Hi Jens, others,
Brian and I are having discussions about extensions to the XACML
interoperability profile
http://www.ogf.org/documents/GFD.205.pdf (or
https://redmine.ogf.org/dmsf/fedsec-cg?folder_id=6535)
How should we go about this? We're currently still discussing possible
ways of adapting, but ultimately it should lead to a new standard we
both want to adopt. If I understood correctly, GFD.205 was mostly guided
within the fedsec group.
Secondly, together with John White, I hope to write an XACML profile
aimed at provising and managing virtual machines.
Some background: we -- Nikhef -- have developed an XACML-talking
'Execution Environment Service' that can run as backend to the EMI Argus
service [1]. It typically runs one or more plugins to do the hard work,
and John White has been developing a OpenStack plugin which should be
able to boot up VMs with proper authorization. In order for this to all
work, we need to develop a new profile for passing information around,
such as user identities, VM hostnames etc., new action and resource
attributes and ways to encapsulate the authorization policies. As far as
I know, this is pretty much uncharted territory. Again, what would be
the best way to start with this?
Cheers,
Mischa

Pursuant to this development, the repository for the OpenStack API Working Group is now available:
https://github.com/openstack/api-wg
Please consider how OGF can best interact with these developments. Note that several other SDOs have now targeted getting their standards implemented in OpenStack (and some in CloudStack) as top targets of opportunity.
Discussion is encouraged. Participation and explaining to us what you have done is even better.
