Jim,

I'd like a little more detail on the suggestion below.  Are you describing a standalone test SP and test IdP which would readily interact with anyone who knocked on their door, or that bilateral deployments be the default?  I'm very much in favor of the first approach if we can implement it -- i.e. we couldn't use attribute callback without metadata, and probably other things I haven't thought through -- and badly scarred by the second, which has the challenges of two unknown entities.

Nate.

Drop the WAYF and InQueue from the installation documentation.

They only complicate initial installs and are rarely, if ever,

used in real life.  Especially for beginners, point-to-point

authentication between an idp and an sp would be much simpler

to understand, configure and debug.  If someone wants to join a

federation (not InQueue please) later on - that upgrade is about

the easiest thing in shib-land to do.
