[kepler-dev] Hello

[Jing Tao]

Hi, Zhijie:

Here is my thought base on the yesterday discussion.

1) I will implement a backend authentication service (with cerficate and 
LDAP) which use Gama standard web service interface.

2) We need develop a AuthenticationManager(or some another name) which is 
the client of Gama service and provide an API for kepler code to access
Gama service. The API maybe will look like:

String getProxy(String userDNName, String password);
void   destoryProxy(String userDNName, String password);
String renewPoxy(String userDNName, String password);

I am not sure if we need user management API here( creatUser, deleteUser).

3) You may implement a login GUI which will call the AuthenticationManager 
API to get user proxy.

This is very rough thought, any comment will be appreciated.
