We have several network accounts which can authenticate, but don't provide email facilities or access to PCs (AD purely gives them rights to login to web systems, such as Shibboleth). These are done on demand by us logging a job with IT.
Is this is a possibility? You haven't put the number of users like this you need.
HTH,
Dave

Subject: Authentication of "friends of" ...
I've trawled the archives and the last time I could see significant discussion of how we handle authentication of external people who don't have a home IdP and who we don't want to give a standard institutional account to was back in December 2011 (https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A2=JISC-SHIBBOLETH;d0b7395d.1112).
There were various suggestions mooted at the time (OpenID-Shibboleth bridge, separate "friends of" IdP, https://openidp.feide.no/).
Did any of these come to fruition and/or get adopted as the standard way to deal with this?
What are institutions doing to handle this now?
Paul
