GridSite 0.9.x Documentation

GridSite is a set of extensions to the Apache 2.0 webserver, which support Grid security based on X.509 certificates. Since GridSite applies access control within Apache itself, via mod_gridsite, Grid authorization and the associated verified credentials are available to all technologies supported by Apache, including static file serving, SSI, CGI, PHP, JSP and mod_perl.
