Unlocking Grid Security Complexity
In enterprise environments, it is rather trivial to get web servers, scripting languages, databases and common systems up and running. In many OS distributions, these systems are a check box option in a simple admin GUI.
Not so with Grid computing, where intricate security dependencies can really complicate things.
Here's a link to an IBM developerWorks tutorial that highlights some of these complex dependencies and discusses a unique approach, the Grid Accounts Management Architecture (GAMA) to unify Grid security components and present a more concise interface for Grid deployment. Tools like GAMA are bringing the goal of Grid ubiquity closer to reality. The entire set of articles in this "Building a Unified Grid" series is a great reference for enterprise developers building an end-to-end Grid process.
