Subject: [OGSA-AUTHZ] GFD 157
Message-ID: <4B1FD30B.6030905@kent.ac.uk>

Dear All

as part of the EC TAS3 project we have built an open source standalone 
web service that supports both GFD 157 and GFD 159. The alpha release of 
the package is available here for download and use.

http://sec.cs.kent.ac.uk/permis/downloads/Level3/standalone.shtml

This standalone server can be configured with different policies, so 
that the PEP can utilise different access control and credential 
validation policies on different service requests. GFD 159 already 
contains support for indicating which (access control) policy should be 
used. GFD 157 does not.

Consequently we have recently made an enhancement to GFD 157 to allow 
the PEP to say which credential validation policy it wants the 
standalone server to use. The enhancement to GFD 157 is in the attached 
file for the group to consider

regards

David

Dear All

a list member has remarked that the URL that I pointed to in my last 
message is not available to everyone, but it is, if you first register 
yourself here

http://sec.cs.kent.ac.uk/permis/essentials/register.shtml

The reason is that you have to agree to the license terms for the binary 
release since we include IAIK code which is only freely available for 
research and academic purposes and not for commercial use.

Our open source code however at www.openpermis.org does not include the 
IAIK source code and therefore there is no need to register first for 
this. However you then have to compile and load everything yourself,

regards

David
