Support of per-user Globus configurations?

Feature Requests and Roadmap Discussion
1

Hi All,

I wonder if it is possible (and if not, would it make sense to implement?) to allow for per-user Globus configurations to support Personal Endpoints.

Right now personal OneDrive is supported through “remote filesystems” config. But Globus seem to require a Server Endpoint coded in the main OOD config, if I understand it correctly.

Thanks!

Yes, It’s true for the globus.

Use multiple endpoints.

globus_endpoints:

  • path: “/home”
    endpoint: “716de4ac-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx”
    endpoint_path: “/home”

  • path: “/project”
    endpoint: “9f1fe759-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx”
    endpoint_path: “/project”

endpoint is the UUID of the Globus endpoint.
you need to create a globus.yml file inside of “/etc/ood/config/ondemand.d” directory and mention the multiple globus endpoint details onit.

Thanks @virenderk !
Thats a thing a sysadmin could do. Would be nice if users’ Personal Endpoints could have been detected without admin’s intervention.
