You need to do a few things:

1) Install Globus on a server, usually called a gatekeeper
2) Use a batch system (we prefer Condor) to provide access to your 
computers, and tell Globus about ot.
3) Request a host certificate for the gatekeeper from a certificate 
authority (CA)
4) Request a user certificate for each user.
5) Set up Condor-G.

It's not exactly quick and dirty.

A reasonable approach to #1 and #4 is to install the VDT, since it sets up 
a lot of things for you. You can learn more about the VDT at:

The CA you use depends on what groups you are affiliated with.

Documentation for using Condor-G is available in the Condor manual, section 
5.3:
