Hi!

I just released version 1.0.4 of vpn-lib-common. A shared component for
all of the eduVPN code base.

The big change here is that any value for user ID is accepted now. The
user ID attribute can only come from two locations: a static
configuration file, or a trusted IdP.

This particular change was needed because until now only "normal"
characters were seen in the wild as user IDs. We ran into an IdP that
Base64 encoded the "persistent NameID" so we had the extend the
acceptable syntax a bit. Reading the SAML specification turned out that
any UTF-8/UCS value is acceptable.

To install the update(s):

    $ sudo yum clean expire-cache && sudo yum -y update

Let me know if you have any questions!

Cheers,
François
