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

[Nicole Harris <harris AT terena.org>]

Hi All

I spoke to the edugain team and the suggestion is to make:
https://wiki.edugain.org/isFederatedCheck/ the authoritative source
(click on the "all known federations" link to see the federation
information) with the aim to embed this tool in eduGAIN technical site
toolkit properly in the future.  So a good opportunity to make sure that
the information is correct and to add information about edugain to your
metadata page if it is not already there. 

Hope that helps

Nicole
