DATE: 20 November 2012
TIME: 16:30
ROOM: Alternative
TOPIC: Interfederation
CONVENER: Niels van Dijk
SCRIBE: Brook
# of ATTENDEES: Klaas, Peter, Nicole, Lukas
MAIN ISSUES DISCUSSED
- How do you get to an SP in another federation, from an IdP in your home federation.
- Requirements:
- SAML2 (in both federations)
- Federations (at A and B)
- Bilateral Peering is possible (but you don't want to do that because it doesn't scale)
- UK Federation + Edugate interfederation agreement
- Easy: Metadata, Attributes, Workflow
- Hard: Trust (federation operator processes)
- Cheating - because meaningful attributes
- HTTP GET doesn't work too bad at the moment.
- How large was the HOSTS file before it was too big.
