Starting today, the University of Macau will begin a preliminary trial of connecting to the China Education and Research Network Federation Authentication and Resource Sharing Infrastructure (CARSI).

CARSI services were initiated by Peking University Computing Center in 2006 and managed by China Education and Research Computer Network CERNET Network Center. Peking University Computing Center developed and provided technical support, while CERNET Corp. provided daily operations and user services. Based on the Shibboleth middleware technology led by Internet2, that supports the SAML protocol. This middleware is widely adopted by multiple national research and education networks NREN (National Research and Education Network) internationally. Additionally, as a member of the international identity alliance organization eduGAIN, CARSI makes it more standardized and convenient to access global educational research resources.

Currently, UM staff and students can directly use their UMPASS account to gain trial access to domestic and international electronic resources and databases via CARSI.
