Shibboleth Developers

Here is the revised/edited version  of the Phase One items:

1) support for htaccess-style access control. This would allow the 
local  administrator to create access control policy, on a per 
directory basis. Directives  would be the  same  as those supported 
by the unix/apache version of the shibboleth target (including the 
new AND directive). The rules would be maintained using (see Q 
below)?. The policy file for a directory (the set of rules) would be 
stored as a text file in the directory itself.

2) Integrate support for managing the shib configuration into the 
standard IIS management GUI. Currently, the Shib target configuration 
files are managed by editing text files. The task is to create a 
library and property pages that implement the IIS management COM 
interfaces, appearing within the IIS console, and possibly also 
storing some config data in the IIS metabase.

3) Improved installer package. The additional work would be doing web 
server configuration stuff during install and possibly prompting for 
more information, generating keys/certs, etc.

4) IIS 6 testing. Install and the test the Shib target package with 
IIS 6. Make any required changes to get the package, and the 
installation process, to work successfully. Identify any changes that 
are needed to the Deploy Guide.(I think there may be some problems 
with the new isolation mode in W2K3)

--- Outstanding Questions --------

1) should the htaccess rules be maintained by a text editor, or GUI tool?

2) Would implementing "possibly also storing some config data in the 
IIS metabase" require any changes to the shib target (ie the routines 
that read info from the shib config files?)
