JGridstart/Releases

A JGridstart release is intended for grid authorities, not for end-users. Authorities and grid developers can adapt the configuration and deploy it for their users. The configuration for these releases point to a test certificate authority, and cannot be used to obtain actual access to the grid; please see testing to understand what to do with the links for each release.
