Subject: VOMS servers need old build of EGI-trustanchors
Dear all
This broadcast concerns sites that manage a VOMS server with VOMS-ADMIN
administrative interface.
A problem has been found where sites upgraded their VOMS server to the
latest version of the trust anchors (CA 1.38+) and subsequently the VOMS
Administrative Interface (VOMS-ADMIN) fails to start. We are presently
working to understand the issue.
This does not affect the VOMS server itself, but solely the admin interface.
The quick fix is for the VOMS server admins to replace the default
EGI trust anchor repository by the following temporary repository
http://egi-igtf.ndpf.info/distribution/egi/current-old/
which can be configured using the following Yum repo file. Please keep the
following in mind:
- only the VOMS ADMIN server is affected. This change DOES NOT apply to other
services at this point, and unless you are affected by this issue you
should NOT change the trust anchor repository
- Only ONE repository can be configured at any one time. Before
configuring the legacy repository, you MUST DISABLE the default repo
(by setting "enabled=0" in the repo.d file)
- You CANNOT upgrade from the default repo to the legacy repo or vice-versa.
Before changing, you must de-install the previous "ca_*" packages and all of
the meta-packages "lcg-CA", "ca-policy-egi-core" and/or "ca-policy-lcg"
The legacy repo.d file should read:
[EGI-trustanchors-historic]
name=EGI-trustanchors-historic
baseurl=http://egi-igtf.ndpf.info/distribution/egi/current-old/
gpgkey=http://repository.egi.eu/sw/production/cas/1/GPG-KEY-EUGridPMA-RPM-3
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
This repository is made available on a temporary basis and should not be
configured as a permanent site setting. It should not be applied to non VOMS
services.
