13:36 pdurbin I worked a bit on https://github.com/dvn/shibpoc yesterday, as I mentioned here: Shibboleth/Dataverse Network integration - http://shibboleth.net/pipermail/users/2013-February/008095.html
14:17 pdurbin I really need to start thinking about how we would incorporate Shibboleth into the DVN
14:18 pdurbin especially since I'm hosting a meeting tomorrow: http://irclog.iq.harvard.edu/dvn/2013-02-07#i_515
14:21 pdurbin https://dvn.iq.harvard.edu/dvn/faces/login/LoginPage.xhtml (for example) is backed by https://github.com/IQSS/dvn/blob/3.3/src/DVN-web/web/login/LoginPage.xhtml and https://github.com/IQSS/dvn/blob/3.3/src/DVN-web/src/edu/harvard/iq/dvn/core/web/login/LoginPage.java
14:23 pdurbin as i mentioned at the shib mailing list link above, I'm thinking about looking at this for inspiration: websso - Web Single Sign-On (SSO) Toolkit from CRT - Google Project Hosting - http://code.google.com/p/websso/
14:24 pdurbin I'm also wondering if I can get a #shibboleth channel going: http://irclog.perlgeek.de/ilbot/2013-02-12#i_6442579
15:11 pdurbin ok, i just started a new channel: Announcing ##shibboleth, a new IRC channel on irc.freenode.net (publicly logged) - http://shibboleth.net/pipermail/users/2013-February/008097.html
15:22 bnsnwork joined #dvn
15:35 sbmarks yeah, tbh the biggest feature I can think of for shib integration with dataverse would be auto-account creation
15:35 sbmarks left #dvn
15:35 pdurbin sbmarks: hmm. ok. thanks
15:35 sbmarks joined #dvn
15:36 sbmarks otherwise, it's pretty much all covered by the existing rights model
15:37 sbmarks i guess you could do institution authentication if you can pass institutional affiliation through shib, but the case for that being useful where it's not already covered by IP authentication seems like an edge case to me
15:38 sbmarks but I would like to be able to tell users to just log in using their institutional ID and that's your account. the separate signup step is a bit of a pain
15:38 pdurbin yeah, it would be a big win for sites with shib
15:47 sbmarks any idea how many of those there are?
15:47 sbmarks like, have you gotten a lot of interest in the meeting?
15:52 pdurbin well, the main site i know of that has Shibboleth is Odum ( http://www.irss.unc.edu/odum/home2.jsp ) ... as i understand it they would auth against http://its.unc.edu/service-catalog/shibboleth/
15:53 pdurbin http://arc.irss.unc.edu/dvn/ is their DVN installation. it's listed at http://thedata.org
15:59 pdurbin I'm re-invigorated to look at http://openam.forgerock.org since one of our devs has gotten it working with glassfish. He just said he's going to try to be in the meeting tomorrow
16:16 pdurbin "I'd like to implement a SP using OpenAM with SAML2, and I want to test the implemetation with testshib.org" from http://lists.forgerock.org/pipermail/openam/2012-June/006831.html sounds like more or less what I'd like to try next
16:31 pdurbin a bit of administrivia for this channel... previously links were shorted at 50 characters but I just raised it to 200. i still need to commit the change: change to allow longer links not commited · Issue #1 · dvn/iqirclog-vagrant - https://github.com/dvn/iqirclog-vagrant/issues/1
16:43 pdurbin going to look at https://blogs.oracle.com/identityfever/entry/connect_opensso_as_a_shibboleth via https://wikis.forgerock.org/confluence/display/openam/Integrate+OpenAM+with+Shibboleth via http://lists.forgerock.org/pipermail/openam/2012-June/006820.html
19:34 pdurbin hmm, added dvn/src/DVN-web/src/edu/harvard/iq/​dvn/core/web/servlet/AttrView.java ... now to actually connect it to a shib IdP somehow
20:11 pdurbin sbmarks: datacite?
20:12 pdurbin DataCite | Helping you to find, access, and reuse research data - http://datacite.org
20:12 sbmarks yah, it's another unique identifier minting service
20:12 sbmarks yeah, that one
20:12 sbmarks though I am of course interested in DataCite Canada but same deal
20:12 sbmarks issues DOIs instead of handles
20:12 pdurbin huh. ok. for anyone else we're talking about https://groups.google.com/d/topic/dataverse-community/TFMCCrDwmaM/discussion
20:12 sbmarks but they are pretty much the same thing
20:13 sbmarks http://cisti-icist.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/eng/services/cisti/datacite-canada/index.html
20:16 pdurbin hmm. ok
20:17 pdurbin sbmarks: if you'd like to make an official feature request, please email dvn_support@help.hmdc.harvard.edu
20:21 sbmarks I've been meaning to do that for ages. Or just try to get it puzzled out myself. Would you guys be open to pull requests from end users?
20:46 pdurbin sbmarks: absolutely!
20:46 sbmarks cool =)
20:46 pdurbin sorry, was actually helping another dev with our move to git just now :)
20:46 sbmarks i have some minor metadata quibbles that I would like to get my feet wet on
20:46 pdurbin and... this just in... an attempt to convert dvn from ant to maven: https://github.com/akio-sone/dvn-maven
20:47 pdurbin which is practically a pull request
20:47 pdurbin i should mention it in our maven ticket: https://redmine.hmdc.harvard.edu/issues/2738
21:21 pdurbin looking at http://weblogs.java.net/blog/amyroh/archive/2012/02/15/running-glassfish-312-apache-http-server after it was mentioned at http://irclog.perlgeek.de/shibboleth/2013-02-12#i_6444574
21:31 pdurbin they're calling it apache+mod_shib+ajp
