In addition, ALICE reported VOMS proxy problems when using LCG-RBs and certain LCG- CEs. When using the CEs via an WMS, no problems are observed.
There seem to be still more RBs than WMSs out there.
Could you please encourage the sites to be a bit more aggressive with the move to the WMS. It is easier to operate, more stable, just plain and simple.
