UC Identity Management Conference Call - 9/17/2004 - Notes

Participants

Open Issues

We discussed the current set of open issues:
  1. Statements of policy and standards for organizational responsibilities; identification, registration, and authentication standards; log retention.
  2. Determination of appropriate authentication for UCFY/YBO.
  3. Implementation of appropriate authentication in UCFY/YBO.
  4. Method for sharing metadata about UC-only targets.
  5. logoutURL as a Shib attribute.  Jerry and Bruce need to do a feasibility assessment.
  6. InCommon membership.  UCOP and UCI have joined.  UCSD expects to to be a member of InCommon in 3-4 weeks.  [After the meeting, UCLA said that they have joined.]
  7. Problem resolution and other operational issues.
  8. Recommendations for improvements in the maintenance of UCnetIDs.
  9. Additional campuses.
  10. Enabling Shib access to library resources.  Campuses that are ready should contact their libraries to start enabling Shib access to CDL-licensed resources.  The CDL will facilitate the arrangements with the vendors.
  11. UCFY behavior when the user logs out of the campus portal.  This is a new issue for the group.  The desire is to have UCFY log the user out when the user logs out of the campus portal.  Unfortunately, Shibboleth does not (currently) have facilities to do this, although we believe the Internet2 group is looking into this, mainly because of the Sakai project.
The critical path items are the first three.  We tentatively set goals of the end of October to resolve the first two. at least for our pilot campuses, with production deployment after Open Enrollment in November (i.e., the beginning of December).

I will be distributing a revision of our project plan to reflect these tasks.
