SURFnet Collaboration
In a formal message to internet2 leadership, SURFnet has requested continued collaboration on SURFconext and COmanage.
CoCoA and CMP interop
- Benn and Scott have been working with Martin at SURFnet on interoperability between COmanage and SURFconext
- This work has been going well
- they have identified a demo script and integration points
- added provisional support to COmanage registry to expose group and person info
- using VOOT
https://github.com/andreassolberg/voot/wiki/Protocol
- note: VOOT can't express complicated group structures the way Grouper does
- but VOOT covers many use cases
- Getting SURFnet IdP and demo SP to communicate
- Will demo this at VAMP
Social Identity WG and COmanage
https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/socialid/Home
Q: Is there overlap in the work of the SocialID WG with COmanage?
A: Yes, at this point there is becoming some overlap.
Previously the focus of the Social ID WG was on Social to SAML Gateway.
Q: Is the Social ID WG drifting towards a COmanage model?
A: Yes, most likely.
- Keith will serve as a link between the Social ID group and the COmanage TAC
- It's still early in the process for the Social ID group
Suggestions to promote alignment and awareness:
- Encourage the social ID group members to check out the COamanage sessions at FMM
- Have a joint (Social ID WG and COmanage) call in mid to late September
- Have discussions at ACAMP (Benn will attend ACAMP)
Account Linking
Keith's emails on account linking emerged from his work with Project Bamboo.
Q: What is the COmanage status these days on account linking?
A: Benn: account linking has been discussed in relation to potential COmanage demos
- we want to show enrollment into a VO
- problems of getting EPPN out of IDP... makes the demo less smooth and fun
- so possibly use social ID for enrollment
- it comes down to authentication mechanism
- behind the scenes, from the COmanage registry standpoint, whether it's a gmail address or an institutional email, they are both part of one record.
- the data model COmanage supports today for multiple identifiers is manual data entry by an administrator
- ideally in the future COmanage will facilitate
-user authenticates to IdP A
-user authenticates to IdP B
-linking occurs
Next COmanage-TAC call: Friday, 21-Sept-2012 at 2pm ET
