- The R&S category is most useful to those services that do not require out-of-band negotiation with IdPs.
- The service should request a subset of R&S Category Attributes, and furthermore, the service should request only those attributes it absolutely needs. (See the section on R&S Category Attributes section above for details.)
- The SP should fully support SAML V2.0 Web Browser SSO (see the SP Endpoints wiki page).
- The SP should provide a complete set of User Interface Elements in metadata. In particular, a Privacy Statement and a Logo are highly recommended.
- In addition to the Technical and Administrative Contacts in Metadata required of all SPs, a Security contact should also be provided (once that option becomes available).
- The SP should strive to provide a good, overall Federation User Experience. In particular, the SP should intelligently handle errors involving the release of requested attributes. InCommon now operates a centralized Error Handling Service which that SPs can use to report errors to users.
