Since SGE separates the roles of submit hosts and execution hosts, I've set up my environment so that user workstations and my cluster nodes are using the same Linux distro. This allows users to program/compile/debug/test on their workstations without having to ssh into the cluster and do this work on a cluster node. When they are satisfied their program works as desired, they can easily submit a job to the cluster and check on its status from their desktop. Using CSP allows them to submit their job over an encrypted channel, which is ALWAYS a good practice, and it provides strong(er) authentication. It could be argued that a clusters private network is protected and any traffic on it doesn't need to be protected by encryption, but in my environment, there's plenty of traffic between the head node and submit hosts that's not on the cluster's private network. Does that make sense?
