Shibboleth Developers

I owe this group a revised list of GridShib "touch points", which I
will provide Real Soon Now.  In the meantime, here is a brief project
update:

- Release of GridShib Beta is imminent.  Von arrives back in town
tomorrow at which time the team will discuss next steps, but I expect
we will be pushing the Beta out the door within one week.

- GridShib Beta consists of two components, one for GT and another for
Shib.  The components may be installed and tested separately.

- GridShib for GT depends on GT 4.0.  GridShib for Shib depends on Shib 1.3.

- GridShib for Shib depends on the Shib 1.3 install process.  (Thanks
to Chad for developing and maintaining this system.)  We will
initially distribute the plugin with test.ext=false (and continue the
discussion re testing scenarios).

- The following will accompany this beta release:
  + a completely new web site
  + a number of command-line tools that test a GridShib-aware AA
  + fully documented IdP and SP metadata templates (but no tools)
  + a backward-compatible replacement for
X509SubjectNameNameIdentifierMapping (including unit tests)
  + an extensible name mapping API

I'll keep you posted.
