RIT Venue on ANL server

With an ever increasing focus on security, services (OpenLDAP, Active 
Directory, etc...) are run on servers with a minimum OS footprint and 
centrally managed. The tools servers that provide a central management 
platform can be leveraged in a high performance computing (HPC) 
environment to reduce the time for long running maintenance tasks. The 
HPC environment gains efficiencies in power consumption and server 
utilization. This is especially true for maintenance of large 
directories with millions of objects.

Since RFC 4120, the widespread acceptance of Kerberos version 5 and most 
recently the Kerberos Consortium, authenticated HPC has enabled the 
secure running of jobs that would otherwise be restricted to one server. 
This talk will provide an overview of Windows 2008 HPC and an example 
how to code and enable delegation for authenticating jobs in an HPC 
environment.
