Pre-eduGain integration stopgap measures

[James Miller]

Howdy,

We have a customer in Australia who is interested in implementing
shibboleth and using it to authenticate with our service. They are not
currently a member of any federation. It appears the AAF federation in
Australia is an eduGAIN member, but they are not yet exporting their
metadata for the consumption of other federation (though from what their
website tells me, they'll be seeking funding to implement that next year).

We don't necessarily want to wait until the AAF is fully plugged into
eduGAIN, but we would also like to avoid joining another federation if
possible. As a stopgap measure, if they joined AAF and we imported the
metadata for that federation into our SP and they imported the metadata
from one of the federations we are a member of into their IDP, would that
work (It seems like it would to me)? Would it be against the rules (it
seems shady to import metadata of a federation you're not a member of)?

Just trying to figure out the best way to proceed, so any advice would be
appreciated.

Thanks,

James
