Hi,
I prefer Elsevier's approach, personalization based on pairwise-id/eduPersonTargetedID. Another sign in for personalisation on top of institutional sign in is adding complexity, it leads to worse user experience IMHO.

Hi,
I agree. The SP should not enforce the release of pairwise-id/eduPersonTargetedID, and if the IdP allows to release pairwise-id/eduPersonTargetedID the user should have the choice, so that the attribute is only released if the user wants to use the personalization based on that attribute. Additionally, when no pairwise-id/eduPersonTargetedID is passed to the SP, the SP still should offer personalization based on a registered account (as most publishers do, Elsevier as far as I know is one of very few publishers that don't allow this when an institutional login is used.).
Best regards, Bernd

Hi,
IMHO there are users who wish to have anonymous access and there are also users who wish to have a profile, use personalisation. So a solution there could be let users decide about releasing pairwise-id (eduPersonTargetedID) using CAR.

Hi Jiri, Bernd et al, thank you for this discussion. This is very meaningful for downplaying the FIM4L recommendations 4.A and 4.B to a more simple level. We now have two recommendations which you have to (unfortunately) choose: 4.A. Transitory Access - eduPersonTargetedID as optional would be fine for this. 4.B. Personalized Access - eduPersonTargetedID required. - And for 4.B the recommendation is to let it be for the SP side to offer a profile, voluntarily to configure by users. So that in any way IdP's do not have to release PII. (https://www.fim4l.org/?page_id=257) What would we actually recommend for librarians? Wouldn't it be nice to have just one option? I think it is too difficult for librarians to choose here. Reading the discussion, we can say that we cannot recommend going just for 4.B. And if librarians consider switching form IP to SAML they are very suspicious about privacy. Can we recommend for both IdP's and SP's to go for 4.A? What about recommending 4.A and have the option for 4.B when there is an agreement between IdP and SP about creating profiles, anchored in a contract? Should we recommend a contract clausula alongside 4.B? As far as I understand, I'm aware of what Meshna says: If you opt for 4.A then it is simply not possible to have a profile, which is very annoying if not impossible for our patrons. Best, Jos

At Elsevier SP metadata [1] I can see: eduPersonEntitlement (required) eduPersonTargetedID (optional) in DFN-AAI, IDEM or Australian Access Federation. At the SP metadata in eduGAIN / UK Federation there are no requested attributes. At the SP metadata in eduID.at, SWITCHaai, InCommon, RENATER I
can see:
eduPersonEntitlement (required) eduPersonTargetedID (required) It illustrates different approaches around the world how to express optional ePTID release in SP metadata and a challenge for one appropriate SP metadata in eduGAIN serving globally. To me eduPersonEntitlement (required) eduPersonTargetedID (optional) seems as the most appropriate. Cheers Jiri 1.

? That's obviously wrong, both eduPersonScopedAffiliation and eduPersonEntitlement are supported for authorization, but as far as I can tell you don't have to use them, and eduPersonTargetedID isn't required.

No. I can't speak for other IdPs, but in my opinion that approach would be wrong, users by default should be able to use services anonymously, without being recognized as a returning user. Based on what I can see in the admin tools, only a very small percentage of our users actually uses the personalization features, so releasing eduPersonTargetedID by default just for personalization isn't an option. If publishers would force us to send an eduPersonTargetedID just for personalization I would consider dropping Shibboleth for those publishers and using our EZproxy instead.
