• Gatekeeping Policy. The Gatekeeper Server provides a Gatekeeping Service along with an
Account Validation Service. These services provide the mechanism for HPSS to
communicate information though a well-defined interface to a policy software module that
can be completely written by a site. The site policy code is placed in well-defined shared
libraries for the gatekeeping policy and the accounting policy (/opt/hpss/lib/
libgksite.[a|so] and /opt/hpss/lib/libacctsite.[a|so] respectively) which are linked to the
Gatekeeper Server. The Gatekeeping policy shared library contains a default policy which
does NO gatekeeping. Sites will need to enhance this library to implement local policy
rules if they wish to monitor and load-balance requests.

IBM AIX
Sun Solaris
Cray UniCOS
Intel Teraflop
Digital Unix
Hewlett-Packard
HPUX
Silicon Graphics
IRIX (32-bit)
Compaq Tru64

The full-function Client API can be ported to any platform that supports Unix, DCE, and Encina.
The PFTP client code and Client API source code for the platforms other than AIX, Linux, and
Solaris listed above is on the HPSS distribution tape. Maintenance of the PFTP and Client API
software on these platforms is the responsibility of the customer, unless a support agreement is
negotiated with IBM. Contact IBM for information on how to obtain the software mentioned above.
