Re: [saml-dev] SAML InterOp one pager and Slide Set
Prateek,

Questions and comments.

Do we want to mention WS-Security in this presentation? It would seem
to me to beg the question "What is WS-Security", which I don't think we
are answering (and shouldn't). We should have an answer for anyone that
asks, but it just seemed out of place to me.

The Agenda should say  "SAML Interop Details" or something similar
rather than "Interop Flows", as it represents many slides that describe
the demo.

On slide 3 where we say what SAML is it seems less tangent than the
"SAML is NOT" slide bullets.

Rather than WS-Security on slide 4 should we mention some of the other
profiles? That seems more appropriate to me.

I wonder if the order might be better if it was:

- SAML is...

- SAML is NOT...

- SAML Profiles

On slide 6 it says that several products are available today, but won't
this confuse people when the standard is not yet "complete"? Maybe just
me :-)

On slide 7 is it appropriate to say that each vendor implements web
browser profile?

Slide 10, the "Flows" slide seems like it would be better after "SAML
Interop Details" and before "Types of Interop Sites". What about adding
a box showing the user in the flow? Also, will it be clear to people that
the username and password are inputs provided during the "Authenticate
(out of band)" step?

We are using Interop, Demonstration and Demo. Maybe we should use just
one of those terms?

"Signon" on slide 11 should be two words. I might even change that first
bullet to "Sign on to any portal".

On slide 13 it seems like the wording on the second sub-bullet need
to be fixed. Possibly "...can be used at portal or content sites"

My understanding was that this preso would run continuously on a table
somewhere, though I don't remember asking anyone to provide a machine.
We discussed it being 10 minutes long, but it shouldn't be any longer in
my opinion. Who is going to put this preso into that form? I would be happy
to do it. There are a few more tiny edits I'd do like making the boxes
on slide 10 the same size and cosmetic stuff like that.

Enclosed
are a revised SAML one pager and a set of slides for the InterOp.I
have used some of Hal's slides and added materials from the one pager.Please
comment. We probably need to finalize latest by mid-week.Dee, (1)
does the one pager need to use some OASIS signage?(2)
Who will print copies of the one pager? We should havea
100 copies or so made up.(3)
Can we make the slide set available from some URL (I guesswe
could publish it on the SSTC web page)?Thanks,prateek
