[gin-auth] VO name change

Thanks, Oscar, for checking!

The DN is the same, but "seen" differently by different 
versions of GT. GT2 formats it as USERID= and GT3&4 
formats it as UID=. I learned this, since PRAGMA testbed 
sites are running a mixture of GT2,3,4.
What we do in PRAGMA testbed is to add a DN in both format
in the gridmap file, so even when GT get upgraded, you 
don't have to worry about it. Perhaps you can do the same?

Let me know and I can then test it again.

Our SDSC CA admin also pointed out that a signing_policy 
file which will recognize the OID 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.1
as either UID or USERID is linked off the CA web page:
http://www.sdsc.edu/CA/.

Thanks,

Cindy
