perfsonar development work

[Nina Jeliazkova <>]

Hi Candido,

The client, directly communicating with the web service (e.g. 
perfsonarUI) will need to use certificates or user credentials, in order 
to use the secure connection. Will  these will be different from GIdP 
authentication?  If using certificates, could you clarify the procedure 
to issuing certificates and ensuring each perfsonarUI user have a valid one?

Best regards,
Nina
