This API is a secure method for read access to the XDCDB database customized for specific use cases.  The API is presently designed to support three agents: spacct, userinfo and xdusage. The API acts on behalf of these agents to make queries in the XSEDE Central Database (XDCDB) and return the results of those queries to the agent.  This API also supports gateway attribute submission, but the interface is different than that for the agents.  See complete documentation at https://xsede-xdcdb-api.xsede.org/

Globus' transfer service is software-as-a-service for file transfer and sharing. Designed specifically for researchers, Globus provides fast, reliable, and secure file transfer among HPC resources, campus cluster, lab servers, or personal computers. Globus is core campus bridging technology that enables researchers to scale their computational research from the desktop, across campus, and to national cyberinfrastructure. Beyond file transfer, Globus allows researchers to securely share data with collaborators directly from existing systems, without investing in additional campus or cloud storage just for the purposes of sharing.

GridFTP is a high-performance, secure, reliable data transfer protocol optimized for high-bandwidth wide-area networks. GridFTP is a service-layer interface for data transfer. (The higher-level, access-layer interface is Globus transfer, see above.) The GridFTP protocol is based on FTP, the highly-popular Internet file transfer protocol. We have selected a set of protocol features and extensions defined already in IETF RFCs and added a few additional features to meet requirements from current data grid projects.

Enables remote login and shell access using X.509 credentials. Programs can fork/exec the GSI OpenSSH client and send shell commands to be executed on the remote machine.

Enables asynchronous publishing of and subscription to HPC resource information.

Enables synchronous update (REST POST) and query (REST GET) of cyberinfrastructure resource information. Provides access to public information, and to restricted information for authenticated clients.

CILogon provides a standards-compliant OpenID Connect (OAuth 2.0) interface to federated authentication. Clients can use this interface to authenticate users via their home campus identity providers (e.g., via InCommon SAML authentication) and optionally obtain short-lived X.509 certificates for users.

Globus Auth is a foundational identity and access management (IAM) platform service, used for brokering authentication and authorization interactions between end-users, identity providers, resource servers (services), and clients (including web, mobile, desktop, and command line applications, and other services).

Globus Auth is compliant with the OAuth2 and OpenID Connect standards, but extends them to support use cases that are beyond the scope of those standards.

Integrating MyProxy clients into your application allows you to authenticate and obtain X.509 certificates for your users. Using the MyProxy client API with the myproxy.xsede.org server allows applications to verify XSEDE Kerberos passwords and obtain short-lived XSEDE-accepted certificates.

The MyProxy OAuth API allows clients to authenticate users and obtain X.509 certificates for users. It is compliant with OAuth 1.0a, OAuth 2.0, and OpenID Connect. Using the MyProxy OAuth API with the oa4mp.xsede.org server allows clients to authenticate XSEDE users and obtain XSEDE-accepted short-lived certificates.
