Dear CAs, Relying Parties, Users, and all others interested,
In this announcement of the IGTF:
1. Updated IGTF distribution version 1.34 available 2. Distribution format changes in the wake of OpenSSL version 1 (repeated annoucement)
========================================================================= 1. Updated IGTF distribution version 1.34 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 1.34, release 1, and it is now available for download from the Repository (and mirrors) at
https://dist.eugridpma.info/distribution/igtf/current/ (traditional format)
https://dist.eugridpma.info/distribution/igtf/1.34-new/ (new format)
Changes from 1.32 to 1.33 ------------------------- (18 February 2010)
* Corrected malformed EACL syntax in signing_policy for CESNET-Root-CA (CZ)
Since this is a quick-fix for the 1.33 distribution, you are reminded of these changes in 1.33 in case one migrates from a previous version 1.33:
* Added accredited MICS TCS eScience Personal CA and hierarchy (EU) * Updated AustrianGrid root cert with extended life time (AT) * Updated PolishGrid CA with new contact and extended root CA life time (PL) * Removed expired CNRS-Grid-FR CA (has been superseded by CNRS2-Grid-FR) (FR) * Removed obsolete CNRS, CNRS-Projets CA (superceded by CNRS2 hierarchy) (FR) * Corrected namespaces file for BEGrid2008 (BE) * Added comment line to REUNA CA signing_policy file (CL) * Added new classic CESNET hierarchy "CESNET-CA-Root" and "CESNET-CA-3" (CZ) * Updated (re-rooted) selected UNaccredited CAs in the "worthless" area
If you part of a coordinated-deployment project (such as OSG, EGEE, LCG, DEISA, 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/current
Next Release ------------ The next release of the distribution is expected in April 2010.
========================================================================= 2. Distribution format changes in the wake of OpenSSL version 1 =========================================================================
IMPORTANT NOTICE ----------------
This 1.34 distribution comes in two (2) formats. The primary format for this 1.34 release is the 'current' one, which has no changes. A 'new' format, available for your evaluation as of this release at: https://dist.eugridpma.info/distribution/igtf/1.34-new/ supports also OpenSSL v1 and is designed to be backwards compatible with the current distribution format.
*** YOU ARE INVITED TO EVALUATE THIS NEW DISTRIBUTION FORMAT NOW ***
In a subsequent release (1.35 or 1.36), the 'default' distribution will change to the new format and the current format will be depricated and only available via a special URL. The default download location https://dist.eugridpma.org/distribution/igtf/current/ will then point to the new-format distribution.
Releases after 1.36 (Autumn 2010) may withdraw this then-depricated format and from then on only the 'new' format will be distributed.
