This page provides status updates on the progress of the Shibboleth Enhancements RFP released in spring of 2013. The enhancements will enable a Shibboleth IdP to support the InCommon Assurance Program's multiple assurance profiles, as well as other authentication contexts that may be defined by IdPOs and their partners.
Status as of August 6, 2013
- Paul Hethmon was selected by the RFP process to implement the enhancements.
- The three campuses that will perform acceptance testing have been identified. They are represented by David Langenberg of the University of Chicago, Warren Curry and Martin Smith of the University of Florida, and Steven Carmody of Brown University. These people are also acting as an early sounding board for design decisions.
- Paul is completing a first draft of the design documents over the next week or two for public review. The configuration files (which include specification of the IdP's supported authentication contexts and authentication methods) have already been reviewed internally.
