Hi,
SWAMID is one of those that federations that has ADFS as identity providers and for us is this a question of getting skilled administrators working with the identity providers. It’s very hard to get hold of an administrator for an odd duck. The identity provider software is today a very odd duck in the IT environment at our member institutions. To leverage this many CIO has decided from a qualified personnel supply perspective. It much easier for them to get skilled Microsoft server administrators with good knowledge of ADFS then skilled java administrators with good knowledge of Shibboleth. To have a well working infrastructure you need more than one person that understand how the different parts of it works and makes it even harder.
With that said we as an identity federation must help them to run what they are able to handle in ordinary system operational good fashion. Even though we know there are problems with ADFS we decided to heavily invest in support for ADFS. We started the work on ADFStoolkit some years ago and Chris came in and helped us make it a finished package. ADFStoolkit handle most of the problems that ADFS has regarding multilateral identity federations but some things are still problematic.
We have understood that SWAMID must meet our member organizations some where in the middle to still be relevant. For us the policy side is relative straight forward but the technology always throws a curve ball due to non technical constraints.
Pål
