Abstract
In this paper we describe a plug-in for the gSOAP Toolkit that allows development of Web Services exploiting the Globus Security Infrastructure (GSI). Our plug-in allows the development of GSI enabled Web Services and clients, with full support for mutual authentication/authorization, delegation of credentials and connection caching. The software provides automatic, transparent transport-level security for Web Services and is freely available.
