17:01 bencomp pdurbin: did you make it to the office? :)
17:02 bencomp https://twitter.com/philipdurbin/status/566214348243496960
17:02 pdurbin are you referring to https://twitter.com/philipdurbin/status/566214348243496960 ? :)
17:02 pdurbin jinx!
17:02 pdurbin yeah, trying to finish this: Account/Shibboleth: Converting from local to non-local · Issue #796 · IQSS/dataverse - https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/796
17:02 bencomp what do I say in response to jinx? :)
17:03 pdurbin bencomp: you can't say anything! you're jinxed!
17:03 bencomp d'oh
17:03 pdurbin even my kindergartener knows that ;)
17:04 bencomp we don't have that here :)
17:04 pdurbin I figured.
17:04 bencomp I'm finally writing that email to dvn-auth about the auth group
17:05 bencomp do we/you expect that people (semi-)formally join the group?
17:06 bencomp or do group coordinators report what any somewhat involved person has to say?
17:07 pdurbin well
17:08 pdurbin right now this is who I consider to be part of the group: dvn-auth Subscribers - https://lists.iq.harvard.edu/mailman/roster/dvn-auth
17:09 bencomp okay, that makes sense :)
17:10 pdurbin but we can change what it means to be part of the group
17:10 pdurbin I'd like to get away from the term "dvn" anyway
17:10 bencomp maybe except for the "groups will be formed at the [meeting] in June" (http://community.dataverse.org/community-groups/index.html)
17:11 pdurbin right
17:12 pdurbin we should invite people to join the new group. it's very clear who is part of the old group. will there be similar clarity on who is part of the new group?
17:12 bencomp I put my role in the group in our CRIS today :) https://pure.knaw.nl/portal/en/persons/ben-companjen%280db8708d-9b7d-44f5-b960-521261d8b2f9%29.html
17:14 pdurbin bencomp: pull request time. add a link to your name
17:14 bencomp :D
17:16 bencomp I feel a group membership comes with rights and responsibilities. e.g. the right to 'influence' development by discussing functional and technical issues
17:17 bencomp and e.g. the responsibility to get involved in discussions?
17:18 pdurbin ok
17:18 pdurbin "you get a vote"
17:18 pdurbin or something
17:18 pdurbin I would love more discussion around auth.
17:18 bencomp perhaps, although a CG reports to the Advisory Team, who advises development
17:19 bencomp so what would getting a vote mean? :)
17:20 bencomp just thinking out loud, byw
17:20 bencomp s/byw/btw/
17:22 pdurbin :)
17:22 pdurbin oh I dunno
17:22 pdurbin it's hardly a democracy
17:22 bencomp pdurbin: I could write that we don't know the exact group definition yet
17:22 pdurbin which is fine
17:22 pdurbin the people who show up can define it :)
17:23 bencomp agreed :)
17:24 bencomp I'd better arrange my trip soon :)
17:25 pdurbin heh
17:25 pdurbin oh I mean show up virtually too
17:34 pdurbin bencomp: does your IdP return an attribute for "faculty" or "staff" or "student" or whatever?
17:35 bencomp urn:mace:dir:attribute-def:eduPersonAffiliation is used for that
17:38 bencomp pdurbin: but not all source IdPs provide it, afaik
17:40 pdurbin bencomp: Harvard uses eduPersonScopedAffiliation http://iam.harvard.edu/resources/saml-shibboleth-attributes
17:40 pdurbin "One or more of the following values: faculty, staff, student, affiliate, and member."
17:42 bencomp hmm
17:43 sanchitgoyal01 joined #dataverse
17:44 bencomp pdurbin: I wondered if it's possible to configure a filter on the Shib side to pick one of X attributes that more or less convey the same information
17:45 bencomp also: http://xkcd.com/927/
17:45 pdurbin bencomp: right. this is the same question as eppn vs NameId. Can each installation of Dataverse control what attributes are sent to the Dataverse applications via xml config files in /etc/shibboleth?
17:45 bencomp indeed
17:45 pdurbin bencomp: is there someone you can ask?
17:46 bencomp although I thought issue 1422 was more on the Dataverse application side :)
17:47 bencomp I'm the last one in the office now, it's dinner time
17:47 bencomp + weekend
17:47 bencomp :P
17:48 bencomp I'll talk to Arnoud next week, but I'm not sure he knows everything about Shib/SAML
17:48 pdurbin well, I don't have to do anything for https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/1422 if you can configure shibd to always send eppn to the Dataverse app
18:16 bencomp pdurbin: as I'm using your name in this email, would you like to read it before I send it to the list? :)
18:16 bencomp I'm quite happy about the tone and content
18:17 bencomp I'm going home now, it's in your inbox and I'll send it later if you're happy with the contents
18:20 bencomp1 joined #dataverse
18:20 pdurbin bencomp: in general, looks great. I feel like we should give people something to opt-in to though.
18:20 pdurbin maybe we could give them all edit access to a Google Doc or something
18:22 bencomp1 right. let me think about that later :)
18:22 bencomp1 good night and weekend for now!
