URC Plug-in for Shibboleth v1.0 released

[Shiraz Memon-2]

Dear all,

I am proud to announce the first release of URC plug-in for Shibboleth. It can be downloaded from:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/unicore/files/ then go to: 2 UNICORE 6 Clients, Applications, and APIs -> 2.5 Extras -> Shibboleth

The plug-in includes the following features:

* option to specify GridShib-CA http URL

* Selecting the Federations and corresponding Identity Providers (IdP)

* Allowing user to sign-in with their home institution’s IdP by inputting the username and password

* Downloading and saving a SLC (Short Lived Certificate) from GridShib-CA (while specifying the certificate alias and lifetime in hours) directly   into the user’s Keystore

For more information refer README.pdf inside the distribution bundle.

Thanks to all who helped in testing and debugging the plug-in.
