Metadata sources for service providers inside the CLARIN Service Provider Federation

Notes for service provider operators

⚠️ The structure of this repository has changed on 10/02/2020, please make sure to update your forks before creating new pull requests. See the repository system changelog for a detailed description of the changes.

To update or add SAML metadata for your SP:

  1. Fork this repository.
  2. Make your changes in the file corresponding to your SP inside the metadata/ directory. In case you are adding a new SP, add the metadata by creating a new file following the same naming convention: [New SP File Name] = [SP entityID].replace("http(s)?://", "").replace("/", "%2F")
  3. Create a pull request to the master branch of this repository.
  4. Wait for Travis CI to finish the XSD validation on your pull request.
  5. Make sure your pull request is XSD valid. Fix your metadata based on the Travis CI output information and update the pull request until XSD validation passes.
  6. Wait for your pull request to be merged into the master branch by a CLARIN SPF operator. This will trigger the generation of an aggregated quality assurance (QA) report by Travis CI.
  7. Wait for Travis CI to finish the generation of the aggregated QA report. The CLARIN bot will write a comment on the pull request once the generation is complete, linking to the new aggregated QA report and to any individual SP report which has changed due to your pull request. At this point, a CLARIN SPF operator might also request futher changes not covered by the QA automated testing.
  8. In your fork, fix all issues concerning your SP described in the QA report and submit a new pull request.

After a pull request is created (3.) the SAML metadata checker script will automactically perform an XSD validation on the pull request metadata via Travis CI (4.). The result of this check will be visible on the pull request page. Check the existing pull resquests on this repository for examples.

When your pull request successfully passes XSD validation (5.), a CLARIN SPF operator will merge it into the master branch of original repository for QA assessment (6.).
Note that the SPF operators will only consider merging pull requests which are XSD valid. If you cannot make your file successfully pass the XSD validation or you believe you are hitting a false positive. Please create an ​issue explaining the problem.

After your pull request is merged (6.), Travis CI will automatically analyze the latest master version and generate a new QA report visible in ​this page (7.). When this operation has finished, the CLARIN bot](https://github.com/clarin-bot) will write a comment on the pull request linking to the new aggregated QA report and to any individual SP report which changed. Please ascertain that you comply with ​the SAML metadata guidelines. Mind to check and resolve issues in the SAML metadata quality for your SP after your pull request has been merged into the master branch, then update your fork and create a new pull request with any necessary fixes (8.). Make sure you always update the SAML metadata template of your SP to make it correspond exactly with the SAML metadata you deposit here (see e.g. ​https://goo.gl/uysudA).

If you wish that the registration/modification of the SAML metadata about your SP with identity federations is coordinated extra carefully (say, you perform a key rollover), then please create a new ​issue describing the task. Alternatively you can also head over to https://trac.clarin.eu/newticket and create a ticket for the 'AAI' Trac component (requires a CLARIN 'developer' account).

Finally your metadata will be released and picked up by an hourly cron job which automatically downloads the latest available release from this repository and publishes it at ​https://infra.clarin.eu/aai/md_about_spf_sps.xml (staging feed) and https://infra.clarin.eu/aai/prod_md_about_spf_sps.xml (production feed).

Note: For an SP to be published in the production feed it must be defined first with production status in the CLARIN CentreRegistry. This can only be done by CLARIN SPF operators.
