[Swift-devel] Status of ssh data provider tests

[David Kelly]

The data staging is the more difficult of the two. There are four options I can think of to get around the coaster provider staging issue. 

a. Use the ssh provider instead of ssh-cl and set filesystem to ssh. This requires setting up an auth.defaults with a stored password or passphrase (to avoid being prompted) 
b. Use the ssh provider and the built-in gridftp. Anything that uses gridftp obviously requires the usual steps of setting up grid certificates. 
c. Use ssh-cl and built-in gsiftp together. I think option is impossible due to the way certificates currently work. ssh-cl will create it's own certificate for coaster security, so if you have X509* defined I don't think things will work. 
d. Try to get things working with wrapper staging. It's possible, but will take more time, discussion, and testing. 

Is the need to set up auth.defaults a deal breaker for this?
