1. Agenda
1.1. Adoption of the agenda
Especially since this one came on such short notice.
1.2. Aaggreg
(15 min, Jozef)
Short presentation of https://lindat.mff.cuni.cz/services/aaggreg/
Discussion.
Decision: We agreed that Jozef offers this to all SPF SPs.
Martin to test this, also Bergen. The tool is considered important moving forward.
1.3. Attribute Release: Sustainable interfederation trust
1.3.1. Known problems
This mostly concerns eduGAIN but also the SPF in certain countries.
- Legal: Differing interpretations of laws
- Resources: Required technical changes require expertise, time. Mistakes can lead to downtime for existing services.
- Priorities: Requests for Attribute Release from Clarin concerns often only a small number of local users.
- Services: Chicken/Egg? problem: Internationalisation of existing SPs has limited return of investment.
1.3.2. Approaches to overcome problems
- SPF: Works well in some countries, less so in others. At least we have the same problems than national SPs.
- Individual connect: takes from 1 day to 2 months, sometimes countless emails. Does not scale.
- Lobbying national federations. Helped somewhat.
- Lobbying eduGAIN. There is still discussion in eduGAIN whether eduGAIN should and can help here.
- Developing services regardless of problems, using Clarin IdP as fallback.
1.3.3. Discussion points
AAI discussions often take place in settings where people present have limited possibilities of making changes happen. How can we overcome this?
- Contacting IdPs? higher up in the hierarchy, supported by requests from users.
- We will keep in touch with Paul.
1.4. Migration of Clarin IdP (Jozef)
LDAP endpoint ready, dockerized, integrated with Clarin services.
Testing instance in development.
2. Notes
3. Action points
Jozef to publish aaggreg to SPF. Martin will implement it and try to make it compatible with the Attribute Checker.
