Attendees:

Brent

• JSSH-16: Update to Apache HttpClient 5.xClosed

  • Refactoring in progress. Large chunk of java-shib-shared done. Have to do a deeper dive into some changes around TLS.

Daniel

• IDP-1963: Update ldaptive to version 2 for IDP version 5Closed

Henri

• Offline today

Ian

• Spring Framework 6.0.0-RC2 and Spring Boot 3.0.0-RC1 are out. GA will be next month. No statement on SWF yet.

• MDA 0.10 in progress.

John

• Updating Amazon Linux images

• Fargate builder

Marvin

Phil

• RP docs and code cleanup

• Thinking about adding a keyset endpoint to the RP like the OP - a bit more involved than I thought, but perhaps should target this for v1?

• Thinking about dynamic registration - but not confident I could get that in place for v1.

• Thinking about UserInfo response formats - it can be either a plain JSON object or a JWT. Signalled by Content-Type header. But this could be manipulated, not sure this is much of a problem but I have added a setting to force JWT types only (off by default so supports either).

• Fixed up the assembly, so can be installed as a plugin to a running IdP - tested it with a fresh plugin build and sign of the commons lib.
