All,
Recall last week I took an action to ask
Ian for info on the post-WS GT security documentation. Here is Ian’s
response. I took a quick look and found a rich description of the API’s,
but have been unsuccessful so far finding the wire format schema. The
overview is a good starting point.

Andrew:
Here is the top-level link to the latest security documentation: http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/development/4.2-drafts/security/index.html
.
Specifically:
http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/development/4.2-drafts/security/message/developer/index.html#message-developer-archdes
http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/development/4.2-drafts/security/message/message-public-interfaces.html
http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/development/4.2-drafts/security/GT4-GSI-Overview.pdf.
(It has not been reviewed recently, but based on a quick look only the
authorization piece has been significantly changed/enhanced.)
Ian.

Last week in the OGSA call there was a discussion of
security profiles. We were trying to find documentation on the post web
services GT GSI, and could not. If you know of some documentation – or
better yet specification of the message contents, etc., we would love to get a
pointer.
Thanks
