Hi Marco 1. I agree that a discovery service is needed somewhere in the federation architecture. But the discovery service should be independent of the endpoint URL that is used to access OpenStack services via Keystone. It is not a good design to mix up these two aspects, which appears to have be

Hi David, in principle I agree with your comments. The current design mixes different aspect up and it is not manageable when the number of IdPs get bigger, like in the case you should allow access from users in a country federation, especially compared to other tools supporting identity federatio

Hi Marco I think the current design is wrong because it is mixing up access control with service endpoint location. The endpoint of a service should be independent of the access control rules determining who can contact the service. Any entity should be able to contact a service endpoint (subject

Hi John, the problem is not to establish which variable has the correct information but the association between IDP and URL. In OS-Federation you define an authentication URL per IDP and protocol and it is supposed to use the specified IDP and protocol for authenticate. Nevertheless, during the

If I understand the bug fix correctly, it is firmly tying the URL to the IDP to the mapping rule. But I think this is going in the wrong direction for several reasons: 1. With Shibboleth, if you use a WAYF service, then anyone from hundreds of different federated IDPs may end up being used to auth

Can't this be solved with a couple of environment variables? The two keys pieces of information needed are: 1) who authenticated the subject? 2) what authentication method was used? There is already precedence for AUTH_TYPE, it's used in AJP to initialize the authType property in a Java Servelet

Hi All, this bug was already reported and fixed in two steps: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ossn/+bug/1390124 The first step is in the documentation. There should be also an OSS advice for previous version of OpenStack. The solution consist in configuring shibboleth to use different IdPs for di
