Domain Migration to gaccess.io

Globus Connect Server installations are automatically issued a default domain by Globus to enable HTTPS access to the Globus Connect Server API and data on collections.

Globus is now issuing these default domains under gaccess.io. They were previously issued under dn.glob.us until June 22, 2020 and then data.globus.org until July 16, 2025.

The move from data.globus.org to gaccess.io is being made in order to support a clear separation of assets that are managed at institutions in the default gaccess.io domain and Globus-managed resources in the globus.org domain.

All Globus Connect Server installations made after July 16, 2025 will automatically be issued domains under the gaccess.io domain. No additional action will be needed for these installations.

There is currently no impact on existing installations with data.globs.org or dn.glob.us default domains. Over the next year, Globus plans to migrate all Globus Connect Server default domains to the gaccess.io subdomain.

As migration tools become available, this document will be updated with timelines and instructions for existing installations to migrate.
