Compared to the traditional end-user clients such as the UNICORE Rich Client (URC) and UNICORE Command-line Client (UCC), a portal, accessed by a standard web browser, promises several advantages which are to be discussed in this paper. We also provide an overview of the portal development work: starting from the architecture and software design, we then describe various authentication possibilities, and end with demonstrating an example use case. Towards the end of the paper we present the current status of the UNICORE portal and the development road-map up to and beyond the first production release.
