Hi gridshib-user,

maybe you can answer me some questions concerning
current state of GridShib.

Have the current releases been tested with the Shibboleth IdP 2.0? Are 
they working with SAML1 of the new IdP? What about support of SAML2 in 
the different pieces of software, especially GridShibCA and SAML Tools?

Can you make a rough estimate about the next release of GridShibCA? What 
parts of GridShib will be updated next after SAML Tools 0.5.0 and 
upcoming GS4GT 0.6.1? The roadmap is not totally up-to-date.

What about GridShibCA and CRL? I noted that the new profile for SLCS 
managed by the TAGPMA (version 2.1) states CRL as a must and not as 
could have anymore?
In general I would like to know if it's one of GridShibs aims to conform 
to this profile. I think it needs to to be used within productive Grid 
environments?

Using current GridShib releases, is it possible to separate the CA 
backend and the web front-end? If not, do you plan to simplify this? I 
guess this separation is needed to conform to the SLCS profile?


Thanks and regards,
Benjamin
