Hello,

We have just released the new version of the eduGAIN validator.

One new rule was added: a warning is presented when we suspect that SIRTFI is wrongly declared as entity category.

We have a few such issues in the eduGAIN upstreams which then appear in the eduGAIN feed now.

I also fixed a bug which caused the validator to fail when a signing certificate did not contain a "common name" field.

There is a small addition to the aggregation procedure as well. We got suggestion to produce eduGAIN feed which is sorted

by entityID value.

We decided to start with additionally published edugain-sorted-v2.xml feed which appears now every hour together with edugain-v2.xml.

We are curious about your opinion. Could we just replace the edugain-v2.xml with the sorted version?

eduGAIN OT
Maja
