SRCE operates a tool that regularly browses through the eduGAIN metadata and

  • checks that the elements asserting compliance to the Data protection Code of Conduct conform to the SAML2 metadata profile for the Data protection Code of Conduct
  • checks that the Privacy Policy referenced by mdui:PrivacyStatementURL resolves to a page which references the Data Protection Code of Conduct
  • archives the SP's Privacy Policy page for the audit trail
  • the ip address of the CoCo monitoring tool is 161.53.2.204
  • value of the User-Agent request header sent by CoCo monitor tool is "eduGAIN CoCo Monitor v1.0"

On-line interface:

The tool has an on-line interface in http://monitor.edugain.org/coco/

The tool uses following colours for SPs

JSON interface

The monitoring tool provides also a JSON feed on the monitoring results in http://monitor.edugain.org/coco/json.php

If called without parameters feed shows only "green" and "yellow" entities (entities with id_status=2 or id_status=3).

All entities can be fetched using query string parameter all_sps=true. Example: http://monitor.edugain.org/coco/json.php?all_sps=true

Specific entity can be fetched using query string parameter entityid=<URLENCODED_ENTITYID>. Example: http://monitor.edugain.org/coco/json.php?entityid=https%3A%2F%2Fwiki.edugain.org%2Fshibboleth

The table below describes the JSON feed. You can request particular attributes by enumerating their names in the query string. Example: http://monitor.edugain.org/coco/json.php?attributes=DisplayName;entityID
