Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI EGEE'07: MWSG Budapest 6 SAML-XACML lib requirements Requirements to Globus –Initial focus on Java and C environment  C-clients (PEP) & C-service (PDP) Prima & gPlazma LCAS and LCMAPS plug-ins Newly to be created Site Central service with the LCAS and LCMAPS back-end will be C-based  Java initially server-side only (PDP) The GUMS server is a Java-Tomcat environment –Uses TLS connection for client (PEP) / server (PDP) comm. –Must be able to mix our PDP and PEP implementations –Must be separate from the existing Globus Toolkit  We want the library to be lightweight and easily portable

Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI EGEE'07: MWSG Budapest 7 SAML-XACML lib requirements Requirements to ourselves –Easy interoperation  Understand a common set of obligations and its attributes –Scalability  Low network traffic  Low overhead at the end points –Keeping compatibility with existing LCAS and LCMAPS plug-ins and their functionalities

Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI EGEE'07: MWSG Budapest 8 Work done and decisions made Understanding the scope of usage  Interesting for everybody who was not at the MWSG UCSD lunch Understanding the term stateful PDP  Note: XACML PDP is (usually only) stateless  Passing stateful information (the results of a pool account mapping) from the obligations’ attributes Discussing SAML-XACML protocol details –“Using standard protocols” != “Being standards compliant” –Generation of the protocol stack must be reproducible Using Globus SAML-XACML instead of OpenSAML –Globus is committed to fix potential deviation to the specs Testing the alfa version of the SAML-XACML library –C and Java; Ongoing process… Compilation of a tentative lists of obligations –for EGEE and OSG (next slide…)

Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI EGEE'07: MWSG Budapest 9 Tentative lists of obligations EGEE Obligations: –UID + GID –Optional multiple 2ndary GIDs –Optional AFS token (type string) VO Services Obligations (to be checked with representative from Storage): –Username (for CE) –UID + GID (common w/ EGEE) –RootPath + HomeDir (gPlazma) –Priorities (gPlazma) –File creation mask + directory creation mask

Other obligations (or no obligation, just a binary AuthZ decision) Reproducibility of the protocol stack, credits to: –Yuri Demchenko –Valerio Venturi –Vincenzo Ciaschini –Alberto Forti –and others… Timeline: –Library beta:~end of October ‘07 –Client (LCMAPS plugin)Library beta + 1 month –Service (beta)Library beta + 2 months –Service (production)~Q1 2008

Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI EGEE'07: MWSG Budapest 11 Final words The site central solution allows for improved emergency response –Central blacklist –Consistent mappings across a cluster or a site for all the services The interface is going to be standards compliant with SAML2-XACML2 Globus library will be the first implementation of the protocol stack, hopefully many to follow
