InCommon Operations Notifications

[Thomas Scavo <>]

You may have heard that InCommon is conducting a proof of concept for SIRTFI 
Federated Incident Response. For details, see "Proof of Concept for SIRTFI 
Federated Incident Response" in the September issue of the InCommon 
Newsletter. [1]

In conjunction with this proof of concept, we will adjust our metadata import 
policy rules [2] to allow the SIRTFI entity attribute to be imported from 
eduGAIN:

<mdattr:EntityAttributes 
xmlns:mdattr="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:metadata:attribute">
    <saml:Attribute xmlns:saml="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:assertion" 
Name="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:attribute:assurance-certification" 
NameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:uri">
        <saml:AttributeValue>https://refeds.org/sirtfi</saml:AttributeValue>
    </saml:Attribute>
</mdattr:EntityAttributes>

This entity attribute should have no immediate effect on InCommon IdP and SP 
deployments but we wanted to let you know this was happening in case these 
attributes showed up on your radar.

We intend to make this change to our import process TOMORROW (9/9) but if we 
run into any problems, it may be delayed until next week. If you have any 
questions or concerns, please contact us at
