eduGAIN Operation Processes
- Modification of production systems
- Summary of the deployment of profile v2
Documentation: eduGAIN Operations - SAML
Thomas and Davide explainend that the beta feed will be removed after implementation to avoid confusing. Should probably renamed in e.g. testing feed. This is different than preproduction.
Chris seconded the idea of having a test and preproduction feed. This will be benefiting the smaller federations that don't have the resources to run tests themselves.
eduGAIN Town Hall
- https://eventr.geant.org/events/3250.
- 24th - 25th March, Stockholm.
- Send topic ideas to the eduGAIN-SG list.
Possibly in March 2020, but needing to include topics broader than just eduGAIN to justify travel + wider participation (to include eduroam, possibly REFEDS WGs, invite FIM4R, FIM4L, possibly some “CAMP” type sessions). This will be coordinated by Casper Dreef and was broadly supported. A Town Hall hasn't been convened since 2017, the end of 2018 event was skipped because of the preparation of the GN4-3 project. This event is to have a global focus to better support transcontinental travel.
eduGAIN "baselining"
The eduGAIN Compliance Issues wiki page has been updated but required more attention and this is an ongoing process.
...
Three Baseline meetings took place over the last couple of months. You can find the notes here: https://wiki.refeds.org/display/GROUPS/Baseline+Expectations+Working+Group
Resolving eduGAIN issues
R&S, SIRTFI, baselining, validators and the many other tools are all helping to resolve and even prevent issues occuring for a researcher in one federation seamlessly accessing a service on the other side of the planet. When it all works great!
...
Who and how to provide guidance is an open issue for a different forum.
Future meetings
The dates for the next SG meetings and Drop-in sessions will be shared in due course.
...
Chris raised the issue of discussion documents on service catalogue. Terry highlighted emerging federations needing a service catalogue to point people toward a service - in a follow-up email he also flagged REFEDS Service Catalogue Best Practices and 2018 REFEDS Workplan. Pål highlighted the fact that with more than 3000 SPs within eduGAIN it is difficult to curate and maintain a list. Terry highlighted the desire of service providers to provide good information to encourage update of their service. Chris flagged the importance of a service might differ between federations.
AoB and Close
What to do with non-compliant federations? Should we remove them from the participants list and demote them to membership or create a 'suspended' list?
