AAF Technical Newsletter #28

Are you a Service Provider connected to the AAF?

If you haven't upgraded your Shibboleth SP from v2 to v3, we recommend that you do so. By doing so you will remove the risk of running an unsupported version. If you would like to discuss your Shibboleth SP v3 upgrade, contact AAF Support.

Visit the Shibboleth for release notes.

New AAF Security Protocol

The AAF has created a security email address for subscribers to notify the AAF of any security incidents. Anyone may make the AAF aware of a relevant security incident via:

Emailing security@aaf.edu.au (preferred)
Phoning the AAF office on: +61 7 3854 2353

DO NOT communicate any sensitive information via these channels. If required, AAF staff will set up a secure communication channel with you, after the initial request is received.
