Dear CAs, Relying Parties, Users, and all others interested,
Release 0.29 of the CA distribution available
---------------------------------------------
A new distribution of Accredited Authorities by the EUGridPMA, release
version 0.29, is now available for download from the EUGridPMA Repository
https://www.eugridpma.org/distribution/current/
You can download the new packages and install them at your convenience.
Changes from 0.28 to 0.29
-------------------------
(27 April 2005)
* New root certificate for the NIIF/Hungarnet CA, following the TACAR update
* Preliminary inclusion of the SWITCH CA certificates. Note that the
ordering of the components in the end-entity DN will currently prevent
the end-entity certs to be validated (this is being addressed by SwissSign)
* Modified layout of the tar distribution, in preparation for support of
multiple authentication profiles
Note also that from this release on the (expired) DOESG root CA has been
withdrawn from the "accredited/" directory.
For those using RPM based linux distribution, a "meta-RPM" is available
from the repository, ca_policy_eugridpma-0.29-1.noarch.rpm, that contains
dependencies on the RPMs of all accredited CAs. The repository is
suitable for "yum" based automatic updates.
The next release (0.30) of the CA RPMs is to be expected around July 2005,
(of course barring special circumstances).
Regards,
David Groep
Chair.
PS: Please circulate this announcement widely as appropriate.
