An open discussion list for topics related to the eduGAIN interfederation service.

Tom,

We provide a single feed to our members, it is filtered in much the same way as Olivier has described, it also filters out irrelevant entities (i.e. private entities from other institutions), but as I said, I’ve no way of filtering such entities that emanate from eduGAIN

I hope I provide the details you expected.

Yes, indeed. InCommon is way behind RENATER and SWITCH with respect to
interfederation. This is very helpful. Thank you very much.

Did you consider providing a single metadata aggregate to your
members? If so, can say why you chose to provide multiple aggregates
instead?

It seems that separating the metadata aggregates with a clear definition of what they include helps IdP/SP admin have a finer control of what they load. Also, given the current groth of metadata files nowadays and technical issues it creates (latest releases of simpleSAMLphp and SWITCH WAYF to use a different XML parser, tuning of the JVM for a Shibboleth IdP) it seems reasonable that a SAML implementation only loads the SAML metadata it has need for:

• SPs need IdPs metadata,
• IdPs need SPs metadata,
• DS need both.
