Discussion

Announcements and Updates

  • Chris mentioned that the Internet Identity Workshop (IIW) is in a couple of months; they’re hoping for federation people to attend. John said they’re thinking about a possible companion event, adjacent to IIW. IIW will be in-person.
  • The Linking SSO Systems Working Group charter has been published with a DOI (http://doi.org/10.26869/TI.163.1). Rob will work with Netta later this week and/or next week to announce the group and solicit participants.

TAC subcommittee on subject identifier adoption 

  • TAC is looking at how to make progress on moving people away from bad choices for identifying subjects to the new standard for subject identifiers. This will involve explaining why this is important and providing detail for a process for getting adoption. We probably have, say, 80% who can migrate relatively easily, but the rest will take more effort.
  • This fits well into CACTI’s “community standards” focus area.
  • Chris and Kevin expressed interest in the group. Les and Steven will get back to TAC.
  • This has overlap with REFEDS’s new standards that require the new subject identifiers.
  • Chris mentioned that the Shibboleth project is dropping ePTID in its default configuration.
    • This will help get IdPs moving, but SPs will be moving at a different pace. This needs to be addressed.

CACTI Themes for 2022

  • Review of CACTI members' thoughts about priorities for 2022
    • Rob screen-shared slides (https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1P93I_exxNjS-U9uwTkME1zvnlUm_VR6krTw3GF0an3Y/edit#slide=id.p) summarizing the results of his poll for members' thoughts.
      • We discussed the first two slides, summarizing responses concerning members' motivations for participating in CACTI, as well as needs of the community.
    • Les expressed some concern about the “incursion” of commercial offerings. Some commercial offerings are actually very good. It was agreed that the language should reflect that.
    • John pointed out that we’re largely being reactive. SAML and OIDC are legacy; there’ll be something else in the future. We need to plan for that future. We need to try to understand where the (largely commercial) world is going and how we can fit into or augment it.
