Virtual Organization Membership Service Server

 In grid computing, and whenever the access to resources may be controlled
 by parties external to the resource provider, users may be grouped to
 Virtual Organizations (VOs). This package provides a VO Membership Service
 (VOMS), which informs on that association between users and their VOs:
 groups, roles and capabilities.
 .
 The service can be understood as an account database, which serves the
 information in a special format (VOMS credential). The VO manager can
 administrate it remotely using command line tools or a web interface.
