In <a

<h1>SURFconext
Connect
environment: end
of life</h1>
<p>On 1 November, we
will shut down the
<a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://wiki.surfnet.nl/display/surfconextdev/Environments">
SURFconext
Connect
environment.</a>
As of that date,
the SP-form will
no longer be
available either.
After 1 November,
the test
environment will
be the only
location where you
can test new SP’s
and IdP’s, with <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://wiki.surfnet.nl/display/surfconextdev/SP+Dashboard">the
SP-dashboard</a>
as a self-service
interface.<br>
<br>
In our attempt to
simplify the
technical
connection
process, we’re
rethinking the
amount of
environments, and
the names they are
given. Names like
‘connect’, and
‘staging’ create
ambiguity and
generate a lot of
support tickets.<br>
<br>
Everybody who has
registered an IdP
or SP at the
Connect
environment will
receive a message
in the coming
weeks.<br>
<br>
Let us know if you
have any
questions, or if
you want to
migrate to the
test environment
already.</p>
<h1>SURFconext
webinars</h1>
On 25 September, a
new SURFconext
webinar will take
place. It is called
'Een veilige IdP,
een veilig idee’ (A
safe IdP is a
confortable idea).
During this webinar
(in Dutch) you will
learn more about how
to make an IdP safe,
and by doing so,
make the whole
SURFconext
federation safer.
Although this
webinar is tailored
to identity
providers, service
providers are very
welcome!<br>
