eduGAIN "baselining"
The eduGAIN Compliance Issues wiki page has been updated but required more attention and this is an ongoing process.
- Countries in [Region] with no Federation (nn), currently only available for Europe, extend to all regions?
Validator report at https://technical.edugain.org/profile_v2 now shows:
- 4 red (non-compliant)
- 44 yellow (partially compliant)
- 15 green (fully compliant)
resolving eduGAIN issues
R&S, SIRTIFI, baselining, validators and the many other tools are all helping to resolve and even prevent issues occuring
for a researcher in one nation seamlessly accessing a service on the other side of the planet. When it all works great!
But when it doesn't determining the fault can be complex. Issues include;
- federation and organisation policies
- awareness
- working across many organisational and national boundaries
- working across time zones
Simple guidance for commuting issues and identifying parties that need to be involved?
Improving awareness for organisations and federations?
Sharing and tracking the issues and the solutions?
