eduGAIN Training Federation Metadata Management Tools

This training session led by Brook Schofield at the eduGAIN Training in Vienna focuses on SAML metadata file creation and management tools relevant to federations. Key insights include leveraging various methods for metadata management, such as manual XML editing and automation via scripts. The four types of federations—Mesh, Hub & Spoke, Aggregate, and X.509—are discussed, alongside notable resources like SWITCH Resource Registry and JANUS-SSP. Participants are encouraged to explore processes and support for evolving federations, particularly in light of the implementation of the eduGAIN opt-in process.

  2. eduGAIN Metadata Management Opt’s • Goal is to create a SAML metadata file • Tip #1: Brook doesn’t understand this space… proceed with caution. • Options as I see them: • Manual (use an XML editor) • Some Automation via Scripts/Version Control • Metadata Management Tools • SWITCH Resource Registry • JANUS-SSP • Federation Registry (AAF)

  3. Types of Federations • 4-Types of Federation • Mesh • Hub&Spoke/Centralised • Aggregate (Kalmar2, eduGAIN)  have their own tools (MDS) • X.509 (IGTF) • Most prominent are: • Mesh (27 instances) • Hub&Spoke (7 instances either centralised/distributed • Tip #2: Stats from the “Proof of Concept” Service Catalogue.

  4. Known Active Federations (with a logo)

  5. Those that responded to my survey…

  6. …hand me the envelope! *Process available but requires documentation. NB:- Signing of metadata outside the scope of these tools – solutions exist.

  7. What is eduGAIN doing about this? • Federation Registry (AAF) • Working with the NZ Summer of eResearch Project • 2 students for 10 weeks for 40 hours per week (800 total hours) • Goal is to implement: • eduGAIN “opt-in” process for Federation Registry • …and add support for DiscoJuiceJSON • Will pave the way for extra-European federations • JANUS-SSP (Primarily WAYF) • AMRES’ new identity federation utilising JANUS-SSP in mesh arch. • Interest from Edugate and others in extending feature set • Tip #3 Contact Brook if you can participate in this work.
