Title: RSA SAML Interop 2005 Conference Call Minutes - Jan 19 2005

Bob, a 
couple of comments...

 

Regarding your comments on section 3.2 item 8. I think that either the 
section is wrong or your comments are incorrect. Item 8 in section 3.2 talks 
about the step of doing another login after the federation. So there should be 
no contention on this. The idea is that the user federated their identify 
between the SP and IDP (so they had to login in to the IDP and then SP to 
complete this). Now that they logged out (item 7), they should be able to do the 
use case again (i.e., item 1). However, this time after they go thru the steps 
(and log in at the IDP), they will notice that they do NOT need to log in at the 
SP (i.e., the federation has worked).

 

The 
oen item we discussed, which pertains to whether a user logs into the SP or IDP 
first, is in terms of the federation use case. I.e., to start federation 
(assuming the user is at the SP screen), should the user log into the SP first 
and selects and IDP to federate with, then they log into the IDP. Or should 
the flow be: log into the IDP first, then the SP. Most were saying the IDP log 
in should be first. I believe Adam was proposing the SP first. It would be 
simpler if we just used one flow. Personally it does not matter to 
me.

 

Regarding your comments on Section 6, item 3. I would suggest that we 
have only ONE starting point for the optional case. I.e., you start at the SP 
only. Your comment suggests that we can start at the IDP as well. I.e., send an 
unsolicited <Response> for federation. What do others think? If we do this 
as well, the guidelines will need to be updated to reflect this. As of now, it 
implied an SP only starting point. If we only start from the SP, then the IDP 
(after a user logs in) would only have a single list of SPs (for the base case). 
Thoughts?

 

 

Tom.
