Agree as well. I would propose to not allow the host "localhost" (on
the SSO servers part, if possible), as this only leads to problems.

Is there a common test-user that everybody can use? The policies of
this user can be deleted from time to time. I started to use 'test'
and/or 'anonymous' for test runs with Ambit/Ntua/Tum, and I cannot
promise to keep track of all created policies.

Martin
