Oops, you're right, this isn't very informative at all. I copied the RFS template and forgot to fill in a full description. The short descriptions have been fixed in the control file so that will be in the next version. LCMAPS is middleware for the Grid; it is a pluggable framework that takes credentials as input (X.509 proxy certificates with VOMS extensions) and outputs the user and group identity to use with the credentials. This allows for multi-domain user authentication and mapping. To use LCMAPS you need at least a client application (such as a Globus Toolkit gridftp daemon) and one or more plugins (packaged separately). For more information see https://www.nikhef.nl/pub/projects/grid/gridwiki/index.php/Site_Access_Control How about that? Is that a reasonable description?
