Christopher, We set up our IDP about 2 years ago. It has been worth it. Let me know if you want longer, detailed answers on any of these and we can set up a call. 1. Ease of setup and configuration A: Pretty steep learning curve at first, we looked for a vendor to partner with who had experience and was already an incommon member (SP) to help us get our IDP set up. That technique worked pretty well. 2. Maintenance: Amount of time and effort to manage A: Low. Assign explicit responsibility for keeping on top of InCommon updates/mailing list. 3. Overall impressions on effectiveness A: High - having a standard authentication method for cloud/hosted services has been very useful. Helps us avoid the custom solution resource drain. Also helps avoid unexpected changes from a vendor. Yay standards.
