(Note: this feature solves the problem announced with this broadcast: https://operations-portal.egi.eu/broadcast/archive/id/636) - The VOMS user search functionality can now be limited to suspended users. This feature provides convenient access to the list of users that are currently suspended. - It is now possible to restore multiple user memberships with a single click of the mouse. - It is now possible to disable the automatic membership suspension of users after membership expiration. - VOMS Admin now allows for a configurable grace period before suspending users after their membership has expired. - It is now possible to completely disable the membership end time. In this way users are suspended only if the fail to sign the AUP in the given time or if the VO manager explicitly requests the user suspension. - The sign AUP warning message text has been extended to better explain that users can restore their membership at any time by simply signing the AUP. - All the membership validation service configuration options are now included and documented in the voms.service.properties file and are configurable via YAIM. - It is now possible for users to select VO groups that they want to be part of at registration time.VO managers can then approve each group membership request independently. A new configuration parameter and YAIM variable has been provided to enable this functionality (which is switched off by default). - VOMS Admin now provides API access to information about active, suspended and expired users. This information can be accessed using the new voms-admin-client - The voms-admin client create-user command now supports the setting of personal information about the user (name, surname, institution,address, phoneNumber). This functionality was previously provided only by the web interface. - Changing the active AUP now triggers a warning dialog. - VOMS Admin now gives the ability of setting a description for VOMS groups at group creation time. - The VOMS Admin user search page now clearly shows if users are suspended, expired or have a pending SIGN AUP task and other useful information (e.g., days to membership expiration, days to SIGN AUP task expiration) - A Nagios probe to test VOMS Admin VOs availability is now provided in the VOMS distribution. - The voms-db-deploy.py script now implements the grant-read-only-access command, that is used to open the VO to all authenticated clients. This functionality is used by voms-admin-configure and YAIM at VO configuration time. - The SAML endpoint implements the latest EMI SAML profile for Virtual Organization membership attributes profile http://bit.ly/emi-saml-profile
