DISCUSSION

COmanage Demo 

• Steven is now able to login to the COmanage demo https://demo.co.internet2.edu/gears/

• Steven worked on the Discovery Service issue.

• Brown is now releasing attributes.

• Steven will do more exploration and investigation of the demo and provide feedback.

• Also, Benn will give Danno permission to log into the COmanage demo

COmanage GENI Demo

• Heather: What we’ve been doing with the demo is straightforward

• Q: Is this general demo sufficient for the needs of GENI, or is GENI  looking for something more specialized/customized?

• Steven: let’s start w a general demo and then listen carefully

• Tom Mitchell is working towards a demo for the GENI meeting, July 26-29, 2011 in Chicago

• For the GENI demo Stage One, the plan is:

• ability to do federated login to a portal

• behind portal should be ability to store info about people and assign them privileges

• embedded in the portal should be some ability to access things in GENI

• embedded in the portal should be some of the CIlogon code

• This Stage One GENI demo is similar to the software that Benn has built

• Possible Stage Two for GENI:

• Stand up a second instance representing a project that wants to use GENI

• This would involve reconfiguring Shib in front of the GENI portal

• So involved communication with another CO regarding group memberships and permissions

[AI] (Heather) will schedule the GENI demo.

Steven has been communicating with JohnK regarding getting GENI into InCommon as a member

IPlant and IRODS

• An email from Nirav mentioned working with IRODS to build interfaces for user data management

[AI] (Heather) will talk to Nirav regarding COmanage involvement with iPlant and IRODS

• Based on Nirav's email Steven has questions on iPlant's planned use of Shibboleth
• Assuming iPlant will run their own IdP,  if a member of IPlant has a federated identity, can that be used?
• Is the plan to Shib-enable IRODS or to have the iPlant portal log into IRODS as a known super-user?

[AI] (Steven) will extend his inquiry on iPlant and Shibboleth to Nirav

Social to SAML

• Ken stated that Social to SAML could be of interest to iPlant
• There is a need to discuss how to approach Social to SAML and how to integrate it w COmanage. 

Discussions with NSF at SMM

• Nirav will be a member meeting 

• NSF Representatives will be at SMM

[AI] (Heather) will work on arranging a meeting with NSF people during SMM

Code Update (Benn)

• Demo server has been updated with extended attributes so it is possible to add per-CO attributes to the database without doing special coding.
• Next major coding project involves updating the enrolling/ onboarding
• [AI] (Benn) will create a design draft for COmanage enrollment / onboarding and circulate it to the group

Involving a Broader Group in Discussion (Ken)

• Should we involve a larger group in COmanage discussions on a periodic basis, to be sure we are putting together all angles, including Shib and provisioning, etc.?   Incorporate some of what the Moonshot people are doing?

• Could include the application issues, separate from some gears work
• Harness around a group of people, who have primary activities elsewhere, and see if we are on the same page

• Benn noted that he is plugged into the provisioning discussions that are ongoing
• COmanage is a natural point of integration for many new things being developed.
• One approach would be to make the COmanage roadmap more public and invite comment.
• Ken: Are we going to go beyond the kit approach, looking at a more turnkey approach?
• Will there be a COmanage service offering? 
• Benn: a few months back, we had talked about integration services consulting arm.... maybe we need to push that along
• How is LIGO deploying COmanage? Can we document that?

[AI] (Heather) will schedule a call with Keith to discuss various issues, including creating a written record of ScottK's COmanage / LIGO work.

Terminology

• Ken noted there are still some needs for more precise terminology.
• Heather will work on terminology and report back to the group.

Next Call: Friday, April 15,  2pm ET
