Here's a note to say that, as previously announced, the UK federation
metadata will change its signature profile to SHA256. It is a technical
change to the format of our metadata aggregate; we have prepared
thoroughly; and we are confident that your users' access through the UK
federation will not be affected.
The change will take place on Wednesday 28 August.
This change was first flagged to your administrative and technical
contacts in April, and in June we notified them that the change would
occur on August 7. However we have deferred the change to help out some
members, and we wanted to let you know of the new date. We will send an
email to your technical and administrative contacts when the change has
been published.
If you have any questions about this change, or other matters about the
UK federation, please contact us at [log in to unmask]
Kind regards,
Alex, Monica, Sara & Steve,
The UK federation technical support team
