Deployed ASes

At this time, there are some Authentication Services available:

   * AS 1.0 [stable]: 
http://homer.rediris.es:8080/perfSONAR-AS/services/AuthService
   * AS 1.1 [stable]: 
http://homer.rediris.es:8080/geant2-java-as-1.1/services/AuthService
   * AS 1.2 [in testing]: 
http://homer.rediris.es:8080/geant2-java-as-1.2/services/SimpleService
