EMI 3 VOMS drops support for YAIM. The voms-configure
utility must be used instead to manage
deployment and reconfiguration of the VOMS services.
More details in the System Admininistrator Guide.
VOMS Admin server v. 3.0.0 introduces a new deployment model for the service. The VOMS Admin service does not run anymore as a web application in the Tomcat application server but as a separate standalone daemon process. In particular, one daemon process runs for each configured VO, as it happens for VOMS core service.
More details in the System Admininistrator Guide.
Version 3.0.0 is a complete redesign of the VOMS Java APIs based on the EMI Common Authentication Library. Services and clients that want to move to this version will need to adapt their code to the new API. More information on this in the Java API developer guide.
Note that Java APIs v. 2.0.10 are still released in EMI 3 to support those clients that did not yet start the migration to the new API. The new APIs are packaged in a way that does not conflict conflict with the old APIs, so both versions can be installed on a given host at the same time.
Version 3.0.0 is a complete redesign of the VOMS clients based on the new VOMS Java API v. 3.0.0. The new clients maintain the same interface as the 2.0.x ones, so scripts that work with the old clients will work also with the new ones. However the output from the scripts has changed to provide more useful information so scripts that rely on a specific formatting of the output from the commands may fail. Some functionality (unused in production AFAWK) has been dropped.
In particular, from voms-proxy-init
the following options have been removed:
-include
-includeac
-separate
-list
-policy
-pl
-globus
From voms-proxy-info
the following options have been removed:
-dont-verify-ac
