Subject: RE: [security-services] Proposal made to WSFED TC involving SAML metadata

Yes, I've seen a few iterations of it, and have discussed some of the alternative schema formulations with Don. There are always multiple ways of doing things, and I think the principal need from the SSTC (apart from vocal support) is feedback as to how best to achieve WS-Federation goals while also making life easy for existing implementations. > Can we spend a few moments on the next SSTC call > discussing ways to ensure that the SAML metadata spec is fully prepared for > this kind of referencing, and any related harmonization issues/comments? My feedback to Don has been that there are some relatively minor errata to SAML2Meta that would be useful to clarify the intent for reuse of some existing constructs, some of which have already been reused by both official and unofficial profiles, one of which is an OASIS standard [1]. Any objections that I could imagine, which are non-technical, have already been trumped by our own past extension work. -- Scott [1] http://wiki.oasis-open.org/security/SstcSaml1xMetadata
