Extensions to the interop scenario and progress being made (was RE:[saml-dev] saml interop participation)

Title: Message

CrossLogix proposed, in writing, an extension to 
include authz decision assertions in the interop; however, there was very little 
response to that scenario. We feel that the interop should show more than just 
the browser artifact. We also do not want to demonstrate this alone, as that 
would be counter to the goal of the interop. We need a vocal consensus on 
whether companies are supportive of extending the scenario to include 
authorization as long as it is used to show interoperability between different 
vendors. With this support we can refine the proposal with your suggestions and 
I hope other vendors will step forward and agree to interoperate as consumer, 
producers or both of authz decisions. CrossLogix is committed to doing 
both.

 

There 
was a question raised before of are we getting everything out of this event that 
SAML needs in order to promote it as a success and have those outside the SAML 
community invest in supporting the standard? Based on discussions, the slow 
progress we are making in organizing for this event, and the directions 
that some of the participants are going in that take this outside the scope of 
browser artifact, I would say no. However, that is something for the group as a 
whole to decide and I'd hope to see more proposals of how to accomplish 
this from the participants.

Simon,

 

Please note 
that at this point the demo consists only to the 

web browser artifact profile as 
described in the interop scenarios document.

Extensions 
are being discussed but there is no clear consensus on (1) 
the

exact 
scenario (2) companies who will interoperate in these 
extensions.
