perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Loukik Kudarimoti <>]

Candido,

Can you please help Rodesch with the Idp question?

Rodesch, to connect the MA to the AS, simply go to the Basic Service 
pages on web admin and choose to turn on Authentication. You will then 
need to provide the end point of your AS (the installation guide for AS 
describes what your access point or end point is). You can also choose 
the messages that require authentication. All the messages are listed 
and default and you can remove the ones that you don't want. For 
example: setupdatarequest deals with requests for data, 
metadatakeyrequest deals with discovery of metadata, echorequest deals 
with response to echo messages.

Loukik.
