<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Howdy,<br><br></div>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).<br><br></div><div>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)?<br><br></div><div>Just trying to figure out the best way to proceed, so any advice would be appreciated. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,<br><br></div><div>James<br></div><div><div><div><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><p style="line-height:1;margin-top:3.6pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:19px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline">James Miller<br></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1;margin-top:3.6pt;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-left:27pt"><span style="font-size:37px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline"></span></p><p style="line-height:1;margin-top:3.6pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:19px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline">Database Engineer</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1;margin-top:3.6pt;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-left:27pt"><span style="font-size:19px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline"></span></p><p style="line-height:1;margin-top:3.6pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:19px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline">Turnitin – </span><a href="http://www.turnitin.com" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:19px;font-family:Arial;color:#0000ff;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;vertical-align:baseline">www.turnitin.com</span></a><span style="font-size:37px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline"></span></p><p style="line-height:1;margin-top:3.6pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><a href="mailto:jdoe@turnitin.com" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:19px;font-family:Arial;color:#0000ff;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;vertical-align:baseline">jmiller@turnitin.com</span></a><span style="font-size:37px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline"></span></p><span style="font-size:19px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline">510.387.5071</span></div></div>
