Thank you Piotr, A couple of questions embedded;
- SMOA Core has modules for various authentication mechanisms and authorization policies. It has an ability to accept SAML assertions as an authentication mechanism. Besides, you may currently use plain HTTP, SSL (with client authentication), GSI or WS-Security Username.
Do you have any installations that use SAML? What is creating the assertions in these installations?
- DRMAA interface to job schedulers (we mostly use it with SGE and LSF). Remote users are mapped to local uids.
Is this mapping of users to local uids done "on the fly" or in advance? What mechanisms are you using for tracking accounting statistics and enforcing policies? Thanks, Arnie
