The technical problem getting OOD running for us is covered in another thread

> Hello All, We are looking to deploy OOD and have a question regarding the Reverse Proxy Setup. We are curious is it possible to configure the reverse proxy on a separate host from our main OOD server? The reason for this is for security reasons we have our OOD isolated from the rest of our environment and it currently cannot talk to compute nodes directly which I believe is needed for the reverse proxy to work. We are curious if we can shift this part of the workflow to another host that doe…

The crux of the problem is security constraints, we don’t have a lot of latitude in changing fundamental security policies.

If we get to a complete technical dead end, we can either abandon OOD, or try to find a suitable, tested, alternate security policy. Since we work with DOE and they tend to have tighter security, it would be easier to pitch something they have operational as a path forward. Talking with someone at DOE using OOD may lead to some new ideas.

Another possibility is a Institutional service / development contract to bulldoze the problem in the OOD source. We definitely don’t want to fork the source and make the mods ourselves, for reasons of security and lack of expertise.
