[AG-TECH] development issue

[Eric Olson]

Hi David,

The AccessGrid/AGServiceManager.py starts services as separate processes 
and passes them options as well.  To pass the correct flag, you could do 
something like this after the port option is appended, but before 
StartProcess() is called.
if self.app.options.insecure:
    options.append("--insecure")
