I think it would be OK if we can restrict the list of workflows it can run, I think the player supports that. It would mean pick-any-wf from myExperiment wouldn't work though..
Otherwise we can at least create Player (or is that Server..?) accounts for all the Taverna committers; as we already have shell access to other machines we are supposedly already trusted :-) Is it possible to use LDAP authentication from the player..? Could anyone remind me again as to why the Mobile app doesn't use Taverna server directly..? On 20 Oct 2016 3:54 pm, "Ian Dunlop" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello > > Sounds like a good idea to me.
