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

[Rhys Smith <Rhys.Smith AT jisc.ac.uk>]

From my perspective, generally looking pretty good for a first attempt! Only 
a few things that I noticed that needs addressing:


MDRPS:

Looking good, just one thing - section 5: discusses domain verification in 
terms of entityIDs, but nothing about scopes. Assuming you do the same checks 
for domains in scopes as in entityIDs, you need to document that here. If you 
don’t do those checks, we may have a problem...


Policy: 

Various points mention “technology profiles”, but there are none. You need to 
create that technology profile if you actually reference it.

Section 3.3 - "Must pay the fees. Prices and payment terms are specified in 
appendix”. But no appendix.

Section 4 - edugain service providers are eligible to provide identity 
provider services?


Best,
Rhys.
