Marvin

Phil

• Commons 2.2.0 seems to work fine in a running IdP 4.2.0. So maybe we can leave the versions on that.

• JCOMOIDC-60: JWT class naming conventionClosed - Possibly done. Probably still a bit more on the OP side to check.

• JCOMOIDC-62: Create new credential type for client_secretClosed - I wanted to make this change before the RP was built.

• JCOMOIDC-61: A128CBC-HS256 Potentially returning the wrong keysizeClosed - I think these just need changing.

• Tracking down a bug. Which I believe is in the Nimbus code. Issue raised. Truncation issue in SecretKeyDerivation

• Bugs in the certification suite (not really that important):

  • Kid in JWE using Key Wrapping mode is unknown (#1157) · Issues · OpenID Foundation / conformance-suite · GitLab

  • Kid was not found in RequestObject header (#1156) · Issues · OpenID Foundation / conformance-suite · GitLab

Rod

• JMVN-47: Release maven-dist-enforcer 3.2.0Closed

  • Litmus test for the failure that provoked this is now the java-versions-set-nightly (currently failing)

• JMVN-45: Investigate building a parent pom with the minimum subset of JPARClosed

  • This is hideous and requires us to track the parent pom for ever. But its still less hideous than the alternative

  • Can we do more pruning?

• Other release in support of 4.3.0

• Started afresh on then @Nonnull battle.

Scott

• SP (xmltooling) patch to block CipherReference, and close a few small issues

• Back to IdP cleanup

  • Made some revisions to the Action API and some deferred changes to BaseContext in OpenSAML

  • Started adding some methods to address null issues

Tom

• per last call need to create JIRAs for the IdP installer to :

  • “warn” about updating plugins first before the IdP

  • “warn” about plugin collisions

  • “update” page for the IdP displaying whether the IdP and/or plugins have updates available

• will add our Maven snapshot repo to <pluginRepositories> in Jenkins agent settings.xml

  • might should use a git repo to store settings.xml and authorized_keys, etc.

    • consider using a script to check out the repo at instance launch

• link to creating Javadoc w/o using site, would probably need to script scp
