For a long time, we have been using the concept of community users and community user credentials which were shared by all the users in the gateway when connecting to compute and storage resources.
But now we have a new requirement where each user will have his/her own login information for compute and storage resources and when connecting, Airavata should use that user specific login and authentication information. We have two use cases at the moment. 1. Ultrascan Julich compute resource: This particular compute resource does not support the notion of community user concept and every user should use their own credentials when submitting jobs to Julich (We are planning not to use Unicore for Julich in the future). 2. Bio team user-specific storage resources: Currently, we have one storage resource for the entire gateway where all the user inputs and outputs are staged. But in the Bio team use case users want to provide URI paths for inputs which are available on a different servers and does not want to stage those files back to the gateway data store because of the size. In this case, we are using user-specific storage resource configurations to read those files.
