Dear CAs, Relying Parties, Users, and all others interested,
In this announcement of the IGTF:
1. Updated IGTF distribution version 1.53 available
2. fetch-crl v3.0.10 introduces IPv6 perl glue functionality
=========================================================================
1. Updated IGTF distribution version 1.53 available
=========================================================================
A new distribution of Accredited Authorities by the EUGridPMA, based
on the IGTF Common Source, is now available. It includes the newly
accredited Authorities by all IGTF Members and retires expiring CA
certificates. This is version 1.53 release 1, and it is now available
for download from the Repository (and mirrors) at
https://dist.eugridpma.info/distribution/igtf/current/
Changes from 1.52 to 1.53
-------------------------
(27 May 2013)
* Added new root cert for IHEP CA (2013) (CN)
* Removed retired NCSA GridShib CA (e8ac4b61) (US)
* Removed backup crl_url locations for CILogon CAs
due to future crl.doegrids.org shutdown. (US)
* Removed retired TACC CAs (2ac09305, 684261aa, e5cc84c2) (US)
* Updated NERSC CA (b93d6240) to extend validity and change to
self-signed rather than subordinate to ESnet (US)
Next Release
------------
Releases are usually done on the last Monday of the month, only when
the trust anchor distribution has been updated substantially. The
currently-estimated next release date of the distribution is at the
end of June 2013.
=========================================================================
2. fetch-crl v3.0.10 introduces IPv6 perl glue functionality
=========================================================================
The fetch-crl utility will retrieve certificate revocation lists (CRLs) for
a set of installed trust anchors, based on crl_url files or IGTF-style info
files. It will install these for use with OpenSSL, NSS or third-party tools.
Changes in 3.0.10-1
----------------------
* Added a "noquiet" option in the configuration file that will override
the default single "-q" option in the cro-job that is shipped with
the fetch-crl3 init scripts (feature request by Ryan Taylor)
* Added option "--inet6glue" and "inet6glue" config setting to load
the Net::INET6Glue perl module (if it is available) to use IPv6
connections in LWP to download CRLs
Download fetch-crl from
https://dist.eugridpma.info/distribution/util/fetch-crl3/

Dear CAs, Relying Parties, Users, and all others interested,
In this announcement of the IGTF:
1. Unused CESNET CA "9b59ecad" lost CRL generation capability
2. Updated IGTF distribution version 1.46 available
=========================================================================
1. Unused CESNET CA "9b59ecad" lost CRL generation capability
=========================================================================
The obsolete CESNET cA with OpenSSL 0.x hashID "9b59ecad" has recently
lost its capability to generate CRLs. Although this CA was no longer
in active use and has no subscribers left, it was not yet withdrawn from
the IGTF distribution. The last CRL has since expired, and in its current
state the CA is no longer operative. It also has no capability left to
generate a new CRL.
There are no security risks associated with having an expired CRL, and
leaving 1.45 in place does not expose you as a relying party to any
additional risk.
However, no longer having a valid CRL may generate monitoring warnings
in several operational infrastructures. To mitigate this warnings, the
IGTF releases 1.46, which formally obsoletes this CA.
=========================================================================
2. Updated IGTF distribution version 1.46 available
=========================================================================
A new distribution of Accredited Authorities by the EUGridPMA, based
on the IGTF Common Source, is now available. It includes the newly
accredited Authorities by all IGTF Members and retires expiring CA
certificates. This is version 1.46, release 1, and it is now available for
download from the Repository (and mirrors) at
https://dist.eugridpma.info/distribution/igtf/current/
Changes from 1.45 to 1.46
-------------------------
(29 March 2012)
* Removed discontinued CESNET (9b59ecad) CA (CZ)
Debian APT support
------------------
The IGTF distributed the trust anchors in various formats. This release
adds an 'apt' compliant repository for Debian-based distribution as an
experimental service. For details, see
https://dist.eugridpma.info/distribution/igtf/current/dists/README.txt
Use in coordinated-deployment infrastructures
---------------------------------------------
If you are part of a coordinated-deployment infrastructure (such as a
national e-Infrastructure, EGI, OSG, PRACE-RI, NAREGI or others) you may
want to await your project announcement before installing this release.
The download repository is also mirrored by the APGridPMA at
https://www.apgridpma.org/distribution/igtf/
Next Release
------------
Releases are usually done on the last Monday of the month, only when
the trust anchor distribution has been updates substantially. The currently-
estimated next release date of the distribution is 30 April 2012.
Dual-hash OpenSSL v1 support
----------------------------
This distribution comes in two (2) formats. The primary format for this
release supports OpenSSL v1 and is designed to be backwards compatible
with the old distribution format.
If you experience issues with the new format, the old non-OpenSSL-v1
version is still available at
https://dist.eugridpma.org/distribution/igtf/current-old/
but you should upgrade as soon as practically possible. Subsequentl
releases may withdraw this legacy format without further notice.

Dear CAs, Relying Parties, Users, and all others interested,
In this announcement of the IGTF:
1. Updated IGTF distribution version 1.45 available
=========================================================================
1. Updated IGTF distribution version 1.45 available
=========================================================================
A new distribution of Accredited Authorities by the EUGridPMA, based
on the IGTF Common Source, is now available. It includes the newly
accredited Authorities by all IGTF Members and retires expiring CA
certificates. This is version 1.45, release 1, and it is now available for
download from the Repository (and mirrors) at
https://dist.eugridpma.info/distribution/igtf/current/
Changes from 1.44 to 1.45
-------------------------
(26 March 2012)
* Added accredited NCSA 2-factor SLCS CA (US)
Debian APT support
------------------
The IGTF distributed the trust anchors in various formats. This release
adds an 'apt' compliant repository for Debian-based distribution as an
experimental service. For details, see
https://dist.eugridpma.info/distribution/igtf/current/dists/README.txt
Use in coordinated-deployment infrastructures
---------------------------------------------
If you are part of a coordinated-deployment infrastructure (such as a
national e-Infrastructure, EGI, OSG, PRACE-RI, NAREGI or others) you may
want to await your project announcement before installing this release.
The download repository is also mirrored by the APGridPMA at
https://www.apgridpma.org/distribution/igtf/
Next Release
------------
Releases are usually done on the last Monday of the month, only when
the trust anchor distribution has been updates substantially. The currently-
estimated next release date of the distribution is 30 April 2012.
Dual-hash OpenSSL v1 support
----------------------------
This distribution comes in two (2) formats. The primary format for this
release supports OpenSSL v1 and is designed to be backwards compatible
with the old distribution format.
If you experience issues with the new format, the old non-OpenSSL-v1
version is still available at
https://dist.eugridpma.org/distribution/igtf/current-old/
but you should upgrade as soon as practically possible. Subsequentl
releases may withdraw this legacy format without further notice.
