VO attribute profile
by Krzysztof Benedyczak 15 Apr '08

15 Apr '08

Dear All, I've read the minutes from your last meeting and I'm aware about the formal problems that arise around Valerio's and my SAML-VO attribute profile. Nevertheless I hope it is still OK to post here the next proposition for further discussion. Especially as changes are mostly a result of your comments. So the next draft, is in attachment. The most important change is application of Tom's proposition to use URL instead of '@' notation. I'm awaiting your feedback. Best regards, Krzysztof
