Open OnDemand

Open OnDemand is a open source project by the Ohio Supercomputer Center that provides a web portal for HPC users. It is designed as a platform allowing system administrators to add additional modules or 'apps'. Users can use this platform to launch interactive jobs or VNC/SSH sessions, view their job statuses, interact with their files. It supports a variety of authentication mechanisms including federated authentication (OpenID, CAS, Shiboleth) or with an the system's underlying PAM (ldap, password file, etc.).
