Hi,

We are evaluating how GRAM5 would work in the Australian ARCS Grid and
New Zealand BeSTGRID.

I have deployed GRAM5 in an environment where we are mapping multiple
users (different DNs) from the same VO to a single shared account.

We are getting some errors... which look like clashes of different
credentials (different DNs) under the same job manager.

>From what I could find in the documentation:
http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/5.0/5.0.0/execution/key/#execution-approach

: Job Manager: The globus-job-manager daemon processes job requests and
coordinates file transfers.
:   There is one long-lived instance of this per user per LRM and one
short-lived instance per job.

The problem might be that we are using GRAM5 in a way which is not
really supported - mapping different grid identities to a shared account.

The problems we are getting are:

* when one user (grid identity, DN) submits a job, everything works fine
* When another user (different DN) submits a job while the first one is
still active, things start to break:

** globusrun does not receive job status update notifications
** even when cancelling a job (Ctrl-C), globusrun does not receive the
confirm the job was cancelled

Could someone please confirm if GRAM5 job manager can handle multiple
identities (DNs) under the same local account?

Or what settings need to be put in place to make it work?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Cheers,
Vladimir
