-====== Check List for Publishing Metadata ====== 
-Please take the following hints into account before submitting your new IdP or SP to DFN-AAI: 
- 
- 
-{{:en:metadata_admin_tool:no-federation.png?600|}} 
- 
-  * If possible, please fill in all fields. Correct your data when you see red warning messages. 
-  * Display Name: the name of your organization, institution or company 
-  * Description: a short description, e.g. "Identity Provider of the University of XYZ" 
-  * Information URL: the website of your organization, institution or company 
-  * **Privacy Statement URL**: Please provide the link to your **data privacy statement**. This field is mandatory for Service Provider. If your data privacy statement is only available either in English or in German, you can leave the other field empty. 
-  * The **logos** are fetched and shown in the discovery service (favicons of IdPs) resp. on IdPs' login screens. That is why they have clearly defined maximum sizes. Please scale your logos to make them fit. The small logo is supposed to be a favicon of 16 by 16 pixels. (SPs do not need to submit a favicon URL.) The big logo has to have a width of 64 to 240 pixels and a maximum height of 180 pixels. 
-  * Please submit at leat four **contacts** per system: An administrative contact, a technical one, a support contact and a security contact. We recommend to use non-personalized email addresses, especially for the security contact which could be your Computer Emergency Response Team. If you do not have anything like that, put in the contact that responds in case of security incidents. Please make sure to keep those email addresses up to date! 
-  * Have your X.509 certificate for SAML-based communication ready. We have an [[en:certificates|information page about certificates]]. The most important items are: 
-    * IdP use DFN-PKI certificates. As of July 2019, only the **second generation of DFN-PKI certificates** will be valid. 
-    * SPs can use DFN-PKI certificates (if entitled to do so), certificates issued by established commercial CAs, or self-signed certificates. 
-    * SSL certificates must not exceed a **validity of 39 months**. 
-    * For security reasons, we do no longer accept certificates that were created with a sha1 **signature algorithm**. Here is how you can check this, e.g. with openssl: 
-<code> 
-openssl x509 -in example.org.crt.pem -noout -text | grep "Signature Algorithm" | uniq 
-</code> 
- 
-  * For Service Providers: If you need your SP to execute Attribute Queries or Artifact Queries, your SP certificate should have the client attribute set. If you request your certificate from DFN-PKI, please use the template called "Shibboleth IdP/-SP". If you do not use DFN-PKI certificates, have a look at [[https://www.switch.ch/aai/support/certificates/embeddedcerts-requirements-appendix-a/|our Swiss colleagues' documentation]]. If you do not need any Attribute/Artifact Queries, pleae deactivate the feature in your SP. With a Shibboleth SP you'd have to comment the element <AttributeResolver type="Query"> and to restart shibd. Moreover, you should remove the Binding URL for Artifact Resolution Services and all SOAP Bindings (Logout). Here is how you check if your certificate has the client attributes set with openssl: 
-<code> 
-openssl x509 -in example.org.crt.pem -noout -text | grep -A 1 "X509v3 Extended Key Usage" 
-            X509v3 Extended Key Usage: 
-                TLS Web Client Authentication, TLS Web Server Authentication 
-</code> 
- 
-  * Put your new system into our ** test federation** DFN-AAI-Test. Use our [[en:functionaltest|public test systems to check if the transfer of attributes works correctly. 
-{{:en:metadata_admin_tool:test-en.png?600|}} 
-  * If it does, submit a request to join DFN-AAI.
