The announcement below may be of interest to the BCTF DG. Best Regards, =Joni ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Andreas Åkre Solberg <andreas.solberg(a)uninett.no> Date: 2011/1/25 Subject: Launching Federation Lab To: simplesamlphp(a)googlegroups.com I’m happy to make an early announcement of the availability of the Federation Lab toolkit. We would probably make a broader announcement after receiving feedback from the early testers. The initial set of tools and content available on Federation Lab is somewhat limited. There is plans for improving and extending the set of useful tool during the rest of the Identity Federation project period. If you have ideas for tools that would be useful, please tell us… What can you do with Federation Lab today? - You can login on Federation Lab using your existing Feide OpenIdP user account. Later on, we would like to connect the Federation Lab as a service provider to most european federation through eduGAIN. - A Service Provider Registry using SAMLmetaJS (javascript editor) for registering your test entities - Automated SAML Service Provider Tester: automated testing tool. - OpenIdP: Feide OpenIdP will automatically trust all test entities that are registered. A dedicated FedLab OpenIdP and TestShib are beeing configured soon… We will be contacting commercial vendors and offer them the opportunity to connect test IdPs to the FedLab. - Web-based SAML debugger. Encode and decode messages captured in the SAML flow. A new video screencast is available for those of you interested in learning about what this is, but not neccessarily wants to use the tool for yourself. https://rnd.feide.no/2011/01/25/launching-federation-lab/ We really want feedback on what you think about the Federation Lab. Kind regards Andreas Åkre Solberg GÉANT Identity Federation task leader UNINETT

Kick-Off Telecon—Pls Respond
by Anna Ticktin 14 Jan '11

14 Jan '11

Hello All— In advance of launching a doodle poll to determine a suitable call time for the Business Cases for Trusted Federations Discussion Group (BCTF-DG), I'm circling with the group to nail down some loose times and dates. It has been determined that this DG will begin as a monthly telecon. With that, we're looking at Mondays, Wednesdays or Thursdays. Please review the list of proposed Days + Times. I will compile the feedback against the current Kantara Telecon Schedule and report back either with a definitive call time or a doodle poll for consensus. Please respond with your availability: ( all call times are listed in Pacific Time) Mondays 10:00am [2nd, 3rd or 4th Monday of the month so as not to conflict with our eGOV members] Wednesdays 9:00, 10:00, 11:00 or noon Thursdays 11:00 or noon [2nd or 4th Thursdays so as not to conflict with the FIWG noon meetings] Regards —> Anna Ticktin Technical Program Coordinator anna(a)kantarainitiative.org anna(a)ieee-isto.org

BCTF and EUM Discussion Group Overlap
by Rainer Hörbe 11 Jan '11

11 Jan '11

Dear Ravet, As Patrick mentioned earlier, the number of discussion groups related to federation is straining our resources and we should carefully consider how we can avoid duplicate efforts. The EUM and BCTF DG have similar goals and are candidates for a consolidation. In the LF meeting we had only a short discussion about the backgrounds of both DGs. The key points I understood are that the EUM DG is focused on establishing business cases/projects/liaisons with the ECC. For the BCTF DG, I drafted my ideas about it in http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/x/UIqvAg I would like to see that we could join meetings, some deliverables and if possible to some extent also the administrative structure like management of action items, mailing list and Wiki space. I have no personal preference whether the one DG is seen as a chapter of the other. What do you think? Brgds Rainer Am 03.01.2011 um 18:15 schrieb Anna Ticktin: > Hello Rainer— > > Happy New Year!

It is very confusing and I can't seem to obtain an overall plan or picture about how the Kantara D/W Groups are working to any sort of overall plan or roadmap. So I now belong to 4 groups but I also see that eGov and Citizen ID groups are treading in the same spaces. I just don't have time to attend all the groups nor to follow up with individuals to try to untangle the confusions. I am looking for help!
