  • the GHNConfig.xml has been extended with two additional configuration parameters:

Both of the are taken into consideration only in case of secure distribution.

  • $X509_USER_PROXY environment variable is now exploited to contact the gContainer from outside the process. It is expected to contain a valid proxy accepted by the local gContainer process.
