  1. Learn more about the Research & Scholarship Category today!
    1. Information for SP owners wanting to apply for R&S
    2. Information for IdP operators that support R&S
  2. Participate in the Per-Entity Metadata Pilot
  3. Configure your test SPs (and your test IdP if you have one) to consume the preview aggregate, one of three production Metadata Aggregates
  4. Upgrade your production IdP and SP deployments to the latest supported software releases
  5. Install and test Shib IdP 3.0 (current release: Shib IdP 3.0.0-beta1)
  6. Begin preparing for interfederation by taking the following steps:
    1. SPs SHOULD filter IdPs on the discovery interface based on the new Hide From Discovery entity attribute in IdP metadata
    2. IdPs SHOULD NOT rely on the Name XML attribute in InCommon metadata
    3. IdP operators are advised to re-evaluate the use of the basic:ANY type in attribute release policy
    4. IdPs SHOULD migrate away from the legacy InCommon R&S entity attribute value
    5. IdPs SHOULD base their attribute release policy on the REFEDS R&S entity attribute value
    6. It is strongly RECOMMENDED that IdP operators release the R&S attribute bundle to all global R&S SPs

The Preparing for Interfederation document linked above is currently a private document in the TAC wiki space. Only a portion of that document can be made public at this time since we are still working through Phase 1 of the R&S migration.
