2. Board updates

3. (Brent) Zoom AI features?

Attendees:

Brent

• JSATTR-6: SAML AttributeQuery DataConnectorOpen

  • Just before leaving on winter break ran into a (hopefully minor) problem with adding Assertion validation. Existing code is built on use of ProfileRequestContext. Hopefully can just widen that to InOutOperationContext, which should fit this new use case.

Daniel

• Nothing to report

Henri

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

  • Current status for automatic registration PoC in the authorization endpoint

    • Trust chain resolution via metadata caches

    • Selection of the shortest local policy -compliant trust chain (via customizable function)

      • Trust Mark requirements may be configured on per Trust Anchor basis (OIDFED.AutomaticRegistration profile)

    • Metadata is currently stored via similar StorageService-backed ClientInformationManager as in dynamic client registration

      • Currently finishing PoC on an alternative that avoids storage by basing on metadata caches on all endpoints

        • Authorization code and access/refresh token claims sets carry the selected trust chain

  • Other work items:

    • Metadata policy handling

      • Null handling, minor operator changes (add/value at least), order of custom operators

    • Explicit registration - especially if considered important by community

    • Federation policy constraints

    • Test automation - my local tests currently exploits GEANT testbed
