IdentityMapping

IdentityMapping Document

Globus Connect Server provides two ways for you to implement a custom Globus identity to account mapping: expression-based and external program

With expression-based mapping you can write rules that extract data from fields in the Globus identity document to form storage gateway-specific usernames. If there is a regular relationship between most of your users' Identity information to their account names, this is probably the most direct way to accomplish the mapping.

With external program mappings you can use any mechanism you like (static mapping, ldap, database, etc) to look up account information and return the mapped account user name. If you have an account system that has usernames without a simple relationship to your users' Globus identities, or that requires interfacing with an accounting system, this may be necessary.
