perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Bockjoo Kim <>]

Hi,

Our research computing thinks requiring md5 auth is better than using 'peer' for local connections and 'ident' for host connections from localhost/localhost6 (for database users that aren't esmond or pscheduler - stock perfsonar config already required md5 for them).

Why is md5 auth not supported by perfsonar?

Thanks,

Bockjoo
