2 Additions to Agenda

There was going to be an addition to the agenda concerning the location of the WSDL and XML schema files for the official versions – the current locations are not consistent. Unfortunately, neither Luc Clement nor John Colgrave could make it on the call, so the item must be held over until the next call, when it is hoped both can be on.

Minutes: Deferred to next meeting, when Luc will be able to report. Note: Dave Prout cannot work on this committee.

5.2 Technical Notes

5.2.1 “Secure Channel for Trustworthiness” Technical Note

The completed TN has been posted. Formal review started 29 Mar 05 per http://lists.oasis- open.org/archives/uddi-spec/200503/msg00028.html. Per last telecom: Status: In the midst of 30-day formal review Next steps: Ready for TC vote; vote to be taken at 3 May telecon Target date: vote 3 May during telecom

ACTION: TC Members to review http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/uddi- spec/200503/msg00028.html and be ready to vote at the 3 May telecon to adopt the “Secure Channel for Trustworthiness” TN as a TC TN

Minutes Claus raised two questions in e-mail:  How does the client determine that the server does validation?  How does the client establish a secure channel?

The UDDI registry owner must offer a binding template under the Node Business Entity that offers an SSL connection.

The UDDI registry will need to make available policy information to specify that it does server-side validation of digital signatures.

Claus asked what the server should do if the signature fails validation – Tony suggested that the signed entry be suppressed, but Claus pointed out that this would be a deviation from normal behaviour. Unfortunately, we have no way, at the moment, to indicate in a response that the signature has failed validation.

Perhaps the TN should add a new find qualifier (as a canonical tModel) to specify if the server should omit entries whose signatures failed validation – one find qualifier to omit entries with failed signatures, one to include them (although there is then the question of whether there is any point to checking them, given that we cannot report the fact).

Dave asked if the TN should add another new find qualifier to specify that the client does not want the server to do validation. If the server were suppressing entries due to signature failures, this would allow the client to override that behaviour – perhaps this find qualifier would suffice?

Given how important these questions are, and the impact they could have on the TN, we will not vote on the TN today.

Discussion on the mailing list, please – we need to decide what we will do / what we will advocate.

5.2.2 “Understanding Key Partitions” Technical Note

Document posted at http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/uddi- spec/download.php/12051/uddi-spec-tc-tn-understandingkeypartitions-20050330.doc.

ACTION: Editors (Max Voskob, Dave Prout, Jin Tong) to review and provide feedback to Tony

Minutes Feedback received from Dave. Waiting on Max and Jin.

5.2.3 “HTTP Basic and Digest Authentication” Technical Note

Document posted at: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/uddi- spec/download.php/11960/uddi-spec-tc-tn-httpauth-20050321.doc

ACTION: Andrew to change the tModel reference to HTTP Transport tModel, and re-submit. He will notify Luc and Tony when resubmitting, so they can begin the edit pass

Minutes Andrew has not completed his action – to be reminded. 5.2.4 “WS-Security Modeling” Technical Note

Document posted at: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/uddi- spec/download.php/12217/uddi-spec-tc-tn-wssecurity-20040328.doc

ACTION: TC members to review – for discussion at 3 May telecon

Minutes Dave opined out that this TN is a good start but needs clarification: for example, when a service specifies encryption, does this mean the request and response are both encrypted? Or just the response? If the request is to be encrypted, where does the requestor get the public key / certificate? This TN is a good start, but there is still work to be done. Dave questioned the prevalence of examples in V2 form (see Appendix B Examples of Use sections) – it might be wise to have examples in both V3 and V2 (at least). Editors: Dave Prout, Claus von Reigen, Pete Wenzel, Tony Rogers

5.3 Schema Centric Canonicalization Spec Errata

Need to discuss status of AR632 (http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/uddi- spec/members/action_item.php?action_item_id=632) relating to "CR062: Errata for SCC14N: Prepare an errata appendix that lists the changes for ease of understanding."

ACTION: Andrew to submit errata

Minutes Andrew has not submitted the errata – Tony to remind him.
