Dear all,
After some querying emails and talks, I
wanted to let you know the status of the Terena certificates;
# we've noticed that the WMS has
problems coping with this type of certificates.
GGUS ticket: https://gus.fzk.de/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=67040
# Also we are campaigning to get more
idp's connected; in short: if you are making use of the Surfnet certificate
service (also for personal and servercerts), and if your organisation is a
member of the Surffederation your institute can make use of this; I am aware
that at least AMC, Leiden University, University Twente, University of Utrecht
(not a complete list) are eligible.
Contact @ surfnet for these matters is: joost.vandijk@surfnet.nl
The advantage of this services is that
you can obtain an X509 grid certificate in a couple of minutes, by making use
of your home institutions credentials;
I sincerely hope we can get more
institutes connected; and the WMS problems will be fixed soon.
Thanks,
Regards,
Tom
