Public Endpoint Entities Registry

Project description

Public Endpoint Entities Registry

PEER is envisioned as a lightweight, global registrar for SAML Metadata representing both SAML and non-SAML endpoints (e.g., OpenID, IMI). It is intended as a focused activity to catalyze international use of federated identity. The service is not intended to be a replacement for federation or inter-federation, but is intended to be a tool supporting such activities.

CHANGES

0.9.0 (2012-03-03)

  • Several changes to the SAMLmetaJS editor: - Support for IdP endpoints and certificates. - Support for EncryptionMethod in KeyDescriptors - Support for MDUI.PrivacyStatementURL and MDUI.InformationURL. - Many refactorings to improve code reuse. - Merge features from PEER 0.8.0 into SAMLmetaJS master branch.

  • Show IdP information (endpoints and certificates) in the details view.

  • Improve certificate rendering in the details view.

  • Send emails to subscribers of entities when their endpoints are down.

  • Allow to subscribe to entities for updates about their endpoints state.

  • Refactor the views module of the entities application into a package which is easier to handle.

  • Several bug fixes: - Fix the terms of use file in the metadata upload file form (issue #2). - Fix bad use of ugettext_lazy and use ugettext instead. - Fix a crash when an entity is new and does not have metadata yet. - Fix the way the diff is computed when submitting a change to the metadata of an entity.

0.8.0 (2012-01-31)

  • Rich metadata support. Now it is possible to edit the logo and geolocalization hint of an entity. This feature is used to display richer multimedia information through PEER.

  • Improve the metadata editor with request initiator and discovery response endpoint support. Also improve the localization plugin and add keywords and logo to the information plugin.

  • Metadata refresh: if the entity id is a URL that points to the metadata itself the user can activate a periodic fetch of this metadata.

  • Preview before commit: now the editing and commiting flows are separated by a modal dialog that ask for the commit message only when the changes are ready. In this dialog a diff of the current changes is available for easy reviewing.

  • Git repositry co-existence: if there is already a Git repository with metadata files it can be reused in PEER by specifing the directory that PEER ‘owns’ inside this repository.

  • Metadata grouping: a user can define an entity group by writing a query. A custom feed and map for this group are created automatically so following the changes for related entities becomes easier.

  • Lots of bug fixes and documentation improvements.

0.7.0 (2011-12-22)

  • DNS-based domain validation

  • Support for EntityAttributes SAML extension via a SAMLmetaJS new plugin.

0.6.0 (2011-11-30)

  • Usability improvements by adding several helpful messages to a lot of views.

  • Federated authentication.

  • Password reset for those of you with volatile memories.

  • Several bug fixes.

  • Make all public pages HTML5 compliant.

  • When validating domains try also the www hostname.

  • Big flashy button to get the latest version of an entity’s metadata.

  • Add the possibility to specify a custom User Agent header for the domain ownership proof.

  • When editing the metadata of an entity, warn the user that there are unsaved changes before he navigates to another page.

  • Remove the metadata when removing the entity.
