Other issues

Status of the PT ID Cards

The page URT:UMD_products_ID_cards has not been edited (10:37 am), ok if the information are correct. Please, note that this will be used in ~ one year time to decommission unsupported software.

Status of the SHA-2 baseline versions page

• Page: SHA-2_support_middleware_baseline
• It cannot be edited by all the URT members, please contact me if there are corrections in the versions.
  • Updated the versions for: StoRM and dCache.
  • dCache reported that the support can be backported (to the previous golden release?).

Quality criterion: SHA-2 support to be critical

• From October 2013 EUGridPMA plans to start distributing in production SHA-2 based certificates
• Next version of the Quality Criteria document is due for September, in that version the sha-2 support criterion will be mandatory
• Middleware not supporting sha-2 will be unusable starting from October, UMD must provide this capability before the deadline.

Proposal:

1. All the products already in the UMD queue will consider the SHA-2 requirement as non-critical
   • If the product fails the SHA-2 test, it will be specified in the release notes with a disclaimer for the Site Administrators.
2. For every new product submitted to UMD - starting from today - the SHA-2 requirement will be considered mandatory.
   • RT ticket creation date >= 10 June 2013

Current situation:

• Currently there were no issues found during verification (for UMD-3) for SHA-2 support
