Dear all,
EUGridPMA has announced a new set of CA RPMs, which have been packaged for EGI based on this IGTF release.
This is a regular update. Please upgrade as soon as possible by 2025.06.16. When this time is over, SAM will throw critical errors on CA tests if old CAs are still detected.
The following release notes accompany this version:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
European Grid Infrastructure EGI Trust Anchor release 1.136 2025.06.09
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For release DOCUMENTATION available on this EGI Trust Anchor release, see
the EGI operations manual HOWTO-01 at https://edu.nl/envyq
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the EGI Trust Anchor release, based on the updated IGTF Accredited CA
distribution version 1.136-1 with the specific DOGWOOD CA in
meta-package "ca-policy-egi-combined-adequacy-model-1.136-1"
that supports the model of joint assurance provision as detailed in the
EGI Policy on Acceptable Authentication Assurance.
The following notices are republished from the IGTF, inasfar as pertinent to
this release. Details are found in the newsletter https://www.eugridpma.org/
Changes from 1.135 to 1.136
---------------------------
(9 June 2025)
* Added new CESNET CA Gen5 hierarchy and new off-line Root 2 (CZ)
* Withdrawn retired CILogon CAs cilogon-basic and cilogon-silver (US)
* a new version of the generation-4 package signing key is now included that
uses a SHA-256 digest function for its self-signature. Fingerprint and key
material is otherwise identical: 565F4528EAD3F53727B5A2E9B055005676341F1A.
The CA modifications encoded in both "requires" and "obsoletes" clauses (RPM)
and Conflicts/Replaced clauses (Debian) have been incorporated in the above-
mentioned meta-packages. This release is best enjoyed with fetch-crl v3 or
better, available from GNU/Linux OS add-on repositories Fedora, EPEL, Debian,
and from the IGTF at https://www.igtf.net/fetch-crl
Policy on Acceptable Authentication Assurance
---------------------------------------------
If a Community or e-Infrastructure registration service is accredited by EGI
to meet the approved authentication assurance level, also an IGTF "DOGWOOD"
accredited Authority, used in combination with such a service, is sufficient.
HOWTO01, https://edu.nl/envyq#combined-assuranceadequacy-model has the details.
TECHNICALLY THIS MEANS ...
that you must ONLY install the new ca-policy-egi-cam packages if you ALSO
at the same time implement VO-specific authorisation controls in your
software stack. This may require reconfiguration or a software update.
OTHERWISE
just ONLY install or update the regular ca-policy-egi-core package. There
are no changes in this case. The ca-policy-egi-core package is approved for
all VOs membership and assurance models. No configuration change is needed.
Version information: ca-policy-egi-combined-adequacy-model = 1.136-1
