[ogsa-hpcp-wg] GridSAM status

[Vesso Novov]

Hi all,

I should have mentioned that the GridSAM service installations, while 
capable of using x509 certificates, are not configured to do so for this 
demo.
Therefore, all clients used to send request to my service must be 
configured to include the WS-Security UsernameToken type headers in the 
soap message.

--Vesso
P.S. I have messages in the log files indicating that someone had tried 
to test the services using an invalid(missing HPCProfileApplication 
element) JSDL.
Pl., use the JSDLs I have posted on the wiki, so that your tests do not 
fail for "...Invalid JSDL doc..." - type reasons.

--Vesso
