The portal uploads a user credential to (a) !MyProxy server(s) which services can access on the users behalf and use to obtain delegated user credentials in order to access other secured services.  - Service A, is trusted by the !MyProxy server C.  Before accessing service B, it requests a delegated user credential from C.  It uses the user credential to access service B.
    i. Without !MyProxy: the principle of services obtaining delegated credentials remains the same but there is no !MyProxy server to acts as a broker of user credentials.

    * '''Cons''': 
     a. Currently no ESG Java implementation to support authentication using proxy certificates.  A filter would need to be implemented.  CEDA's Python implementation ''does'' already support proxy certificates.
