As of Feb 17, all but four (4) R&S SPs have been migrated to meet the requirements of REFEDS R&S; that is, 28 of 32 R&S SPs now have a multivalued R&S entity attribute in metadata:

...

OTOH, I believe the other two (nanoHUB.org and Penn State WikiSpaces) will successfully migrate make the transition by the end of February.

Outline of Phase II

An R&S IdP migrates to REFEDS R&S by changing its config from this:

Code Block

title	The configuration of an IdP that has NOT migrated to REFEDS R&S

<afp:AttributeFilterPolicy id="releaseFullBundleToRandS">

  <afp:PolicyRequirementRule xsi:type="saml:AttributeRequesterEntityAttributeExactMatch"
      attributeName="http://macedir.org/entity-category"
      attributeValue="http://id.incommon.org/category/research-and-scholarship"/>

  <!-- attribute rules here -->

</afp:AttributeFilterPolicy>

to this:

Code Block

title	The configuration of an IdP that has migrated to REFEDS R&S

<afp:AttributeFilterPolicy id="releaseFullBundleToRandS">

  <afp:PolicyRequirementRule xsi:type="saml:AttributeRequesterEntityAttributeExactMatch"
      attributeName="http://macedir.org/entity-category"
      attributeValue="http://refeds.org/category/research-and-scholarship"/>

  <!-- attribute rules here -->

</afp:AttributeFilterPolicy>

When an R&S IdP migrates to REFEDS R&S (as above), the entity attribute in IdP metadata will be changed from this:

Code Block

language	XML
title	The InCommon R&S Entity Attribute for IdPs

<mdattr:EntityAttributes
    xmlns:mdattr="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:metadata:attribute">
  <!-- the InCommon entity attribute value for R&amp;S IdPs -->
  <saml:Attribute
      xmlns:saml="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:assertion"
      NameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:uri"
      Name="http://macedir.org/entity-category-support">
    <saml:AttributeValue>
      http://id.incommon.org/category/research-and-scholarship
    </saml:AttributeValue>
  </saml:Attribute>
</mdattr:EntityAttributes>

to this:

Code Block

title	The REFEDS R&S Entity Attribute for IdPs

<mdattr:EntityAttributes
    xmlns:mdattr="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:metadata:attribute">
  <!-- the REFEDS entity attribute value for R&amp;S IdPs -->
  <saml:Attribute
      xmlns:saml="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:assertion"
      NameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:uri"
      Name="http://macedir.org/entity-category-support">
    <saml:AttributeValue>
      http://refeds.org/category/research-and-scholarship
    </saml:AttributeValue>
  </saml:Attribute>
</mdattr:EntityAttributes>

The InCommon R&S entity attribute value is not exported to eduGAIN. That is, only Only the REFEDS R&S entity attribute value is exported to eduGAIN (whereas the InCommon R&S entity attribute value is filtered at the border of the InCommon Federation).
R&S IdPs that migrate to REFEDS R&S will be automatically exported to eduGAIN once global R&S SPs have been imported into InCommon metadata.

Warning

title	Open Question

What about new R&S IdPs? Should new R&S IdPs be allowed to declare their support for InCommon R&S only?
