Hi Etienne, thanks for the research.
- 1) OpenSSL and GSI are really incompatible as transport layers.
Confirmed, mainly because the do GSI/HTTP making it HTTPG basically...
- 2) But they now accept exactly the same RFC compliant X509 proxies.
Good news - and helpful for GridFTP probably - so you may use openssl proxies with GridFTP, so GSI is not required anymore for GridFTP then...
- 3) Old-style GSI X509 proxies are obsolete, and their usage should be forbidden
That's clear.
- I suggest that you provide information 2 and 3 at the beginning of the first slide 'TLS with GSI Proxies'.
I will do it.

Hi PGI team,
I received some contributions already and setup a first draft for the slides I will present tomorrow!
They are in GridForge - so please comment the whole day today:
http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/docman/do/downloadDocument/projects.pgi-wg/doc...
The discussions about attributes and constraints I will start just after the coffee break here. ;-)
Best regards from Zuerich, Morris
