- Scott: not much to highlight, mostly clarifications and editorial

- was one issue that came up in interop

    - Greg: byte order in encoding of artifact

    - implies big endian, but not explicit

    - Scott: thought he made change in latest bindings, but might not

      have

    - same was byte order ambiguity true of Format

- Rob: do you have any other outstanding edits?

- Scott: no

- Rob: has some editorial clean up he wants to do

- these are in addition to RSA's previous submission

 

>

>    (b) Conformance spec update:

>    - Prateek: Editorial Update to Section 3.3 of conformance

>

 

- Prateek: thread began with Thomas' question

- appears that intent is that SAML consumers be able to consume assns

  that have identifiers described in 8.2 - 8.4

- Rob: has issue with this direction

- don't see why a conformant implementation needs to accept and

  generate every single format

- Prateek: you only need to be able to syntactically generate them, but

  how you handle them behind the scenes is out of band

- there needs to be one configuration setting

- Scott: even less, you need only provide a plugin interface for dealing

  with each

- Irving: has issue with certifying one thing and shipping something

  different

- Scott: concerned about reopening similar old discussions, like

  support for persistence

- Conor: thinks we should have one Name ID Format that is required, and

  make the rest optional

- the existing approach only fits vendor products, but not a particular

  service

- Greg: thinks consumer should be required to accept all formats

- Rob: and do what with them?

- Greg: associate them with internally known identities

- [... discussion carries on ...]

- Rob: would support clarification that says conformant product provides

  extension interfaces to handle various formats

- Prateek: there is proposed text on the list, so Rob can take a shot at

  modifying that

 

 

- Rob: ok, now what about the Consent issue?

- ??: if we use the same approach, it will require a lot of work

  to provide user interface to obtain the consent from the user

- Rob: if my product only handles implied consent, I'll have to do a

  lot of work to deal with other types of consent

- Scott: doesn't see it that way, sees SAML as merely expressing the

  consent

- Scott: not going to push hard on this, because he doesn't really

  value the feature

- Prateek: tried to state that the means of obtaining the types of

  consent are out of scope

- maybe a clarification of that would be acceptable

- Rob: would like to see us relax on this

- 8.2 and 8.3 are ok, but this one we should back off on

- Conor: the whole reason this was in Liberty was that the Policy folks

  wanted a positive statement on the request

- Greg: they were all lawyers, btw

- Prateek: feels like an important part of the spec

- Nick: agrees, and has proposed in Liberty to test for this in their

  conformance

- Rob: so what do we do? one proposal was to remove the conformance

  requirement for this version of SAML

- [MOTION] Remove the reference to 8.4 from conformance, rendering it

  not MTI

- [VOTE] 9 for, 2 against, 10 abstain, therefore vote passes

- ??: everyone seems ok with 8.2, so conformant implementations must

  support URI attr names, but no attr profiles are MTI, correct?

- [yes]

>    (c) Other updates:

>    - Per 21-Dec con-call: We need to work on non-normative docs during

>      ballot period, and discuss them on 2005-01-11 focus call

>

 

- Eve: hasn't made any progress

 

>

>    - Groups - draft-saml1x-metadata-02.pdf uploaded

>

 

- Scott: no big changes

- we don't have rules for releasing something that isn't part of a

  spec release, so we'll need to talk about this later
