Public Review for Comments and IPR Review for SAML V2.0 Deployment Profile for Federation Interoperability v1.0


Dear Kantara Initiative Members and Community,

This is a formal notice.

Members of the Kantara Initiative Federation Interoperability Work Group (FIWG) have recently approved the SAML V2.0 Deployment Profile for Federation Interoperability. The document described below now enters a 45-day public comment and IPR review period in preparation for an all-member ballot to consider its approval as a Kantara Initiative Specification Recommendation.


Document: SAML V2.0 Deployment Profile for Federation Interoperability
Version: 1.0
Document Date: 2019-09-09
Document URL: Please download the document here:  https://kantarainitiative.github.io/SAMLprofiles/saml2int.html    


Overview of Document:
This profile specifies behavior and options that deployments of the SAML V2.0 Web Browser SSO profile, and related profiles, are required or permitted to rely on. This deployment profile should not be confused with a SAML implementation profile, such as [SAML2Impl]. A deployment profile specifies how software should be configured given a specific set of deployment goals. An implementation profile tells software developers how they must implement their software in order to meet basic requirements.
 
This is an open invitation to comment. Kantara Initiative solicits feedback from potential users, developers and other interested parties, whether Kantara Initiative members, non-member participants or not, for the sake of improving the interoperability and quality of its technical work.

Public Review and IPR Review Period Opens: 12/10/2019 5:00PM EST
Review Period Closes: 01/25/2020 5:00PM EST
