1) IdPS + ULX WG
...
Common Charter
Two weeks ago we had a discussion on this topic and a couple of days ago. Our discussion was about this thread and this document. Gael sent this email to the list:
...
- Section (4) DRAFT TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: third bullet addition: we don't entirely understand this. Seems to imply that we shouldn't make up entirely new things; try to reuse existing SAML metadata. Perhaps "newly designed features should be as compatible and consistent as possible with existing specifications" is part of the intent here.
- GAEL: In fact, we envisoned here that some specifications already exist and could be extended to enable IDPs to express their capabilities and presentation characteristics (same as what is refered as "Identity Provider Inputs" here : http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/ulx/Inputs+to+the+RP+Pop+Up+UI). For a SAML IDP, we can leverage the SAML Metadata specifications, for OpenID OPs, we can maybe leverage the YADIS/XRDS specifications, ... We have presented the following slides in the IDPS session last week on this topic : http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/download/attachments/41027190/IDP+Metadata+Status+and+Evo+v02.ppt that describe lacks in existing specs and evolution proposals (we already had some comments during the session and on the mailing list). So our intent is as you wrote : "newly designed features should be as compatible and consistent as possible with existing specifications" but it does not mean that there is nothing to do and we are opened to discuss all technical solutions (including entirely new things if it makes sense).
The group discussed the above and is in general agreement.
AI: Paul to read the Liberty IdP Selector MRD that's been circulated and call out to the list any issues that he sees.
