InCommon Operations Notifications

[Nick Roy <>]

Hello,

For many years, InCommon has supported a redirect from a very old
metadata download location:

http://wayf.incommonfederation.org/InCommon/InCommon-metadata.xml

And

https://wayf.incommonfederation.org/InCommon/InCommon-metadata.xml

To the current production (“main”) aggregate location:

http://md.incommon.org/InCommon/InCommon-metadata.xml

On January 31, 2018, InCommon Operations will REMOVE this redirect.

Before January 31, 2018, it is CRITICAL that all production metadata
clients be configured to fetch metadata from
http://md.incommon.org/InCommon/InCommon-metadata.xml.

If you currently fetch metadata from one of the old
(wayf.incommonfederation.org) locations noted above, you need to
reconfigure your deployment. Failure to do so will mean your IdP and/or
SPs WILL BREAK.

As of today, InCommon operations is still seeing approximately 10,000
metadata downloads via this legacy redirect, out of a total of
approximately 200,000 metadata fetch events (full and conditional GETs).

Please pass along this information to anyone in your organization who is
responsible for running an IdP or SP in InCommon, especially those such
as delegated administrators or other systems administrators who may not
be subscribed to this mailing list.

Thank you,

Nick Roy
