In this activity, the Incubator will investigate how to integrate the SeamlessAccess functionality with OpenID Federation - the new federation technical profile. SeamlessAccess is a mature tool that many use daily. It serves as a discovery service at several key service providers, with a common look-and-feel and well-understood functionality. In this task, the Incubator does not have to develop novel user-facing functionality, instead, the goal is to make SeamlessAccess to work the same way with OIDFed as with SAML, preferably the user not even noticing the difference. Envisioned tasks: - investigate OpenID Federation discovery, OP listing methods
- investigate SeamlessAccess architecture to find points of integration
- create proof-of-concept solution
- engage other OpenID Federation efforts, ie. eduGAIN PoC, national OIDFed efforts.
