The meeting is dedicated to addressing the issue of co-existence of IGTF and system CAs.

1. After discussing use cases and various options, it was decided to implement the solution of "fake issuer", described in Bug #4121. Effectively, the approach is to cache public keys of needed IdPs using arcctl. This will not be done automatically, but upon request by sysadmins, who can devise a cron calling arcctl every day or so to make sure that the keys are not revoked. 
2. This also requires bug #4134 to be resolved.
3. The third action point is to finalise Test CA script for tokens.

Once these APs are fixed, token support is in a good shape for ARC7.

A clear text in arc.conf.reference must be written, explaining all the consequences of switching from IGTF to system CAs.

authtoken block was decided to be removed in Umeaa, presumably is implemented (to be checked), see bug #4122, also #4120. arc.conf.reference needs to be updated accordingly.
