Abstract
A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture are provided to support security in a distributed grid computer cluster. Each non-node root node in the cluster is configured with a local security agent, and the root node is configured with a security controller to manage each of the security agents of each non-root node. The security agent of each non-root node is in communication with an associated configuration file that contains data private to the respective non-root node, to allow the security agent to manage security local to the node. The security controller of the root node is in communication with a controller configuration file that contains data that applies to all security agents in the grid cluster, to allow the controller to manage the security agents.
