*Discussion*

There are two upcoming meetings of interest to the SALSA-NetAuth � FWNA Working Group:

- December 4-7, 2006: Internet2 Member Meeting, Chicago, IL
                   <http://events.internet2.edu/2006/fall-mm/index.html>

For the Internet2 Member Meeting, {Philippe} suggested a topic for the Working Group meeting on Wednesday morning � people are interested in testing, but they do not know how to join. A document would be helpful to them, offering help with RADIUS servers. {Kevin} suggested that item could be paired with the 802.1x session. [AI] {Philippe} will post the RADIUS configuration of servers into the FWNA wiki.

- February 11-17, 2007: Joint Techs, Minneapolis, Minn -
           <http://jointtechs.es.net/minnesota2007/index.html >

{Renee} forwarded an email with information on submitting proposals (cf. 16-Nov). {Kevin} suggested a forum or BoF for larger RADIUS-SAML integration. If you are interested in presenting, talk to {Kevin}.

{John} shared a document (cf. email 2-Nov) that he has been working on with respect to the RADIUS side. {Steve C.} said it was a useful document, but he still had a few questions regarding step 4 of the sequence. How will the NameIdentifier make sense to the appropriate parties? Could the presentation of that value be confidential via some mechanism? Who maintains the metadata with the URL of the attribute authority, and who is able to ascertain that it is correct? How do we handle RADIUS attributes so it is clear who one is referencing? It would be useful to change the NameIdentifier without changing the URL.

{Kevin} also asked {Steve C.] to explain how the metadata associated with R1, the key associated with R1, and the federation metadata are related, and how are they created?

{Steve C.} has made a few minor changes to his draft proposal, incorporating notes from the previous working group call <http://stc.cis.brown.edu/~stc/Projects/Projects-using-Shib/eduRoam/Radius-SAML-Profile-v1.html . He mentioned the GAIN website, with 3 documents including a proposal for EU funding and a research paper. He suggested there might be an opportunity for the two projects to leverage one another in effort to move forward. {Kevin} said this should be a topic for the Member Meeting, along with other out-of-scope issues that may have commonalities among the RADIUS centric issues.

The next SALSA-NetAuth - FWNA WG call will be held on Thursday, November 30 at 11am EST.
