Hi, You say you are using Globus, is that standard Toolkit, either v1 or v2. Globus 3 is actually called Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA) and is built on web services. What is more OGSA has a proposed security architecture based on WS-Security. You can read it at:
http://www.globus.org/ogsa/Security/OGSA-SecArch-v1-07192002.pdf There aren't any obvious implementations available yet, but you could attempt to extend Axis to support WS-Security, you can use Apache's XML Security to do this. -----Original Message----- From: Joshua Gramlich [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 12 December 2002 20:34 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: WS-Security and Globus Hello all, I'm working on a project where we'd like to use Globus to secure a client server application. This application communicates via messages, passed through CORBA, to and from both client and server. My current investigations into both CORBA and the Globus toolkit tell me that Globus and CORBA don't jive. That is, not well, at least. So, what we'd like to do now is use Web Services instead of CORBA, but the A no. 1 reason we're even doing this (application re-write-ish thing) in the first place is because we want to add encryption and authentication to the current application. I found out about WS-Security on IBM's developerworks site and thought it might be useful. I don't suppose anyone has used Globus and WS-Security together yet? Any code samples pehaps?
