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
