# of ATTENDEES: ~20
MAIN ISSUES DISCUSSED:
Nicole opened up with a background of entity categories, the what and wh= y.
What can/shall REFEDS do with regards to entity categories? Harmonize en= tity categories? Produce information material aiming at different stakehold= ers? Standardization of the Library category is the next step.
How do we define success? Incommon has 60 large univ using entity catego=
ries - is that success or failure?
Entity categories can and shall exist in parallel with other methods of ge=
tting/releasing attributes.
In Incommon it's the federation that assigns entity categories to entiti= es after entities themselves submits to Incommon.
Incommon has a SP that can test if an IdP correctly releases the correct= attributes (Genie?)
Discussion on purpose with entity categories, end goal. (Scott C)
What software supports Entity Categories? Do we have good coverage? Shib= b - Yes, SimpleSAMLphp - on the way, ADFS - yes, through femma (addon devel= oped by Roland H)
Increasing uptake - through discovery? As IdPs can be tagged to support =
IF they support entity categories a SPs DS can restrict and only show the I=
dPs that are marked "support entity category".
Creating a stronger community - getting in touch with the right people. On=
e on one? Once you got hold of a good person
AARnet has good connections with the CIOs - but often the message stops at=
the CIO level...
Attribute release - default closed or open? Can Shibboleth per default b= e shipped releasing attributes, making it more of a "opt out" option? A que= stion for the Shibboleth board..
Will changing defaults actually make a difference or does the univ take = a active decision in NOT releasing attributes? Is this a "policy" issues th= at could be raised to XEO level for support?
What options are there for getting more attributes released? Changing de= faults.. Raising the issue to CEO-level... Implementing a test-tool for end= users to shame and praise IdPs releasing IdPs?
Can we as federations use more sticks in demanding in what IdPs need to = meet in order to be let in the federations?
ACTIVITIES GOING FORWARD / NE= XT STEPS:
Standardize within REFEDS on the Libr= ary entity category.
