ARGUS 1.7.2

Argus is a system meant to render consistent authorization decisions for distributed services (e.g. compute elements, portals). In order to achieve this consistency a number of points must be addressed. First, it must be possible to author and maintain consistent authorization policies. This is handled by the Policy Administration Point (PAP) component in the service. Second, authored policies must be evaluated in a consistent manner, a task performed by the Policy Decision Point (PDP). Finally, the data provided for evaluation against policies must be consistent (in form and definition) and this is done by the Policy Enforcement Point (PEP).

Find more information on the web site.

The Argus 1.7.2 release provides a fix for an X.509 DN parsing problem in the PAP service. Look at the release notes for details

CGSI-gSOAP 1.3.11

CREAM 1.16.7

The CREAM (Computing Resource Execution And Management) Service is a simple, lightweight service that implements all the operations at the Computing Element (CE) level; its well-defined WebService-based interface and its implementation as an extension of the Java-Axis servlet (running inside the Apache Tomcat container) provide interoperability with clients written in any programming language and running on any computer platform.

The CREAM interface is well-defined using the Web Service Description Language (WSDL); anyone can generate his/her CREAM client by simply filling in the stub code generated by WSDL parser (gSOAP for C/C++, Axis for Java, Perl module for perl).

This release of CREAM fixes some issues with the latest version of Bouncycastle, CAnL and VOMS published in EPEL. Please carefully read the CREAM release notes as there are some workarounds to be applied after installing CREAM on SL6.
