[Openid-specs-fastfed] FastFed Meeting Notes, March 2 2017

[Emily Xu]

Hi Darin,

When do you think you can share “an overview of the problem statement and use cases”? Sorry for asking since I could not find it from anywhere else.

Thanks,
Emily

(Apologies if I get anyone’s name wrong. Was copying from the GoToMeeting usernames.)

Meeting opened with general discussion about next steps.

·         What problems are we trying solve?

·         Knowing which use cases are in/out would be helpful.

·         For newcomers, looking for information on the WG but what was found so far was a presentation (From IIW) and some meeting minutes. Are there more documents? (Dick: there aren’t today)

Dick proposed writing a draft spec in order to drive the discussion forward. Suggested Darin McAdams to draft the first iteration. Asked for concerns; none raised.
To confirm alignment, before writing the draft, Darin will share an overview of the problem statement and use cases. If there is contention on the direction, an earlier meeting will be scheduled on demand. If no contention on the use cases, the draft will proceed and be published by April 14 to give time for members to review before next IIW.

There was preliminary discussion about the scope of the draft.

·         Dick – start with metadata and sign on, getting data from idp to rpm, your basic setup. There will be a need for more advanced things around provisioning and stuff like that, but we shouldn’t let that complexity block us from solving the SSO portion upfront. Once we get people along the path, we get continue to more things. But, lots of value in getting started down that path.

·         Prateek – Enabling SSO is right and part of it. Let’s definitely get SSO out of the way. Make that a little lighter. Hoping for additional guidance and encouragement on provisioning flows. Not the details, more of a model, pick choice A or choice B. Not opposed to knocking of SSO; we know that is relatively structured. But, a lot of the story at the next layer is “what is the information model that relates identities at both the endpoints and how that gets exchanged to the extend it needs to be exchanged. That’s the part we find quite difficult. What we see happening is that people will pick up a whole bunch of stuff from OIDC, OAuth, slug of SCIM, shove it all together in interesting way, and then bring it to us. Would be awesome if we could point them at a template that would be useful for them.

Who will be at IIW?

·         Emily, Mortrza, Dick, Darin.  (Apologies if I missed anyone)
