[Globus] PURSE makes user registration for Grid applications easy

[Lee Liming]

On behalf of the Grids Center and Globus Alliance we are pleased to 
announce the release of PURSE: Portal-based User Registration System, 
which is now available for download.  PURSE is a system for registering 
users of Web-based applications that use the Grid Security 
Infrastructure (based on PKI and X.509 certificates). PURSE coordinates 
the process of establishing Grid security certificates for new users 
when logging in to an application web site. Users who already have 
valid certificates can also easily register with the portal 
applications. By leveraging the MyProxy certificate repository, PURSE 
shields web application users from the complexities of X.509 
certificate management, and enables rapid registration of users.
