Hi Jane,
I may be missing something but I can't see any reference to Alumni in
the technical recommendations...

My immediate concern was with user accountability. The registration of
our
current IdP says that we are able to hold our users accountable. Which
we
are as long as they are current 'members' of the University. I'm not
sure
that we could make the same assertion of our Alumni, which suggests that
we'd at least need a separate IdP for them, which we might not want in
the
normal UK Federation WAYF. Having gone this far, it's not clear that
there
is any point in the UK Federation knowing anything about this IdP.
There is also the nagging worry that some SPs may be accepting any
authentication from IdPs that appear in the Federation metadata without
checking ePSA...

I understand that the Shib 2 IdP can (or will) do OpenID too...
