[gin-auth] Re: Create a VO for MultiGrid team ?

[Dane Skow]

Thanks for the ping Erwin. I'm sorry for the slow response. Yes, I  
think we should take you up on the offer. I've done a quick survey of  
those who mentioned interest in running a VOMS and the other options  
would have greater startup delays and effort. I like the "GIN" name.   
Oscar can you let us know when this is setup and how to register  
people's certificates ? Once we have this ready, we should announce  
it to the full GIN at ggf.org list since the other groups will likely  
want to start registering too.

To be clear, we want both VOMS functions (right?):  to be able to  
generate a list of DNs (for constructing a gridmapfile snippet) and  
the ability to generate VOMS authorization attributes so people can  
use whichever
combination they need to get started. I think we'll likely have a mix  
of gridmapfiles and authorization service calls for a while yet.
