System - Unique DataFed UIDs / Remove requirement for GlobusID #767

Open dvstans opened 3 years ago

dvstans commented 3 years ago

DataFed currently requires users to have or obtain a GlobusID in order to create a DataFed account. This is due to using the GlobusID (name portion) as the user's DataFed UID. This should be changed to allow users with a Globus account without a linked GlobusID identity to register. This will require DataFed to generate or allow users to select unique DataFed UIDs. This may also impact the GridFTP authorization callout which currently receives Globus credentials only.
