>> The OIDC work that is happening connected to us is a GEANT-funded project being worked on by a Finnish group with design help from us and that we hope becomes at least a first order extension if not eventually something we can add to the core through the addition of more permanent contributors to support it. We have no direct control over how much public development or design conversations takes place but you're not missing anything that isn't on this list aside from relatively uninteresting discussions we've had reviewing the libraries they chose to use and the implications on the rest of the code base.
>> It is historically like pulling teeth to get people to stop discussing design issues in private threads and such, but this is where it happens, if it happens.
With the reference to geant shib oidc - project, https://github.com/CSCfi/shibboleth-idp-oidc-extension
We are usually alerted if something related to our work is mentioned on this list. However, at least until now, we have mainly worked together with Henri as there seems to be no big design issues to deal with. To us it is more of understanding the existing design of Shibboleth IdP. Easiest way to follow our work is to run "vagrant up" and to see what the installation is already capable of. Anyone fluent with Shibboleth should get an idea where we are at by checking configuration files etc. Maybe that will bring design issues to solve for us and to be discussed on this list.
Even though the project may be used to setup a simple shib based OP for implicit flow, the extension is not even near to be released yet nor is the result a fully compliant OP.
