Abstract
Grid savvy credential management is a vital component in the process of developing user accessible grid resources. In order to facilitate secure single sign-on accros distributed systems a trusted credential repository can be leveraged by multiple security domains.
GridAuth manages user credentials in a secure system allowing for seamless integration with existing distributed resources. This paper describes the GridAuth architecture design, implementation and deployment. GridAuth is currently deployed in NEES to manage all authentication, authorization and auditing.
