[news.eclipse.technology.ohf] Re: XCA with NIST's public registry

[Sarah Knoop <seknoop@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Ah that list ----

Correct - no we have not tested with this -- but we can sure try. Second 
- the bridge does not implement either gateway so it needs to connect to 
an initiating gateway. We have XCA support (to the extent documented, ie 
management of the homeCommunityId) on our XDS.b consumer -- and I 
believe this is made invokable at the bridge level via the rhio config 
when you set an xca gateway id (and endpoints) for a rhio. Matt would 
have more insight - but I don't think, yet, we allow for a stored query 
to be directed at a gateway via the bridge. The retrive document set in 
the bridge uses the underlying java plugin algorithm that gives 
precidence to retriving the document set via the gateway, when this bit 
of information is present.
