However, one of the continuing challenges of the Grid software is to accommodate legacy mechanisms and policies. To make an existing scientific application "grid-aware", one must address issues related to security, I/O, scalability, licensing, etc., that often require non-trivial modifications. To truly be successful and a ubiquitous global computing infrastructure, the Grid must require fewer modifications to existing behaviors, particularly the manner in which scientists are accustomed to interacting ∗ J.

N2 - In many ways, the ultimate success of the Grid will be highly dependent on the support for and integration with existing legacy infrastructure such as authentication infrastructure. This paper describes the design and implementation of the integration of Pubcookie, a popular Web-based authentication infrastructure used on campuses, and MyProxy, the on-line credential repository for the Grid. Specifically, we enable a valid Pubcookie credential to be dynamically exchanged for a Grid credential, without requiring the user to reauthenticate. Through this integration, this project makes an important contribution to an overall goal of single sign-on and more specifically the ability to "authenticate locally and act globally".
