WAYF/DS

CESNET operates Where Are You From (WAYF) also known as Discovery Service (DS) for eduID.cz federation entities since 2012. The main goal is to provide federation users with WAYF supporting both personal computers as well as modern mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets running various operating systems (Microsoft Windows, Linux/UNIX, macOS, iOS and Android).

WAYF for all devices is available at:

  • https://ds.eduid.cz/wayf.php

Configuration

There is a configuration manual for both federation entities:
