Morris, Concerning the Authentication and Authorization plumbings, I completely agree on the principle : The 1-year goal of PGI is : - NOT that ALL grid Clients can use ALL grid Servers, - but that each grid Client can query the grid Information Service, in order to discover which grid Servers accept the Authentication and Authorization methods that the grid Client is able to use. - and to profile the Authentication and Authorization methods, in order to reduce the number of incompatible grid islands.
