glite-VOBOX

Version 3.2.13-1 - Priority Normal - Details - Patch #5266

For version 2.0.2 all the lcg-vobox code has been completely overhauled to deal with various issues:

  • The proxy renewal mini DB can get corrupted by a race condition, requiring it to be removed and the proxies to be re-registered. The new vobox-proxy command automatically converts any existing DB into a set of human-readable files in a "data" subdirectory.
  • The voms-proxy-init command can hang indefinitely, which has caused registered proxies to expire on various occasions at various sites. The new code has a timeout + retry loop around the command. (bug #77598)
  • The myproxy-get-delegation command can fail when the Globus or MyProxy port range is defined. The new code ensures those variables are unset.
  • The new "voname-box-proxyrenewal" service has more robust start and stop behavior. (bug #36766, bug #47204)
  • The daemon runs under an "sgm" account, so it can accidentally be killed by that user. However, currently only root can restart the "voname-box-proxyrenewal" service. The new code allows the sgm user to restart the service as well.
