I've only connected to InCommon (and that's how we document it in the guides) but I hope it's similar.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 09 2026 at 09:39):I'm asking for a friend here in Riga (#community > DataverseLV (Latvia) event on May 6th) and I believe we'll probably try the feed at https://laife.lanet.lv/metadata/laife-edugain-metadata.xml which I found at https://refeds.org/federations
Thomas van Erven (May 10 2026 at 06:33):I connected an instance to Belnet recently, which I believe couples against Edugain
Thomas van Erven (May 10 2026 at 06:33):(By no means an expert, but I know this specific trauma to some extent)
Oliver Bertuch (May 10 2026 at 08:47):Just a note: @Philip Durbin 🚀 mentions the metadata XML, so he might be talking about setting up the Shib daemon itself, as it would need to consume the IdP list to become part of the federation.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 10 2026 at 14:32):Yeah, shibd. We'll need at least 11 IdPs to be able to log in.
Thomas van Erven (May 10 2026 at 14:33):So you would need to define a metadata filter in Shib to filter out your institutions, if I'm not mistaken.
Thomas van Erven (May 10 2026 at 14:34):(Don't know the exact XML tag but I know it's possible)
Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 10 2026 at 14:36):Ok, good. It was late on a Friday but we'll pick this up soon. Glad to know who to ask! :smile:
