1. Welcome /Agenda Bashing
2. Raiders of the Lost Minutes
Philippe to investigate the business model of Managed IdP; for example, client cert based IdP management seems to sell for about 1 USD per user per year for *large* organisations
CloudPath acquired yet again, now with : Ariss?
3. FreeRADIUS OCSP and session caching
FreeRADIUS validates a client certificate only if there is no TLS session cache entry from a previous authentication
The TLS session cache lifetime gets reset to 0 after every successful reauth
-> a user who re-authenticates with TLS session cache / session resumption before caches run out has a "perpetual" account.
That's a rather unexpected behaviour and everybody using EAP-TLS should take a close look.
4. eduroam Managed IdP:
* external testing launch imminent
NROs: Chapter 5 to enable the feature
IdPs: Chapter 6 to actually use the feature
API needs addition to pre-provision Managed IdP profiles (it already allows pre-provisioning RADIUS profiles in CAT 1.1).
Download button should be protected by a checkbox "I have read and agree to the terms and conditions".
'existing IDP' list for admin purpose should be ordered in some way - alphabetically preferably (added to the GitHub feature request)
Discussion on CA post-pilot:
- some say having the end user wait for approx. 2 minutes during the download phase is acceptable, others not
- DFN-CERT would only be able to work against these 2-3 minutes; no real-time
- What is the risk of... not using a HSM at all? Current system good enough?
Basic attitude seems to be that for "just internet" access of individual accounts, the system could just be good enough (provided that entropy is improved with haveged service on the machine)
If that is the case, no changes necessary - but other service in GEANT (JRA3-T1)
would HSM fix the situation/user experience?
PS eg on Linux - cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail - if less than 1k then problem.
midday CET on Thursday is the Campus IdP meeting.
5. Self-service end user debugging - first thoughts
6. next VC date
as per plan: 21 mar 2017 1530 CET
