At present, gLite software is being certified by SA3 using both plain grid proxies as well as VOMS proxies. As the EGEE project has moved away from plain grid proxies to VOMS-based proxies, and SA3 is trying to make the best of its limited manpower, SA3 has proposed to the TMB (former TCG) to drop the support for plain grid proxies (i.e. generated via grid-proxy-init) in the EGEE m/w.
EGEE will certify services only with VOMS proxies. Problems or bugs affecting services accessed using plain proxies will be no longer fixed.
If you have any objection to this proposal please write to egee-tcg-site-rep@cern.ch before the next TMB (Wed. 18th June 2008).
