Shibboleth Developer's Meeting, August 2, 2013

...

• Attribute Mapper configuration, done the Spring config. More to do (auto-sensing)
• Watching and appreciating the authn work
• Starting to look at next up.
• Question:
  1. Schema validation in Spring parsers
     • Was always on in V2
     • I believe that it needs to be on in V3 to make users' lives easier
     • It has always been off in V3 (a single code line in idp-core:net.shibboleth.idp.spring.SchemaTypeAwareXMLBeanDefinitionReader)
     • Changing this breaks a few gazillion tests, but they are easy to fix.  Should we?
  2. CheckStyleRules.  
     • Many of us hate checking in non check style clean code
     • Others (particularly much less recently less so).
     • There are cases where the rule is just plane silly in that instance, there are cases where it makes the code less readable in that instance.  Three options, each have their proponents, we need to discuss
       
       1. Relax the rule
       2. Leave the checkin with a warning
       3. Some middle ground.

Spent last couple of weeks working on authentication design, APIs, and individual actions, updating the code already written and adding unit tests. Code for IP Address and REMOTE_USER authentication is done, one last bit left on JAAS password validation.

Daniel probably should take on the LDAP authentication action, and we should do a Kerberos action just so we have one that supports service ticket validation.

Will be building web flow files for these cases and then testing them with Brent's web testbed, probably next week.

Taking a week off was good, I was aiming for off-line but read-only was great.
