• Based on a open source tool (XOOPS/xHelp)

• Interfaced via SOAP WS with the GGUS

The IGI HelpDesk supports both national and international users and VOs together with the IGI resource site managers. Tickets opened by external users, and EGI operations teams are routed inside the IGI HelpDesk through the GGUS

The first level support is organized in weekly shifts.The sites are monitored using Nagios tests and, in case of problems, tickets are opened and a first help is provided.The second Level support is provided by specialized teams both from the operations and from the middleware developers.

IGI (Italian Grid Initiative) is developing a web portal to ease the access to grid and cloud

services;The main goal is to hide the “complexity” of

X.509 certificates (request and management); IGTF policies and guidelines have been taken into account when designing the framework.

The GILDA testbed is a full set of core and site grid services where grid beginners can experience grid features

Since 2004 GILDA supports national and international projects with its facilities dedicated for grid training and dissemination

GILDA CA, now also distributed with EUGridPMA, on request issues X509 certificates ready to be used by anyone for training events

GILDA VO complements GILDA CA providing a VO where issued certificates are automatically inserted. The VO is deployed in the whole GILDA testbed

GILDA offers in its web site a series of exercises, hands-on supporting the training process. Since 2011, the GILDA web site has been re-engineered using Liferay as portlet container, moving forward towards Science Gateway paradigm

• Based on Jersey, the open source, production quality JAX-RS (JSR 311) Reference Implementation for building RESTful Web services;

• Java #PKCS#11, CoG-Kit, Bouncy Castle and VOMS-APIs libraries;

• Thread-safe access to the list of smart cards;

• SSL encryption based on trusted host certificate;

• eToken PRO 32/64KBytes smart cards;

• Caching of proxy certificates for each valid requestID = serial + vo + fqan.

For Job Submission and Data Management tasks, the portal

uses WS-PGrade (MTA-SZTAKI);

Other solutions are under investigation:

e.g.: JSAGA (IN2P3);
