Description
This work package continues the work on IdP discovery as it was started in GN4-2 in the eduTEAMS and IdP Discovery subtask. It gathers requirements, and works with the RA21 initiative towards an implementation that can become a service in the GEANT project. At the same time it helps handing over the existing eduTEAM Discovery Service to the new (GN4-3 WP5 T1) eduGAIN service.
Pilot goals

There are two primary goals:

  • Handover/transition the eduTEAM Discovery Service from the eduTEAM realm to Davide's eduGAIN service. Achieving this goal is considered done and successful when the discovery service is either officially accepted (according to the GEANT PLM) as component of the eduGAIN service or if it is considered as independent GÉANT service. The first option is probably more suitable and therefore preferred. This should be achieved before the end of the first incubator cycle (summer 2019).
  • Continue work on RA21. In particular:
    • Review and provide inputs on the RA21 work from GÉANT's point of view.

Earlier discussion from Licia:

"Dear all,

Last week in Milan I had a chat with Slavek about CESNET discovery
service. We agreed that we it would make more sense to look at a
discovery service in the context of eduGAIN.

Slavek and I agreed that the current pilot with CESNET service was not
really advertised so it's difficult to gather inputs on the satisfaction
of the services that used it. In agreement with Marina, we will fund
another pilot with CESNET discovery with defined goals where we will ask
for inputs and/or requests for new features. The pilot will have a
limited duration of about 6 months. The pilot, in agreement with Niels,
should go under the incubator and after the defined period we should
assess the usability and satisfaction and see which features should be
implemented. We have planned a similar pilot also for RA21.

I will ping Slavek privately to define further details."

Business case

What is the business case for this Incubator project? Who would be customers of this solution and what would potential business case look like?

The long term goal of this pilot is to contribute to a state-of-the-art, userfriendly, SAML2-compliant default IdP Discovery Service that eduGAIN Service Providers can use (alternatively to operating their own Discovery Service or rely on a federation-specific one). The Discovery Service can be either of these:

  • fully operated by the RA21 interest group that GEANT is a prominent member of
  • using a custom (GEANT/eduGAIN-branded) front-end of the RA21 service 
  • independent Discovery Service (e.g. the CESNET implementation) that interacts with the RA21 service via their API

Part of the work of this pilot will identify the best approach of the above.


Data protection & Privacy

The eduTEAMS Discovery service (to be renamed and moved) already has a Privacy Policy. Its implementation (by CESNET) is already very privacy aware compared to other discovery service implementations.


Sustainability

Most likely, the RA21 work continued in this cycle will not be complete. Ideally, this cycle is followed by another cycle with similar staff member and a better understanding of the RA21 service.
