AARC-G062G069A specification for hinting which discovery service to useGuidelines for expressing group membership and role informationThis document provides guidelines for expressing Community User Identifiers (CUIDs) such that the identifier values can be transported in an interoperable way across AARC Blueprint Architecture (BPA) compliant Authentication & Authorisation Infrastructures (AAIs). The CUID is a subject identifier, where the subjects are generally but not exclusively natural persons. The community user identifier is an attribute of the subject’s digital identity which is managed by the Community AAI. This Community Identity typically includes additional attributes such as profile information, group membership and role information. The guidelines specify how the CUID is communicated from the Community AAI to its connected services, i.e. infrastructure services (accessible through Infrastructure Proxies), generic and community services. This specification imposes requirements that must be implemented by the Community AAI and the Infrastructure Proxy. These requirements may serve as best practices for other services. Will supersede AARC-G002

AARC-G069G063Guidelines for expressing group membership and role informationA specification for providing information about an end service to a Discovery ServiceThis document defines a generic browser-based protocol for services to convey information about themselves to the IdPs or IdP-SP-proxies that will be used for authenticating the principal. This protocol can improve the trust of a user that authenticates to the right service, by making the actual authentication process more transparent.This document provides guidelines for expressing group membership and role information.

AARC-G059Guidelines for expressing affiliation informationThe goal of this document is to define how affiliation information should be expressed when transported across AARC BPA-compliant AAIs. Two different types of affiliation have been identified, namely Affiliation within the Home Organisation, such as a university, research institution or private company; and Affiliation within the Community, such as cross-organisation collaborations. Both affiliation types should be communicated to the service providers that rely on affiliation information in order to control access to resources. Will supersede AARC-G025Google doc

AARC-G056AARC profile for expressing community identity attributesThis document defines a profile for expressing the attributes of a researcher’s digital identity. The profile contains a common list of attributes and definitions based on existing standards and best practises in research & education. The attributes include identifiers, profile information, and community attributes such as group membership and role information.Google doc

AARC-G052OpenID Connect/OAuth2 token-based access across different infrastructuresThere are use cases requiring a service agent to be able to act autonomously, on behalf of the user, consuming services and resources. If the services consumed by the agent are behind the same proxy, the AARC BPA works. However, when an agent running on one service needs to access resources on another service which is connected by a different proxy, then there is no straight-forward solution at the moment. So, currently, services need to trust the same proxy to support those use cases. The document specifies an extension to the OAuth2 Token Introspection meant to be a temporary measure until the OIDC Federation Specification is widely available.Google doc

(was AARC2-JRA1.2B)

Best practices for integrating OpenID Connect / OAuth2 based end services

Capture what OIDC-based services need to understand, which schemes to follow in order to benefit from federated identities, that currently are exclusively in the SAML world.

This will probably include pointers to documents that specify mappings between SAML and OIDC expression of attributes, entitlements or claims.

OIDC/OAuth2 client registration is covered in AARC-G032

Roles, responsibilities and security considerations for VOs

DROPPED. Most of the content is now in DJRA1.3; it was proposed to gather the remaining information into a document describing how roles and the requirements on roles be managed (e.g. "there must always be a security contact"); however, we have decided that we will not have enough time to do justice to the topic.

Virtual Organisations (VOs) have several roles and responsibilities; some are identified as community responsibilities, and others arise from relations to infrastructures (e.g. security contact, technical contact). Can we minimise the number of places that need this information, in order to improve maintainability and scalability?

Requirements and Implementations for Authentication Freshness

(was: Guidelines for step-up authentication via forced reauthentication)

This document describes mechanisms for forcing a user to perform an additional login (reauthentication) in order to ensure that the user who is accessing a protected resource is the same person who initially authenticated at the start of the session. Forced reauthentication can therefore provide additional protection for sensitive resources.

AARC2-JRA1.4DGuidelines for implementing, operating and using VO platforms

it was suggested this incorporate anything from JRA1.4A not included in DJRA1.3 plus guidance on evaluating and selecting a proxy platform. However, as we have too many documents already and not enough time to do them justice, JRA1 have decided to drop this document.  However, EOSC Hub is currently (as of March 2019) putting together an evaluation form.

It was suggested at the F2F in April 2019 that this document be resurrected?
