Shibboleth Developer's Meeting, October 04, 2013

...

60 to 90 minute call window.

Brent

• Finished (mostly) the refactoring of existing metadata providers to new MetadataResolver API. Outstanding is providing support for Predicates and associated filtering Iterable in a way similar to the v2 CredentialResolvers.
• Worked on closing out a bunch of low-hanging-fruit issues for java-support.
• Worked on guts of abstract dynamic metadata resolver, going ok.  Hope to have some working concrete implementation(s) soon.  Will address some detailed technical issues on dev list.

Daniel 

• Added v2 support for ResultsCaching to the LDAP and RDBMS parsers.

Ian 

Rod

• Mostly travelling/vacation. 
• Refresh across the IdP's maven dependencies.
• Started playing with typing errors. Learnt so far:
  • Do not start the learning process at the bottom of the dependency stack!
  • Eclipse will find more errors than just -Xlink:unchecked.
  • The use of AttributeValue vs AttributeValue<?> is a mess.  This will require a wide ranging checkin when I get back from my travels.

Can the meeting get closure on Interfaces/BaseClass discussion, also which interfaces can now be renamed IdPXXXX ?

Scott 

Stable IdPSession and ServiceSession interfaces

Working implementation of a SessionManager/SessionResolver based on StorageService, continuing to add unit tests. Built in option to limit impact of storage errors, and enable/disable service session tracking/indexing.

Not sure we need a single-node in-memory version just to make it faster for people running one server

TODOs:

• SAML2ServiceSession extension class and serializer
• How to manage cookie capture of session ID in the server-side storage case? Inside or outside SessionManager/Resolver?
• How to manage cookie-based StorageService? Maybe a Java filter?
• Complete some of the stubbed out session-related profile actions (depends somewhat on the previous two bullets)
• Probably want at least two other storage back-ends ideally, JDBC and memcache maybe?

Confluence 5.3 is out, so need to test that. It apparently supports user account renames now.
