    5056== 1)  Authentication and authorization:  multiple actor options: ==
     
    118124g)  Task:  (see e) above) how to access http interface?  tunnel through ssh?  port map, like ssh?  perhaps could "piggyback" on opening ssh port?  setup a separate proxy?   [[BR]]
    119125
    120  See [http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/RspecExtensionProposal_PortMapping  Port mapping proposal from Hussam]  [[BR]]
    121  Jim on 4/12:  Talked with Rob Ricci.  He is willing to work on it, since many needs to proxy to VMs.   (In INSTOOLS, used VNC) [[BR]]
    122  On 4/12:  protoGENI considering using OPS server to provide persistent proxy. [[BR]]

     132 - On 4/26:  long term solution:  wait for Utah proxy service per testbed;  when?    perhaps soon?[[BR]]
    125133 
    126134h)  Task:  what about vnc tunnels?  how were they done in INSTOOLS?   which port on host?  (who?)

    178 [Have iRODS at IU for NetKarma;  Jim and Wesley talking with Ilia and Shu] [[BR]]
    179

    189196j')  Use of GUSH:  [[BR]]
    190 *4/5/12 notes from Jeanne:  [[BR]]
    191 What does Gush provide vs. Flack?  Why would user use Gush?  [[BR]]
    192 Working with VMs.   According to Vic, Jeannie A. says Gush will work with anything that allows SSH.  [[BR]]
    193 Jeanne O. has experienced some issues with VMs in Gush.  Investigate further.  [[BR]]
    194 Issues with hostnames?  Need to investigate this further.  [[BR]]
    195 Harry:  Suggest Jeanne talk with Luisa about Gush information.  She has worked with it a lot.  [[BR]]
    196 Jim asks Martin:  How does Gush integrate with UNIS?  [[BR]]
    197 Discussion of using UNIS to store/access information about the slices for the experiment rather than passing around rspecs.  [[BR]]
    198 How do we keep this UNIS information up-to-date?  [[BR]]
    199 Guilherme suggests things that are outside of slice introspection, user needs to push to UNIS.  [[BR]]
    200 What types of changes can we make to the slice in Gush/Omni/other that I&M and others need to discover from UNIS?  [[BR]]
    201 Task:  Things to investigate regarding Gush (Jeanne will report next week):  [[BR]]
    202 1.   Tridentcom paper says gush has ability to add and remove nodes from a slice.  How is this done?  Under what circumstances does this work? [GENI AM API does not support updateSliver]  [[BR]]
    203 2.   How does Gush work with protogeni VMs?  [[BR]]
    204 
    205 4/12: Jeanne reports:    [[BR]]
    206 Certain commands (slice add, renew, update) apply only to PlanetLab.  [[BR]]
    207 Issue:  Gush takes hostname and goes to physical node, not VMs;  considering how to rectify.  [[BR]]
    208 In ORCA, this works.  hostname in manifest is not the same as the hostname reported for the node.  [[BR]]
    209 
    210 4/12:  Jim asks:  How would be run shell scripts on nodes?  scp between nodes?  [[BR]]
