[ogsa-wg] [ogsa-authn-bof] Authentication in OGSA

[Alan Sill]

As a correction, let me point out that the OGSA-AuthN BOF is intended  
to provide a process for moving forward from existing efforts in  
AuthN, and does not have the role that you imply here.

The basic features of GSI and related technologies are well  
documented and clearly spelled out in existing literature.  I was,  
and am, focusing on grid (specifically grid services) authentication  
here.
