Present

Minutes

  • SWAMID supports entity attribute in the metadata management tool
  • CERN QA SP now has the entity attribute in eduGAIN with {"profiles":{"sirtfi":{"entities":[{"include":true,"match":"assurance_certification","select":"https://refeds.org/sirtfi"}],"strict": true}}}. This is a good test, includes "strict"
  • SeamlessAccess group met at TechEx
    • limited integration + filtering might be as useful as advanced integration & therefore might accelerate adoption of SeamlessAccess
  • Pål: National federations must do heavy lifting in support for this, especially the fedops where the SPs are registered
  • Pål: we want to limit the size of metadata ... could define an entity category, but then fedops would have to support that entity category
  • "Pass by reference" means we need the profiles hosted somewhere. On SeamlessAccess?
  • Would need some development in pyFF, too. Currently it only parses metadata as part of an SP: https://github.com/IdentityPython/pyFF/blob/7ae32b35627a7bb8cce33912921adeaae960ea05/src/pyff/samlmd.py#L1043
  • Next steps have to be designed with scaling in mind. Different use cases: CERN wants Sirtfi; publishers probably want a large list of IdPs; others, too.
  • Defining what's in the JSON must be led by SeamlessAccess, although it can still go through REFEDS
  • Define trustinfo as XML schema first? And then how can we translate this to OpenID Federation ... these are steps 2, 3, 4...


Actual next steps: 

  • REFEDS consultation just on transport and EA
  • call for more participation including chair of REFEDS WG
  • priority is filtering because we won't get adoption if we don't have it


Next meeting Thursday 16 January 2025.
