Shibboleth Developers

I read through it, and everything there looked good to me.

One additional thing I thought might be nice would be an extension of the 
assertion exporting mechanism in the Shibboleth SP.  The current method for 
exporting the entire SAML Assertion is nice and has been an excellent method 
for getting around the 8K barrier that crops all over the place (AJP, 
mod_proxy, IIS, etc.).  We have used that extensively in our federation, 
since we transmit very large SAML Assertions (well over 8K, and frequently 
over 20K).  The feature that I thought might be nice would be an additional 
feature called attribute exporting, where each attribute is exported as a URL 
for querying instead of as a value (this could either be done in bulk or on 
an individual attribute basis).  This way if a single attribute could be 
larger than 8K there would be a means to get it without either parsing the 
full SAML Assertion or relying on the environment to be able to handle larger 
than 8K.

The additional authentication support on the IdP portion of the Roadmap looks 
very promising, and I am excited to see how that progresses.

Subject: [Shib-Dev] seeking feedback on Shibboleth 2.2 Roadmap

The Shibboleth team has made available its current thinking about the
next point release of the Shibboleth software. This information is
available at:

https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/SHIB2/Shibboleth+2.2+Roadmap

The team is seeking comments and feedback. The first section of the
document identifies specific functionality, and the priorities
currently assigned by the team. The second section describes several
areas where we are seeking community input before possibly beginning
any implementation effort. Note that there are two sub-pages
providing additional detail: one on Consent Release of Attributes,
and one on Information Card Support.

Please send your comments to the shibboleth-dev AT internet2.edu
mailing list. Directions for subscribing to this list are available

The Shibboleth team would like to thank the community for its
contributions, comments, and feedback over the years. Please let us
know what you think of our current plans.
