Working Groups Report: Making Federation Easier



This IAM Online is all about identities and identity providers, with the
broad theme of making it easier for both campuses and individuals to
participate in the InCommon Federation. You will hear from the following
InCommon TAC work groups:



Alternative IdPs Working Group - This group has assessed in-house and
outsourced strategies for deploying an IdP (including a helpful decision
tree) and recommendations for future InCommon work as it strives to make
things easier for campus deployers. For more information, see
https://spaces.internet2.edu/x/oQLkAg



External Identities Working Group - This group is exploring how to make
external identities (e.g., from Google, Microsoft, or UnitedID) useful
and sufficiently trusted, as well as the potential to link an external
identity with a campus identity. They have looked at types of
identities, use cases, and issues to consider for those needing some
sort of external identity. See https://spaces.internet2.edu/x/-gTkAg



IdP of Last Resort Working Group - This group is exploring options for
those who are not represented by a campus IdP or whose IdP will not
release the necessary attributes. This group is documenting the
requirements for any potential IdP of Last Resort, develop case studies,
and explore tradeoffs between this concept and the use of external
identities. For more information: https://spaces.internet2.edu/x/iwvkAg



New Entities Working Group - This group is preparing for InCommon’s
participation with eduGAIN and interfederation. Operationalization of
eduGAIN will add IdPs and SPs that are members of other federations, and
some regional network operators would like to add new types of entities
(such as K-12) to the metadata. This group is exploring the policies and
practices needed in an interfederated world. More info:
