To save some time, here are the answers to the 4 questions they suggest
asking:
* Will you commit to remaining compliant with the UK federation for
the duration
of my contract?
* Does your solution work with other SAML-based federations
internationally?
* Can you provide user accountability?
* Do you have a roadmap for future developments (ie Shibboleth 2.0,
provision
of embedded certificates etc)?
Eduserv's answer to all four is: Yes.

*Apologies for cross-postings*
Dear all,
Just to let you know that JISC has produced a briefing paper titled
'Third Party Providers of Federated Access Management Solutions: Guide
for Institutions'.
The briefing paper is aimed at UK higher (HE) and further (FE) education
institutions that wish to adopt federated access management and join the
UK Access Management Federation, either by using paid-for support or by
subscribing to an 'outsourced Identity Provider'.
The briefing is available at
http://www.jisc.ac.uk/publications/publications/identityprovidersbpv1.as

Please note that the paper contains a large table, so if you have
trouble reading the online version, please try either the PDF or Word
version at the bottom of the page.
Kind regards,
