This consultation opens on 14th April 2020 at 17:00 CEST and closes on 14th May 2020 at 17:00 CEST.
Background
The goal of this specification, "SAML V2.0 Metadata Deployment Profile for errorURL Version 1.0” is to offer specific guidance on how a service should inform users of non-technical shortcomings of logins.
As indicated in the specification:
This profile provides a set of conventions around the use of the attribute that extends the usefulness of the feature such that Service Providers can make more effective use of the feature when encountering conditions that can plausibly be remedied by the user’s Identity Provider. The profile is compatible with existing uses of the attribute such that Service Providers can easily determine if the profile is supported by the Identity Provider.
The document contains four main sections:
An introduction that describes the purpose of the specification.
A profile description that defines a convention for the syntax for the errorURL
User interface guidance
Examples
The specification has been prepared by the REFEDS Best Practice around Error Handling Working Group and is now being made available for public consultation according to the REFEDS Participants Agreement.
