Hi

We have successfully protected GT4 Services using VOMS attributes.Please
follow the instruction given in the guide at:
<http://www.nikhef.nl/%7Edennisvd/ws_voms_authz_howto.pdf>
*http://www.nikhef.nl/~dennisvd/


*I want to know about Shibboleth Interoperability with Attribute Retrieval
through VOMS which is described in below doc:
https://edms.cern.ch/cedar/plsql/doc.info?document_id=807849

What is the advantage of using Shibboleth attributes in addition to
attributes given by VOMS?

Thanks
Arpit
