The Internet2 wiki is moving on August 8, 2018.
Internet2 is transitioning its Confluence wiki from spaces.at.internet2.edu to spaces.at.internet2.edu. This is more than just an address change. The new instance will use a new registry and permissions management system, so all users will have a new record in this system. This wiki transition is part of a larger project that will allow working group chairs and others to manage resources and permissions. We’re using Grouper and COmanage to manage access to the wiki and email lists.
This change likely means you need to configure your Identity Provider to release attributes to the new entity spaces.at.internet2.edu so your users see a seamless transition. We encourage you to take this opportunity to support the Research & Scholarship category and release the associated attributes (see below).
Update Your Attribute Release Policy
You may need to update your attribute release policy to include the new wiki: spaces.at.internet2.edu.
Adopt Research & Scholarship
We encourage you to take this opportunity to support the Research & Scholarship (R&S) entity category and release the associated basic set of attributes. When you support R&S, you release the attribute bundle to the entire category of Service Providers (which are vetted by InCommon or one of our sister federations that are part of eduGAIN - you can see a list here). Releasing R&S to the new spaces.at.internet2.edu means your faculty and staff should have seamless access to the new wiki address and their associated permissions.
Note that the list of R&S Service Providers includes a number of collaboration tools. Even if your campus is not research-focused, you may have faculty and staff that need access to these services.
The R&S attribute bundle includes the following required data elements.
- shared user identifier
- person name
- email address
and one optional data element:
- affiliation
For more information, see item #5 on the R&S entity category description.
Configure Your Identity Provider to Release the R&S Attributes
There is a wiki page that provides detailed information and instructions on how to configure your IdP to release the R&S attributes to all R&S Service Providers.
