v1 v2 26 26 1. GENI provides a common interface that lets you reserve resources from many aggregates using a common set of credentials, and a common API (the Aggregate Manager or AM API). In addition, GENI experimenter tools may be helpful to you as you use these aggregates. 27 27 28 2. Aggregates that do not expose the AM APIhave their own specific access policies. Send us mail at [mailto:help@geni.net] for assistance.28 2. Aggregates that do not accept GENI credentials have their own specific access policies.

(There are links from the "GENI Aggregates" section of the [wiki:ExperimenterPortal Experimenter's Portal].) Aggregates that support the GENI AM API list an Aggregate Manager URL in the "Using This Aggregate" section. Currently, these are chiefly [http://www.planetlab.org PlanetLab]-based and [http://www.protogeni.net ProtoGENI]-based aggregates. 33 33 34 == How do I get a GENI Aggregate Manager (AM) APIcredential? ==34 == How do I get a GENI credential? == 35 35 36 Because the GENI AM API supports a federated web of trust, it's possible that you already have a credential. If you are a [http://www.planetlab.org PlanetLab], [http://www.protogeni.net ProtoGENI], or [http://www.emulab.net Emulab] user, you can use your existing credential with the AM API.
