Hello All,
 
I'm working on a project that entails integrating the Globus Toolkit with 
Siteminder security.  The purpose of the project is to use Siteminder to handle 
the validation/verification of all security credentials (x.509 certificates) 
over a single port. (443/TCP)  All the rest of the ports on the server will be 
locked down and limited to localhost, I.E. 8443/TCP will listen on 127.0.0.1.  
 
The current plan calls for IIS, with a Siteminder plug-in to listen on port 
443/TCP and read incoming 3rd party x.509 certificates destined for Globus 
services.  Once access is granted, the traffic would then be forwarded to 
Tomcat via AJP on port 8009/TCP.  Traffic sent to 8009/TCP will be redirected 
to Globus WS-Core listening on 8443/TCP.
 
So far every attempt to reach Globus via this setup has failed.  We have 
verified that Globus can directly handle 3rd party certificates but we are 
running into issues when it comes to Siteminder handling this task.  Has anyone 
had any success with a Siteminder/Globus integration?
 

Thanks in advance...

Dan Washington
