OGSA HPC Profile Minutes – Fri Aug 18 2006 [...] AI-HPCP-0818a: Donal Fellow to review HPC Profile Application. Specifically to ensure that normative text use is correct. Also, adding normative text. Hopefully done before the next JSDL call on Wed.
As promised, I've reviewed the HPC Profile Application extension document and applied a few changes (though fewer than I originally thought). I've uploaded a change-tracked version to GridForge (in the JSDL documentation tree) which has my changes in it together with comments detailing a few issues that I think could do with addressing before it goes final. (Some comments just describe reasoning behind one or two of the changes I've made though.) https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/docman/do/viewDocument/projects.jsdl-wg/docma... The main thing of note I suppose is that I've beefed up the Security Considerations to state that it is important that the UserName element not be allowed to do end-runs around security. But that needs checking by someone else to ensure that I've not gone too far and required that implementations *have* a security context that could allow deduction of what username to use. That's just the sane thing to do... :-) Cc:ing the JSDL WG so that they can get a chance to review the doc (plus my comments) too. Donal.
