IDEM (IDEntity Management for federated access)
It is an authentication service which allows users of academic and research entities that are part of the federation to use their credentials (those used in their institution) for access, also to access federated resources of all the participating institutions to the project. Since April 1, 2009, the IDEM Federation has been operating at the GARR Consortium with the aim of creating the Authentication and Authorization infrastructure of the GARR network. The University of Verona is federated in IDEM: the credentials to be used for access with federated authentication are those of GIA (University Identity Management).

ACCESS RULE
The University Network is connected to the GARR Network (Research Network Extension Management) which provides connectivity to the entire Internet Network.
The GARR Network is the Network of the Italian Community of Universities and Scientific and Technological Research and is based on collaborative projects between Italian universities and public research institutions. This aims to "provide researchers with services independent of geographic location, promoting coordination and collaboration in national and international research activities and the diffusion and testing of advanced technologies and new services".
Access to the university network is regulated by the specific Acceptable Use Policies (AUP) and the use is allowed only for institutional activities, ie "research, teaching, administrative functions" and exclusively to people belonging to the GARR Community
