InCommon Deployment Profile Working Group
The Deployment Profile Working Group will:
Develop a Deployment Profile that describes REQUIRED and RECOMMENDED practices for IDPs and SPs operating in the Higher Education and Research community. This profile could be layered on the existing saml2int profile, but that is just one option. However, the group should choose an approach that works best.
- If necessary and desireable, this Working Group will facilitate an effort to further evolve the current SAML2int profile.
- Identify which of these standards could be tested by InCommon if the federation wanted to insure full profile compliance by participants
The Interop Issues List created in FedInterop Round 1 can serve as point of departure for this work.

Working Group Update, July 5, 2017
The working group has set a new earlier call time to allow for easier international participation. The new call time will be Thursdays at 1 p.m. ET, starting with the July 13th call. We are working towards wrapping up our discussion of identifiers and preparing a request for assistance from MACE-Dir with the creation of two new identifiers.
Working Group Update, January 11, 2017
The working group has categorized and refined the list of issues into issues which may be contributed to saml2int, are for an InCommon-specific or Research and Education federations-specific deployment profile, and issues which are for consideration by federations/federation operators. We have a few 'tough nut to crack' issues which will require extensive discussion before we can formulate additional material for deployment profile consideration. These issues are documented at: Outstanding Issues for Discussion (12/15/2016)
