PTPFlow Hosting Requirements
- The service stack will only run on UNIX-type systems (LINUX, AIX, MacOS).
- Ideally, the host or cloud should have GSISSH enabled; but this would not be essential (a normal SSH connection from the Eclipse client also being possible).
- Must not be behind firewall; or if it is, must maintain selected open ports for RMI (and optionally, GridFTP) use (the server should be accessible via externally initiated connections both from the UI client as well as the compute hosts).
- The user should have a regular account on that machine.
- Given that this service runs in single user mode, it need only be initialized with an X509 (or similar credential) once;
- No ACLs are necessary on the service calls, since only one person will be authorized to use it.
- No grid-mapfile is necessary on the service host (for similar reasons).
- X509 authentication and proxy refreshing through MyProxy server, as usual.
- Platform should have Java 1.5+ on it.
