- As part of the policy framework, there are also [templates available](policies.md) for Service Acceptable Use and Service Access Policies, which are both optional. If you're planning to make use of such documents, please let us know.
- As official operator of the Infrastructure Proxy, the DFN acts as data processor ("Auftragsverarbeiter") for the operator of the service. A ready-made Data Processing Agreement ("Auftragsverarbeitungsvereinbarung") exists for this purpose. The DFN-Team takes care of the paperwork.
