The primary VOMS use case is depicted here: http://www.globus.org/grid_software/security/voms.php In the figure, the blue cloud represents a Globus service protected with the VOMS interceptors for GT4: http://dev.globus.org/wiki/Incubator/VOMS Recently, VOMS has implemented a SAML interface: http://repository.omii-europe.org/downloads/project.jsp?projectid=7 So there is interest in a generic attribute-based security context in GT4: http://dev.globus.org/wiki/GridShib_Security_Table At that point, the source of attributes (VOMS, Shibboleth, GridShib, etc.) wouldn't matter. Hope this helps, Tom
