There is only unix authentication plus the ALICE-specific token-based authentication mechanism pointed to xrootd through the ofs.authlib directive

How are "all users" authenticate to your CEPH/Xrootd gateway?

    Hi Max,


    Thanks for this. I was refering basically on the xrootd@proxy service running on a Ceph gateway.


    Do you mean to change the user/group settings in [log in to unmask]

    from "xrootd" to "alicesgm" ?


    What about the xrootd@ceph service?


    George

    Hi George,

    while it is not exactly what you are asking for:
    We simply run all ALICE xrootd services as the respective alicesgm user. That automatically maps all users to this identity for operations on the file system etc.

    Cheers,
    Max
