They've been doing things like this at CERN for donkeys years - with the Andrew File System in the past. Look for Ticket Granting Tickets. Sorry - my memory is getting hazy.

I am in an environment that uses NFSv4, which obviously needs user credentials to grant access to filesystems. Has anyone else tackled the issue of unattended batch jobs successfully? I'm aware of AUKS. Is there any other method anyone has used? I'd be receptive to trying something like GlusterFS if it provided similar authentication and encryption measures.
