Activity Overview
Panel | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
This workpackage T&I work package continues the work on IdP discovery as it was done in eduETAMS started in GN4-2 in the eduTEAMS and IdP Discovery subtask. It gathers requirements, and works with the RA21 initiative towards an implementation that can become a service in the GEANT project. At the same time it helps handing over the existing eduTEAM Discovery Service to the new (GN4-3 WP5 T1) eduGAIN service. |

The current DSX Discovery Service (was initially called eduTEAMS Discovery Service) is operated on https://dsx.edugain.org (several physically distributed servers) and a test instance on https://dsx-test.edugain.org. Its software is the CESNET SAML2 Discovery Service implementation (PHP). Even though the service is not considered yet a production service according to the GEANT PLM (because it is neither part of the eduTEAMS nor eduGAIN service currently), the service has been operated as managed service on the same production hardware by CESNET that CESNET uses for their own production Discovery Service. The three main features that distinguish this implementation from others are:
The Discovery Service documentation (for SP administrators) is on the GEANT wiki. The RA21 prototype Discovery Service (special branch based on pyFF, python) has been developed by Leif Johansson (SUNET) with and for the RA21 project. A prototype of the user interface is available on the pyFF nightly instance. It demonstrates an example user interface that was invested quite some work in together with RA21 UI experts and that was mostly created with the RA21 target services (login on publisher web sites) in mind. Please describe the technical details for this pilot. <Enter here> |

What is the business case for this Incubator project? Who would be customers of this solution and what would potential business case look like? <Enter here> | ||
The long term goal of this pilot is to contribute to a state-of-the-art, user-friendly, SAML2-compliant default IdP Discovery Service that eduGAIN Service Providers can use (alternatively to operating their own Discovery Service or rely on a federation-specific one). This Discovery Service can be delivered as either of these:
Part of the work of this cycle will be to identify the most suitable delivery model of the above. |

The DSX Discovery service already has a Privacy Policy. Its implementation (by CESNET) is already very privacy aware compared to other discovery service implementations. |

This activity is successfully finished when:
How do data protection and privacy impact this Incubator project? Think about e.g. handling of personal data of users |

The discovery pilot will be handed over to T1 eduGAIN for the purpose of making it a production service Most likely, the RA21 work continued in this cycle will not be complete. Ideally, this cycle is followed by another cycle with similar staff member and a better understanding of the RA21 service. |
