    The INFLIBNET Centre, as executing agency for the eShodhSindhu project, has taken the responsibility of authenticating users from all undergraduate colleges (members of NLIST Component of eShodhSindhu), since neither these colleges nor their affiliating universities, are equipped or have technical capabilities to run their own Shibboleth-based authentication mechanism, the INFED would host Identity Provider Services that would virtually serve all colleges. All institutions (i.e. Universities, CFTIs and Others that are members of the eShodhSindhu Consortium would also be allowed to host and maintain their Identity database at the INFED Server. However, institutions that have technical capabilities, requisite technical know and necessary computing and network infrastructure would be encouraged to set-up their own IDPs as per the technical specifications defined by the INFED. Since the Shibboleth model is designed to run on separate distributed Identity Provider Services located in the participating institutions, necessary changes have been made in software in order to host multiple Identity Provider Services virtually on servers hosted at the INFED.
