Kang Tang started at Oxford this week.

David has worked on MyProxy and a Shibbolized Proxy upload. Establised a semi-production IdP at RAL. An architecture document describes attributes and how they turn into attributes at DN.

Does Oxford IdP issue the same attributes (do names need changing?). Should we set up a simple version for the project? Solving Oxford's IdP issues is out of scope. But we want a near-production facility. '''Action: Kang to investigate.'''

== Wiki ==

Everyone seems happy to use the ESP-Grid Wiki, provided:

 * either the open access for editing is restricted, or there is good version control, or both.
 * we establish a better structure for ShibGrid
 * files can be uploaded.

'''Action: Andrew check with Mark.'''

== Architecture Document ==

David has produced an outline architecture and implemented a prototype. A SSO myProxy server is deployed at RAL already. How many myProxy servers are needed? Just one? Logically, you would allow a choice, but we need not bother for now. Organisationally, the myProxy server is part of the NGS, along with the portal. Other services could use it if authorized.

You could call out from myProxy to VOMS, and so get role in certificate. This is an optional extra step.
