GSI-Enabled OpenSSH
With the end-of-support of the Globus Toolkit, GSI-OpenSSH is now maintained by the Grid Community Forum.
GSI-OpenSSH is a modified version of OpenSSH that adds support for GSI authentication and credential forwarding (delegation), providing a single sign-on remote login and file transfer service. The GSI-OpenSSH patch is built on the GSSAPI patch for OpenSSH by Simon Wilkinson, implementing RFC 4462, with GSI support originally added by Von Welch. We submitted a patch for GSI support to the OpenSSH team but it was never merged.
