Comparison Identifiers
- This is a document that compares user identifiers (based on their definitions) in use within the InCommon Federation with five fundamental identifier characteristics to determine when and if an identifier is appropriate to use given any federated SSO scenario. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oPzFm1MKcdIk96VrRZXeTmIRMFgwYf4iDRe3tEHZMOE/edit#
- Albert reported that the document is almost complete.
- Some discussion about combining some sections of the document to improve readability.
- Albert has a few changes yet to make.
- For the chart, Nic suggested some language to define the terms Poor, Fair, Good, Excellent. Another suggestion is to use sufficient/insufficient instead. Or use a green checkmark with footnotes where needed.
- Purpose of the chart - to emphasize the need to move to the new identifiers and provide a glance at the risks of continuing to support the old identifiers.
Deployment Profile - what’s next?
Albert - IdPaaS report calls out support for the deployment profile.
TAC- Review what is in the deployment profile. Will add this to the pre-reads for the next call. Albert will prepare a draft enumeration the profile statements and the relative status in the federation. Mark volunteered to help with that.
