Peter,

You are creating confusion here. Please bear in mind that we are a very small organisation and essentially I fit in the role of all that you mentioned :) As an IDP administrator I cannot get support from my local federation because that's me!

What I am looking is :

Does eduGAIN have the policy to accept or not accept IDPs using WS-Fed?
Is eduGAIN structured to really support such IDPs. For example, I am using the hosted  FaaS system and it does not seem to allow me to input an IDP with WS-Fed protocol
I am asking for an example entity as cannot find one myself

Regards
Daniel


  
I think we have to distinguish between publishing around XML and supporting it

Daniel, either you have SAML Metadata available from such a system (in
which case register it in your federation and maybe re-publish it into
eduGAIN, too) or you don't (in which case you'd have to get it from
the WS-Fed system's operator). Once you have it, GOTO step 1.

It's really that simple.
