Usage

Globus v5.4

The steps performed by this module are to install Globus and run the globus endpoint setup and globus node setup commands.

The following is the minimum parameters that must be passed to setup Globus v5.4.

class { 'globus':
  display_name   => 'REPLACE My Site Globus',
  organization   => 'REPLACE My Organisation',
  owner          => '[email protected]',
  contact_email  => ''[email protected]'',
  ip_address     => 'REPLACE Public IP',
  users          => {'REPLACE user1 name on host': 
                            globus_id: 'REPLACE user1 Public Globus ID',
                    'REPLACE user2 name on host': 
                            globus_id: 'REPLACE user2 Public Globus ID' [ ... ] }

}

Users will have their $HOME folder exposed in a Globus Collection searchable under display_name

An extra variable can be added to expose specific path on the host along with the users $HOME

class { 'globus':
  display_name   => 'REPLACE My Site Globus',
  organization   => 'REPLACE My Organisation',
  owner          => '[email protected]',
  contact_email  => ''[email protected]'',
  ip_address     => 'REPLACE Public IP',
  users          => {'REPLACE user1 name on host':
                            globus_id: 'REPLACE user1 Public Globus ID',
                    'REPLACE user2 name on host':
                            globus_id: 'REPLACE user2 Public Globus ID' [ ... ] }
  exposed_paths  => [ 'REPLACE path to expose', [...] ]
}

User will be able to acces their data on the Globus page by using the pasword associated with their globus id, be carful not to enter the wrong ID there!
