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
