> I've just upgraded the eduGAIN validator on technical.edugain.org site.
> The new version uses the Shibboleth MDA 1.0.0 and pyFF 2.1.5, it also 
> includes a few fixes to better handle element values containing wrong 
> "anyURI" value.
> The new validator code relies on the newest python cryptography package 
> which is more strict while parsing ASN1 values in a certificate and a wrong 
> ASN1 value generates an exception.
> For now in such a case the validator shows the warning for an affected 
> entityId which says: "A certificate has a problem and can't be loaded and 
> analysed."
> There is now only one entityId in the eduGAIN feed which has such a problem 
> (the federation in question has been notified).
> 
> The newest validator code will be also used in the aggregation process 
> starting from Monday 18th.
