Is there any chance you can just take what you have, and donate that
and keep working on it here?
We could have spent the last month working together, you doing the
work that you wanted to do, and us reading the code, asking
questions, etc. We promise we won't get in your way too much :)

Good idea. Alternatively for our use, it looks like the

all we use in the openejb corba code. Can we sidestep this

Kresten, does the proposed Trifork ORB donation include the asn1
code necessary for CORBA security?
Our CSI interceptor can certainly be included in the donation. It
includes some hand-written code for some of the ASN.1 encodings,
like GSS_ExportedName.
For ITTDistinguishedName, we use
javax.security.auth.x500.X500Principal to decode the ASN.1 name.
(this should be in any 1.4+ JDK).
I cannot say for sure if this is all that will be needed in the
future, but we can take it from here. I.e. we might also need code
to ASN.1 encode/decode x509 certificate chains. I could not
immediately find somewhere in our code where we handle that beyond
SSL-level management.
If someone is actually working on this stuff, I can send them the
files that make up the CSI interceptor.
