Grid Account Management Architecture, GAMA, provides an end-to-end security infrastructure suitable for multi-institution collaborations with support for grid computing, cloud computing, and web portals. It makes grid portals easy to use, but maintains the security and delegation capabilities of GSI. GAMA consists of two components, a backend security service that provides secure management of credentials, and a front-end set of portlets that provide tight integration into web/grid portals.
The BIRN CC operates this tool for the BIRN community; however, BIRN does not package it for community download. This tool is available publicly here: http://code.google.com/p/gamav2/
For questions about the use of GAMA in BIRN, contact Rachana Ananthakrishnan (ranantha at mcs.anl.gov).
