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

["Saeed Khademi" <saeed AT iranet.ir>]

Hi,

 

Following the Assessment of Pakistan / PKIFED, I have a suggestion.

In PKIFED federation policy, in section 3.3, it talks about

Identity Management Practice Statement.

 

Maybe it is not a bad idea to have such a statement for federation operator as well.

It can give some ideas to other institutions on how to make it.

 

Kind Regards,

Saeed.

Hi,

 

In a quick review of PKIFED web site, I noticed that the following link doesn’t work:

 

PKIFED Federation Discovery Service:  https://pkifed.pk/DS/WAYF

 

It is located in: https://pkifed.pk/index.php/support/

and it is referenced 2 times ( for IDP and SP joining )

 

Also in this page, it says that there is a link to a tutorial for joining but I don’t see any.

I’ll go to read the documents later.

 

Web site is well designed and simple enough to move around. Congrats.

 

Kind Regards,

Saeed.

Subject: [eduGAIN-discuss] Assessment of Pakistan / PKIFED for eduGAIN Membership

 

All,

 

I present to you the application of Pakistan / PKIFED who has signed the eduGAIN Declaration, has a policy based on the policy template, is self declaring their federation as a production service and is wanting to join the global R&E federated environment.

You can find more detailed information about the federation under "eduGAIN Candidates” at
    https://technical.edugain.org/status.php
which contains links to their policy and MRPS.

This application is from an organisation that is closely aligned with the GÉANT community via their participation in the Asi@Connect, TEIN and APAN projects and communities. They are also the eduroam .pk roaming operator.

So I ask the following federations to specifically review the submission by PKIFED:

* Greece/GRNET

* Hong Kong/HKAF

* Hungary/eduId.hu

* India/INFED

* Iran/IR Fed

 

All eduGAIN members can (and should) provide feedback on this but to share the burden of review around, these five (5) federations have a specific responsibility.

If you have any questions please contact the PKIFED team (Abdullah Fayyaz Chatta + Waqas Ahmed Khan) that are subscribed to this mailing list as well as CC’d to this message.

Formal components of the membership process will be via the eduGAIN Steering Group mailing list.

Thanks,

-Brook
