The tar-ball contains the accredited CAs and can be installed via the conventional triplet: ./configure [--prefix=path] && make && make install For those using RPM based linux distribution, a "meta-RPM" is available from the repository, ca_policy_eugridpma-0.28-1.noarch.rpm, that contains dependencies on the RPMs of all accredited CAs. The repository is suitable for "yum" based automatic updates. The next release (0.29) of the CA RPMs is expected in May 2005. Regards, David Groep Chair.

New Release of CA RPMs and other news
by David Groep 23 Feb '05

23 Feb '05

Dear CAs, Relying Parties, Users, and all others interested, In this announcement of the EUGridPMA: -1- New CA distribution v0.27 available -2- Update of the Minimum Requirements for Accreditation (v3.2) Release 0.27 of the CA distribution available --------------------------------------------- A new distribution of Accredited Authorities by the EUGridPMA, release version 0.27, is now available for download from the EUGridPMA Repository https://www.eugridpma.org/distribution/current/ Please download the new packages and install them at your earliest convenience, since the new package includes upgrades to some of the existing CAs as well (CNRS Grid-FR and CyGrid) and it fixes a problem with the use of the UK e-Science CA with recent versions of the OpenSSL package. Changes from 0.26 to 0.27 (22 February 2005): * added additional entry to UKeScience signing policy file to accomodate openssl 0.9.7c rendering of emailAddress component in the subject DN * updated DutchGrid CA cert from web site: extended lifetime to 2021 and changed digest algorithm from MD5 to SHA1 * added a tar-ball distribution with a configure scrfipt for convenience * Removed DOESG-Root from the accredited CA list, as per request of of the CA on January 28, 2005. There are no certs left issued by this CA. * Added Grid-FR CA by CNRS, and extended the signing_policy file of the associated CNRS-Projets CA. * A new root certificate for the CyGrid CA (with a new subject name). The old CyGrid CA has been moved to "-old". Both are in the accredited list. The next release (0.28) of the CA RPMs is expected for the end of March 2005. Update of the Minimum Requirements for Accreditation ---------------------------------------------------- The Minimum Requirements guidelines document has been clarified and elaborated in several places, bringing it better in line again with the common minimum requirements that are coordinated globally via the International Grid Federation (IGF) and to make them less ambiguous. This does not alter the meaning of the requirements in any way. Thew new version of the document (v3.2) is also available from the web site at http://www.eugridpma.org/guidelines/ The changes are: * better synchronisation with the APGridPMA guidelines (and our own version 2.1) regarding recovation of certificates. * clarification of wording regarding the uniqueness of subject names * a list of CA and RA personnel must now be explicitly maintained * worded more carefully what the PMA expects regarding scope of new CAs, and the expected level of commitment and sustainability of member CAs * the description of the profile of end-entity certificates, that was in section 4, has been made explicit in a new subsection 4.1. New requirements in this area include a compulsory inclusion of the CRLDistributionPoints extension, and also AuthorityInfoAccess in case the CA operated a production-level OCSP responder. * the use of MD5 has been depricated Regards, David Groep.

New EUGridPMA release 0.26
by David Groep 24 Dec '04

24 Dec '04

Dear members, relying parties, and other users, A new release of the "accredited CA distribution" - version 0.26 - from the European Grid Authentication PMA in eScience is now available for download from the usual location: http://www.eugridpma.org/distribution/current/ This release removed the "Spain-old" CA that expired in November 2004, but that was causing unnecessary warnings in some software distributions. It also includes the new RMKI CA, extending coverage for authentication to Hungary. The information is provided in RPM and .tar.gz format, the set of accredited CAs being located in the "accredited/" subdirectory. An RPM containing only dependencies on the accredited CAs is provided as "ca_policy_eugridpma-0.26-1.noarch.rpm". For users of RPM the repository is "yum" enabled. Large projects serving this software to their sites and end-users are requested to mirror the distribution. Regards, David Groep.

by David Groep 22 Oct '04

22 Oct '04

Dear Relying parties, CAs, and Others, Although the previous release of the distribution of the EUGridPMA Accredited Authorities was quite recent, we are forced to issue a new release that includes a new root certificate for the Spanish DataGrid CA (DataGrid-ES, whose alias is "Spain"). The new distribution (version 0.25) is now available from the EUGridPMA repository, including new sources and meta-RPMs. You can update at your convenience, but if you are relying on certificates issued by DataGrid-ES you should upgrade before November 12. See: http://www.eugridpma.org/distribution/current/ Also I would like to remind you that relying parties and any others interested can subscribe ot the announce(a)eugridpma.org mailing list (low traffic) via the web site at http://www.eugridpma.org/ Regards, David Groep. -- David Groep ** National Institute for Nuclear and High Energy Physics, PDP/Grid group ** ** Room: H1.56 Phone: +31 20 5922179, PObox 41882, NL-1009DB Amsterdam NL **
