[omniORB] Periodic OmniORB & Security Service inquiry

[david fox]

Someone I work with has been building a distributed application using omniORB, and I've been asked to look at adding user
authentication and access control to the prototype. I'm new to Corba, but I see that the "Corba Security Service" specification
looks like there will some day be a useful standardized framework for doing things just like this. 

In searching the omniORB mailing list archives, it looks like someone pops up every couple years to ask about the security
service, and so now it's my turn. 

Has anyone been working on security service related issues since the last mention I see on the list in November 1999? 

Is anyone working on adding Interceptor support, which seems to be useful (if not quite necessary, apparently) for implementing
the security service? 

How about IIOP over SSL changes? I see some messages from June 2000 that seem to suggest that several people were working on (or
thinking of working on) adding IIOP over SSL support. Did anything come of that? 

Thanks very much.
