InCommon Operations will add IAQs to the published metadata following notification of certification by InCommon management. These will apply to the relevant IdP entries of the certified IdPOs. Proposed IAQ URIs are:
Silver: http://id.incommon.org/assurance/silver
Bronze: http://id.incommon.org/assurance/bronze
There will likely be need for non-production IAQs for use in interop testing, probably with test instances of metadata. Proposed IAQs:
Silver: http://id.incommon.org/assurance/silver-test
Bronze: http://id.incommon.org/assurance/bronze-test
Note that these URIs are intended to resolve to real pages at some point.
SP behavior
Ideally SPs will initiate the assurance flow by including the desired IAQ in the SAML AuthnRequest element.
