  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.
