AGENDA

1. Update on contracting proposals

Attendees:

Brent

• https://shibboleth.atlassian.net/browse/JSSH-56

  • Confirm thread pool behavior, per Scott.

  • Assuming looks OK, will do Spring parsers, etc.

• https://shibboleth.atlassian.net/browse/JSATTR-6

  • Some progress made, still hoping to be functionally complete in a couple of weeks.

Daniel

Henri

• Absent today

• https://shibboleth.atlassian.net/browse/JOIDC-222

  • First more or less functional implementation for automatic registration in the authorize-flow

    • The RP metadata is fetched via oidfed trust chains and metadata gets stored via ClientInformationManager

      • Same method is used in the dynamic client registration flow - the RP records are stored server-side via configurable storage service

      • With automatic registration we should also provide means to avoid this server-side state (client secrets are never involved)

  • Test deployment plugged to the GEANT testbed - successful automatic registration of a test RP

  • Other upcoming work items:

    • Revisit our metadata policy implementation (in oidc-common)

      • It was done against much older oidfed-spec draft - the section in the spec has been reworked

    • Trust Marks

    • Explicit registration flow (i.e. oidfed-aware dynamic client registration flow)

Ian

• RHEL 10 beta is out. I have set up an instance in the usual way (r10a via the jump host, accepts any iay.org.uk users) for investigation.

  • GA expected some time in the first half of 2025.

  • x86-64-v3!

  • Wayland, if you care.

  • “modules” no longer used in the packaging system. Good.

  • GCC 14.2.

  • Default version of Java is OpenJDK 21.

  • See https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/10-beta/

• Spring Framework 6.1.15 and 6.2.0 are out. Just jump to the latter?

John

• Bumped AL2/2023, RHEL8/9 images

• https://shibboleth.atlassian.net/browse/SSPCPP-999

  • Planning to focus mainly on RHEL 7

• Rocky 9.4 aarch64 EC2 instance bricked after updating kernel to 5.14.0-427.40.1

  • Somebody was able to reproduce and extract console info

  • Looks like it might be region-dependent

Marvin

Phil

• https://shibboleth.atlassian.net/browse/IDP-2339

  • Added a per-flow session version to a dev branch dev/IDP-2339.

    • Old (per-view) or new (per-flow) configurable by a new property. Defaulting to per-flow for now.

• Finished feature tweaking to the WebAuth plugin, RC3 will be announced next week. Version 1 the week after.

  • Hasn’t been a very stable RC so far. But more feedback which I wanted to address before version 1.

• Was asked by Judith to help present the (now usual) FedCM update at TechEx.

Rod

• Jetty 12.1.0 and 12.0.15

• Windows build and test environment for new SP agents

Scott

• Continued tear down on SP code base

• Review of Boost unit testing framework

• Work on some small unit tests for Boost property tree XML feature

  • UTF-8 appears to parse even on Windows where the default locale probably isn’t that.

• Prepping slides for TechEx

Tom

• FYI “Sonatype will officially sunset its Nexus Repository 2 product on June 30, 2025”

  • Not really interested in upgrading to Nexus 3 because it is database-backed

  • Plan on looking at other file-based hopefully simple alternatives

• Still working on Jetty Plugin support in the integration tests

• TODO : Improve handling of invalid consent records

• TODO : OP Conformance suite logout tests
