Not sure if this will make it to 0.8, but I recently added HTTP authentication to all robust-bound connectors of internal grid services. HTTP authentication is not hard security, but it makes it much harder for unauthorized accesses to the grid services. (I, too, run a grid with simulators in different data centers.)

GRid Security?

Well there is a lacking of it. I been working on a ways to prevent grids/Simulators to connect to our network. Its built around allowing sims to authenticate with a configuration server that will open the door for them to connect to the grid services. But I not found a list of ports that need to open for clients to use, and been testing a list simulator ports to splite the services from the client to a public set of ports and the simulator a set of private port that can be open when they connect.

This would be easy if we did not allow trusted remote simulators to connect.

When I asked about security lasst I was given you keep the ports a secret and only give them out to people you trust.

A locked door is moor sure the a unlocked door behind a bush.

    A good firewall config will handle much of it.

        I dont know if exist or not this list but I think it would be
        very interesting.
        OpenSimulator is a "Alpha" declarated by developers but  I
        think that
        the project has enough maturity to start thinking seriously about
        security.
