**Discussion**
1. AAA/SAML/RADIUS - sorting out the interrealm
Work is underway to sort out issues in Moonshot. Inter-federated SAML networks were explored, but Eduroam/RADIUS is simpler and thus will be the platform. Deployment will require new RADIUS installations and a trust fabric between them.
On the Moonshot clients, there is attribute-mapping code contributed by Scott. This is the only Shib code in the current implementation model. It appears that messages sent by the home org to the visited org will be transported via RADIUS, and not SAML-encoded.
Sam and Josh will be at the Spring I2MM...
2. Seed corn next steps
- a short list of invitees to the theme calls to give them exposure will be circulated.
Please suggest names to be included on the list.
