DISCUSSION
*Demo Script*
There was positive response to the demo script that Steven emailed on June 10. This is the generic researcher demo script, and other demo scripts may follow. Rob and Shilen at Duke will provide some input on student use of the portal for additional scripts. Management of permissions is an area of the demo where Steven would like input.
...
There was discussion of the reason for passing along a delegated token versus having the backend tier doing an attribute query. Steven explained that the delegated token is being passed along so that the backend tier can validate the token by querying the VO's IdP. The attribute assertion that the portal gets from the VO can't be delegated since it isn't associated with the authentication assertion. The application does not have a notion of federation with the COmanage platform itself. In the future, it could make sense to establish a federation of services associated with the COmanage platform.
Wiki Markup
*Grouper and COmanage*
Benn plans to integrate Grouper 1.6, with its user interface, into COmanage. It was noted that Grouper 1.6 has web service support for permission management, but not a UI for permission management. The Grouper Team is waiting for a use case to develop the UI for permission management.
...
It could be helpful to provide guidelines on how VOs should define their namespaces and handle authority/releasing of attributes, and define a WAYF. Heather will raise this as a discussion topic for the next meeting with Niels.
Wiki Markup
Ken noted that given the substantial traction of Grouper in the UK and the fact that a fair number of VOs will have bases in the UK, it would be helpful to initiate discussion on collaboration platforms.
