InCommon metadata support

["Jeffrey Ramsay" <>]

Hello:

We're up and running on Shibboleth V3 and have had our JVM heap set well 
above 1024 so, I think we're all set there. The only uncertainty at the 
moment is what we need to do to be prepared for the new aggregate. Our 
production system is discoverable, don't have unneeded certificates in our 
IdP metadata, contact information is up to date, a reasonable default 
attribute release policy and we refresh InCommon metadata daily.

I'm not sure what / if anything else we need to do. I've been browsing the 
site for weeks and have come across information regarding Refresh and signing 
policies which differ from our current configuration. Should we update our 
system or not -- this is the source of the confusion; for me, it has not been 
a specific article -- I'm not sure where I should stop reading. I just don't 
want our University to be affected because I was unprepared.

Lastly, concerning the Roadmap for eduGain - Phase two: will this be ready 
Wed or Friday which is January 15th.

-Jeff

Yes. In fact, the two pages are linked.

Can you tell me how you arrived at this conclusion? If there's documentation 
that suggests this, I probably need to fix it.

I'm not sure what page (or pages) you're looking at (besides the one 
referenced above) but there are two particular pages of interest:

1) Upgrading to Shib IdP V3: https://spaces.internet2.edu/x/GYtHBQ
2) Getting Ready for eduGAIN: https://spaces.internet2.edu/x/VASDBQ

If you have questions, let me know.

Thanks,

Tom
