VOMS authorization files.
by Steve Traylen
Today I tried actually deploying a real myproxy service rather than
just a test instance from EPEL
for the fist time.
The instant annoyance I faced was a lack of voms server trust files in
/etc/grid-security/vomes and
a lack voms certificate generation configuration files in /etc/voms.d
(I think it is.).
Obviously I could generate the configuration files by hand but this is
rather error prone
especially given this is actually globally identical for everyone the
global chance of mistake is nearly
1.
These directories are perfect for dropping files into via RPM and I am
interested in comments
as to how to go about providing these trust files and voms certificate
generation configuration files.
It's incredibly similar to CA files in someways in the sense we have
multiple identical files per VO
to drop into a directory.
As anyone considered packaging these files up for wider use.... I'm
considering this case, it's clearly
not something to include in Fedora itself but presenting somewhere to
obtain them makes sense to me.
Steve.

Cream

Hi Matt,
In reply your message about Cream.
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/grid-computing/2010-October/0000...
which I only just noticed in the archives I 've tried to tackle
cream a few times
to at least see what was missing.
The way the source code is arranged in CVS makes non-trivial for sure.
So while I definitely want to see this happen it needs some autotools
work I expect
to get it going.
Steve.
