Notes of Previous Meeting ShibGridMtg9Mar
To note:
- David Meredith is in this group, working on a shibbolized portal, but based at
Daresbury. Line manager Andy Richards. Action Mat to find out how much time he will spend on this work.
- David should be invited to project AG meetings.
- Credential lifetimes is a complex issue. Shib credentials are typically one-hour long; poor match for multiple-day proxy certs. etc. The mapping must clearly be subject to some policy. Where does that policy sit? Is it up to the SP to decide? What is Manchester's view? More research is needed.
- IB requirements: IB has a portalusing mod_shib Apache plug-in.
Action: David to contact Matthew Mascord to find out more.
-- David done work on MyProxy shibbolized proxy upload
establised semi-production IdP at RAL
arch document describes attributes and how they turn in to attributes at DN
Action on Kang: IdP in Oxofrd.
- does it issue the same attributes
- (do names need changing?) could set up simple version for project
- not in scope to sort out properly.

no need to talk to Rob. David Meredith is in this group, but based at Daresbury. Line manager Andy Richards. Action Mat to find out how much time to spend on this work.
