| | 13 | Fedd really is two entities, an '''Access Controler''' that mediates access to federated resources and provides standard interfaces for allocating them, and an '''Experiment Controller''' that acts as a credential store and coordinates requests across multiple access controllers. The [FeddAbout discussion of the Deter Federation Architecture] has more to say about these entities, but this is enough to get started. DETERLab runs an experiment controller that can be reached at [https://users.isi.deterlab.net:23235] and new federation users can use that experiment controller, but when setting up and administering a federated testbed it can be very helpful to install and configure an experiment controller locally. |
