Shibboleth Developers

["Rod Widdowson" <>]

I have converted the multi-federation WAYF to use the TP2 release of the
OpenSAML2  library and made a branch (called Test_OpenSAML_TP2) with this
code available on SVN.    We have taken this opportunity to clean up the
layout of the project (thanks Chad) but building and deploying this WAYF is
pretty much as it was previously and the Wiki entry at
https://authdev.it.ohio-state.edu/twiki/bin/view/Shibboleth/DiscoveryService
should cover any differences.

As part of the move I have removed support for non SAML format  (Shib
version 1.2 and earlier) Metadata.

The actual WAYF code is substantially unchanged from that which was
previously at the head of CVS.  However the OpenSAML2 library that it is
shipped with is still a Technology Preview and you should bear in mind the
caution that comes with it:

> As always, this release should not be used in production systems but is
> meant to give an understanding of the library that we are developing.
> The APIs available in this release are fairly stable but may change
> as we continue development.

I will be tracking any changes in the libraries and keeping this WAYF to
date, however please do not use this in a production system unless you
really understand the risks you are taking.

Please feel free contact me for more info, and do let me know (via Bugzilla)
of any issues that you have in deploying this.

Thanks
