Ops Update
Two releases of the FM over the last week.
Have had a couple of requests to reassign metadata from one organization to another. Automating that process is on the roadmap (which would relieve a manual RA process). It is low on the priority list right now, but will move up if more requests come in
Shannon sent a note to site admins and execs promoting a private wiki space for information sharing about software security issues

ADFS in Federations
Chris Phillips, wearing his hat from the Canadian Access Federation, provided a presentation about work on an ADFSToolkit, being jointly run by CAF and SWAMID, the access management federation in Sweden. Chris reviewed the drivers behind creation of the toolkit, including a Lynda.com proposal to Ontario for educational access to the Lynda.com services.
Also, ADFS, while small in the number of institutions using it, is growing. The ADFSToolkit provides a way for ADFS to process metadata, support R&S and other entity categories, and provide for attribute release. The toolkit is intended to augment support for federation, not replace Shibboleth. The goal is to begin deputizing ADFS, vs. demonizing the product.
The ADFSToolkit is published in Github. Chris’s slides are published on the agenda above.
