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Note also that from this release on the (expired) DOESG root CA has been withdrawn from the "accredited/" directory.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.
