    • Fixed a security bug in the way certificate/proxy DN(s) are handled. If you are upgrading the installation rather than full install, you should patch the condor_mapfile used by Condor daemons in your installation using the convert_condormap tool available from the glideinWMS download page. For additional security, users should add new DN to the condor_mapfile only by using the glidecondor_addDN tool available in the glideinWMS/install directory.
