[kepler-dev] local earthgrid node repository

[Chad Berkley]

Hi Eric,

I believe that metacat requires a login before it will let you insert 
documents (components).  I don't think it has to use ldap though. 
Currently, kepler will try to login as "kepler" if you click the "login 
as anonymous" button.  Maybe you could use a system similar to that. 
Jing, do you have any recommendations?
