About #

The Fedora Account System (“FAS”) is a collection of systems which together provide Fedora users with authentication, authorization, and identity (“profile”) services across the Fedora ecosystem. Within FAS we have facilities to track people’s varying usernames across many of the services that we use. This data will be critical to interpreting user activity.

Obviously, data from this system needs to undergo careful PII review before publishing.

See:

• Fedora Infra “Authentication” docs
• FreeIPA - The system which backs our profile service.
• fasjson - An API in front of FreeIPA
  • fasjson-client
