Using a computing grid requires authorisation and authentication. This is managed by asymmetric cryptography with client-side SSL certificates. Setting it up requires some expertise. jGridStart attempts to provide that, enabling you to quickly proceed to actually using the grid.

jGridStart is currently being developed. I expect the first version to be ready somewhere in April 2009.
