Hi Amila,

Yes this sounds fine to me. But it will work under the assumption of gateway id 
being unique. May be we can maintain a wiki page with registered gateway id's. 
Can you please refer to [1] which discuss this issues of mapping end users with 
gateway identifiers.

If you refer to examples at [2], are you proposing to create Entity ID's or 
Gateway DNS Domain in the format gateway.airavata.org? 

Cheers,
Suresh
