2. Changes Summary

  • Updated GPT package from 3.6 to 3.7.
  • Verify that credentials in the myproxy-server repository are still valid (i.e., not revoked) before performing delegation
  • Added myproxy-admin-query --invalid option for listing, locking, or removing invalid credentials from repository
  • Optionally check OCSP status of stored credentials before performing delegation via myproxy-server.config ocsp settings; requires GT 3.2 (OpenSSL 0.9.7) or later
  • Updated etc.init.d.myproxy script to use pidfile to locate server to stop (rather than searching ps output), include a restart option, and exit with error if $GLOBUS_LOCATION isn't set
  • If the myproxy-server hostname given by $MYPROXY_SERVER or the -s option resolves to multiple IP addresses, clients will connect to each address until a connection is established or all fail
  • Added accepted_credentials_mapapp call-out version of accepted_credentials_mapfile in myproxy-server.config
  • Now support unencrypted, although still signed, Pubcookie granting cookies as passwords
  • Added myproxy-server.config syslog_ident option
  • Improved MyProxy CA logging
  • Added myproxy-server --listen to specify host/ip to bind to

3. Bug Fixes

  • Bug 280: fix handling of usernames containing '/', '-', and '.' characters; note this required a change to the myproxy-server repository format, so credential data files written by a new myproxy-server won't be readable by an older myproxy-server

4. Known Problems

  • Bug 2709: The MyProxy package isn't internationalized.
