Hello all,

I have not taken notice of earlier parts of the conversation so forgive me if
I'm off base.

"why is the MA.conf file still necessary?"

MA.conf was retained for couple of reasons. (it has been discussed before
either internally
or on the dev list I can't recall. Some conclusions where made I'll list them
for as well as
I remember)

Stripping MA.conf method from psui in one go would be to abrupt on our users.
While psui is
gLS capable, we would want to allow some period where the functionally can be
matured as well
as deployments increase.

MA.conf still serves use, albeit in a somewhat evolved way, it would be
useful to allow
users/(small)usergroups to have access to their personal list of
favourite/frequently used
services. This could even evolve in to a locally hosted cached list of gls
entries.

Dynamically obtained service addresses should for the most part replace more
'statically'
MA.conf. The adoption rate here should be a direct indication as to the
quality of the
provided functionality. Additional stimulation above the added ease of use
that dynamically
obtaining service addresses brings, would only and frustrate the user.
Increasing awareness
is more the direction I would opt for. So don't say 'use this', but rather
'did you know..'
and gather feedback - improve the functionally - which should improve
adoption rate.

As I said I'm unaware of earlier messages - so I'll just ask: was there a
particular reason
gls didn't fit the requirements?

- Michael
