SciencePAD is currently in its early design and prototyping phase. Most of the functionality of this site is under development and it is not as automated or user friendly as we plan it to be for the final production version. Your contributions to the site with new registrations of users, organizations, collaborations and software, comments and new ideas are warmly welcome. For more information make sure to check the current SciencePAD Roadmap

gLExec

gLExec

gLExec is a program that acts as a light-weight 'gatekeeper'. it takes Grid credentials as input, and takes the local site policy into account to authenticate and authorize the credentials. It will then switch to a new execution sandbox and execute the given command as the switched identity. gLExec is also capable of functioning as a light-weight control point which offers a binary yes/no result in logging-only mode.
