Hi,
I would like to know if the MyProxy callout from Globus Connect Multiple
User (GCMU) was included in GT 5.2.0. Otherwise, how can I use it with this
Globus version?
Thanks very much !

Hi,
Now we would like to do the opposite way, an external script (instead of

The MyProxy callout is used in Globus Connect Multiple User (GCMU), and it
will basically authorize any user with a DN that matches those generated by
the MyProxy CA, and has a CN equal to a UNIX login.
So for example, if your MyProxy generates DNs like this:
O=My Organization, OU=My Department
And GridFTP gets a valid certificate with this DN:
O=My Organization, OU=My Department, CN=fabio
Then the MyProxy callout with authorize that DN and will map it to the UNIX
user "fabio".
However, I'm not sure if the callout was included in GT5.2 or whether it's
currently only being included as part of GCMU. I suggest asking on the
gt-user mailing list:

Cheers!
