InCommon HTTP/SSL certificates

We will be replacing various DOEGrids-issued HTTP/SSL certificates with our new UserTrust/InCommon-issued certificates. Affected services are myosg, oim, software, ticket, and twiki. InCommon certificates are trusted on all major browsers by default and do not require users to manually trust our certificates anymore. In order to ensure a smooth transition, please start testing them on our ITB instances.

New Service: GratiaWeb

The Gratia graph service is now available from the GOC at http://gratiaweb.grid.iu.edu The previous instance http://t2.unl.edu/gratia/ currently forwards to the GOC site. If you are using the old URL, please update to http://gratiaweb.grid.iu.edu
New Service: “Planet OSG” - Blog Aggregator

OSG Planet service is now available from the GOC at http://blogs.grid.iu.edu
This service allows you to read blogs written by people from the Open Science Grid community by aggregating various blogs into a single URL. You can read them directly on this URL, or via your favorite Atom/RSS reader by subscribing to its feeds.
All Services: Operating System Upgrades

We will be installing updated packages from Redhat for all production systems. This will mean downtime, although in the case of the BDII service, we will use the DNS round-robin to direct traffic to the currently unaffected server. These OS updates have already been installed on all ITB systems, and you are encouraged to test them.
