(CCing multiple mailing lists to reach a broader audience including current
deployments of GT 4.0.x)

 

There have been multiple requests to support signing policy files in Java
GSI implementation and an enhancement bug has been filed:
http://bugzilla.globus.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3789. This work is being
targeted for the GT 4.2 release.

 

Tasks for campaign:

 

- Evaluate support for signing policy on C side

- Add signing policy file parsing and enforcement in CoG JGlobus to mimic C
functionality

- Tests for code base

- Documentation 

- Merge code with trunk and GT 4.0.x code base.

 

I propose that the signing policy enforcement be a requirement in the trunk
(GT 4.2.x) code base, with an option to turn off the requirement. This would
mimic C infrastructure requirements. 

 

For the GT 4.0.x code base, to maintain backwards compatibility, I propose
that the default continue to not require the signing policy file, with an
option to require enforcement. 

 

If you have any feedback, let us know.
