mod_gridsite Description

mod_gridsite is a loadable module for the Apache web server which provides access control and page formatting for GridSite. mod_gridsite is a loadable module for the Apache web server which provides access control and page formatting for GridSite HTTP(S) Fileservers, Websites and Web Services hosts. mod_gridsite also intercepts some processing in the standard mod_ssl module to support GSI Proxies and VOMS attribute certificates, as well as the normal X.509 client certificates.The verification of these credentials is handled by functions within mod_gridsite and the main GridSite shared library, without the need to patch or rebuild mod_ssl.GridSite was originally a web application developed for managing and formatting the content of the GridPP website. Over the past three years it has grown into a set of extensions to the Apache web server and a toolkit for Grid credentials, GACL access control lists and HTTP(S) protocol operations.In its simplest application, GridSite uses X.509 certificates loaded into unmodified versions of web browsers like Internet Explorer, Netscape or Mozilla to authenticate users, and then grants read and write authorization on this basis. HTML and text files can be edited within a browser window, or pages and binary files can be uploaded from local disk. Requirements: · Apache 2.x
