[AG-DEV] Identity certificates

[Luis Galárraga]

Greetings:

I am part of project for developing a webinar infraestructure based on
Access Grid. After a long discussion in which suggestions in this mailing
list were strongly considered, we have decided to implement a simple client
for venues (in servers 3.x) using Java Web Start Apps. As you can see, there
are many things to do, and developers have started by making tests with the
soap interfaces in the our AG server, however they are not clear about the
concepts behind the authentication process. We know AG uses digital
certificates for everything: users and services and those certificates are
generated by AG developers (after a process request). Can our developer team
generate certificates signed by us or it is required your sign? Several
people in our university will probably use the system so we would like to
have the privilege to generate the certificates. Could someone explain us in
a better way, the technical issues behind authentication based on
certificates (= how you implemented it)?. I hope you can help us.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,
Luis Galárraga
