Shibboleth Developers

[Nate Klingenstein <>]

Shib-dev,

Roland van Rijswijk gave a packed presentation on a two-factor  
authentication implementation by SURFnet that relies on QR codes read  
by mobile devices, supported on a number of common platforms.  PDF  
available below:

The only federated edition right now is an authentication mechanism  
for simpleSAMLphp.  There was intense interest amongst deployers in  
the room in having a Shibboleth edition developed and (preferably)  
included in the core distribution.

Since 2.3 is feature-complete and it's the last feature release of v2  
of the Shibboleth IdP, tiqr support will not be bundled in a v2.x IdP  
release.  Someone in the community could certainly still write and  
contribute an extension, though.  SURFnet has offered to make their  
developers available to help.

To both request and gauge interest in tiqr support for Shibboleth IdP  
v3, I've opened a new issue in the new JIRA.  If you're interested,  
you should watch the issue and communicate with your federation and  
favorite implementers to encourage the prioritization of this  
development work.

Hope someone's interested in doing this as an extension for v2.3,
Nate.
