eduGAIN "raising the bar"

Question from SurfConext: "A question about https://technical.edugain.org/validator2. We get quite some warnings for SP's "md:RequestedAttribute not found" and/or "CoCo declared but md:RequestedAttribute element not found". But we think it's a feature - it's even better because these SP's only want a NameID, nothing else."

Notes

Welcome, Introductions & Agenda Agreement

The Chair welcomed everyone to the 2nd meeting of 2019.

See the Open Actions & Previous Meeting notes. The major open action will be covered within the meeting.

The wiki migration/update from earlier in the year has caused a problem with the open/complete action list. The Chair (or Casper) will remedy this.

The last meeting referenced two issues:

  • YETKİM MRPS as a result of joining
  • MDS certificate rollover

The latter issue is tabled for the agenda and Tomasz + the eduGAIN OT have conveyed this to the federations via the eduGAIN SG list (some "users" of the metadata were unaware of this change and there has been discussion on the Slack domain on this topic.

YETKİM have updated their MRPS and Uğur Yilmaz has voted in the most recent vote.

Discussion on how to deal with members that have been dorman and are now participating. MRPS flagging and revalidation FYI to the SG.

Set 'grace' period, 3-6 months. It should be clear that MRPS must be in place when a federation joins eduGAIN.

Revalidating changes to policy documents won't be taken on as a task at this point in time.

Membership Updates and Joining

For details on new members and candidates see https://technical.edugain.org/status and work on progressing new members is underway.

No candidates currently under assessment.

Of the recent member federations, two (LIAF + CARSI) are providing metadata feeds.

eduGAIN MDS Certificate Rollover

The certificate that transports the signing key for MDS will expire on 1 July 2019.

OT to look at statistics on who's using the OLD feed location.

eduGAIN "raising the bar"

The eduGAIN Compliance Issues wiki page has been to be updated and this is an ongoing process.

Baseline expectation initiative by InCommon was discussed during the REFEDS meeting at TNC19. This could be an interesting initiative for eduGAIN too. Try to increase velocity in respect to gather the baseline.

Validator now shows:
3 reds
45 yellow

How long would baseline take to complete? The believe by Ann West (based on the time that it took from InCommon) was in the order of 3-5 years.

Terry reported that the AAF required IdPs to support R&S and SIRTFI to "opt-in" to eduGAIN.

Technical Metadata, InCommon Behavioural Baseline, Validator2 are 3 different types of metadata that create interoperability issues for federations that violate these interoperability rules between federations.

Set up a scale/colour code/score card to monitor.

Set up a Work Group that comes up with recommendations? Promote this at TechEx.

CoCo monitor: is it useful if it could alarm the helpdesk.

eduGAIN SG Chair

The eduGAIN Steering Group Chair position that is currently held by Brook Schofield has expired.

Terry Smith has agreed to be the new SG Chair (2019-2020).
Observers from research institutions. They are invited to these meetings. Call for participation.

Future meetings

The next SG meeting was confirmed to take place on Tuesday 17th September 2019 13:00 UTC.
