Federation Web Site
• We’re seeing about 1500 page views per
day at present: significant use
• That has been pretty stable for 11 months,
although federation itself has grown
• Perhaps people use the site when they’re
joining, but not afterwards?

Certificates
• JANET SCS being widely used
• Significant number of entities offline
• Small number of IdPs “just broken”
• No way to survey SP trust certificates
Software
• Shibboleth dominates
• Almost all 1.3: only 3×1.2, 2×2.0
• If other software supported large scale
federation, more people might use it.
• Need to determine how much to let
technical holes in other software hold us
back
