Hi,
The Grid and Web Services Working Group is pleased to announce that the Single Sign-On Profile: Authentication Mechanisms document is now an IVOA Proposed Recommendation and that a Request For Comments (RFC) period has been initiated today (July 17), with the goal of advancing the document to an IVOA Recommendation. As we are now in vacation season, the RFC period will run until August 31.
The document describes the authentication mechanisms that we approve for use in a single sign-on architecture and provides normative rules for their implementation.
Please review the document, and add any comments to the RFC page at
http://www.ivoa.net/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/SsoRFC
More extensive discussions should be directed to the GWS working group mailing list (grid-at-ivoa.net). The most recent version of the document can be found at
http://www.ivoa.net/Documents/latest/SSOAuthMech.html
Please submit any comments by 31 August 2007. Thanks in advance for your contributions.
