Express AuthN - Kerberos Forwarding Use Case
by Blair Dillaway 22 Jul '07

22 Jul '07

A brief description of the Kerberos forwarding use-case is provided below so we have it recorded. This use-case was identified by Chris and Bill in response to discussion about whether the Express AuthN profiles should include Kerberos mechanisms. They have reviewed the text below and confirmed it describes the use-case they are concerned about. Kerberos Token Forwarding Use Case This use case describes a desired operational mode supporting use of a deployed Kerberos authentication infrastructure for grid access control. The grid environment could be within a single organization, or span multiple organizations if cross-realm Kerberos trusts have been established. The requirement is to support resource access by a job (J) running on behalf of a user (U) based on authenticated user identity and attribute information conveyed in a Kerberos token. The user is assumed to only communicate directly with a scheduling service (S) (for example, a BES container service). S then determines a suitable computational host and communicates the information necessary to run the user's job on that host. It is assumed all the grid services are web services which communicate using SOAP-based protocols. To support this use case, U must be able to authenticate to S using Kerberos. S is then responsible for binding the Kerberos authentication information to U's job request. Note that U doesn't know which execution host will eventually run J, and therefore can not supply a Kerberos service ticket for the execution host. When S schedules J, it authenticates to the execution host based on its identity, and must securely communicates U's Kerberos authentication information as part of the job creating request. The execution host then uses U's Kerberos authentication information (user's account and group membership) to establish the job's security context. This could involve running the job under the user's account or obtaining new Kerberos service tickets on-behalf of the user for any required job resources. The security context provides the authenticated information that determines the job's rights to access local and/or remote resources. Regards, Blair Dillaway

Int. Grid Interoperability and Interoperation Workshop (IGIIW 2007): Deadline extended until July, 29
by Morris Riedel 21 Jul '07

21 Jul '07

FYI: A possibility to publish interoperability/interoperation work in the context of OGSA Due to several requests for an extension, the deadline is extended to July 29th, 2007. -------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS International Grid Interoperability and Interoperation Workshop 2007 (IGIIW 2007) Bangalore, India, December 10th - 13th (1 day), 2007 http://omii-europe.org/OMII-Europe/igiiw2007.html to be held in conjunction with 3rd IEEE - Int. Conference on e-Science and Grid Computing 2007 Bangalore, India, December 10th -- 13th, 2007 http://www.escience2007.org -------------------------------------------------------------------- SCOPE The workshop will discuss the interoperability and interoperation aspects of current Grid and Web technologies, production Grid infrastructures in general, and the interoperability through emerging open standards in particular. In the context of this workshop, the difference between interoperability and interoperation is as follows: Interoperation is specifically defined as what needs to be done to get production Grid infrastructures (e.g. DEISA, EGEE, TeraGrid, OSG) to work together as a fast short-term achievement using as much existing technologies as available today. Hence, this is not the perfect solution and different than interoperability that is defined as the native ability of Grids and Grid middleware (UNICORE, gLite, Globus Toolkit) to interact directly via well defined interfaces and common open standards. This will enable cross-Grid use cases and applications from a growing range of domains in industry and science. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the area of interoperability and interoperation within Grid infrastructures and distributed environments, to exchange and share their experiences, new ideas, and latest research results as well as open problems. Enough time for intensive discussions will be provided and outcomes of the workshop will be summarized in the session. TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics of interest for the workshop include, but are not limited to: * Cross-Grid scientific and business applications * Grid system components that enable interoperability/interoperation * Boundaries and open problems related to interoperability/interoperation * Scientific/business scenarios for Grid interoperability/interoperation * Cross-Grid brokering and workflows, semantics and languages * Security challenges/solutions for Grid interoperability/interoperation * Management & monitoring of interoperable/interoperating Grids * Visualizations for applications of more than one Grid environment * Grid middleware interoperability/interoperation * Roadmaps of Grid technologies for interoperability/interoperation * Performance evaluation of interoperable/interoperating Grid components * Reliability & fault-tolerance during interoperability/interoperation * Autonomic behavior in Grid interoperability/interoperation PROCEEDINGS Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. More information can be found at http://www.escience2007.org/Papersubmission.htm PAPER SUBMISSIONS Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original, unpublished research and recent developments in the topics related to the workshop. Submitted papers should be not more than 8 pages, including figures and references, of double column text using single-spaced, 10-point font size on 8.5 x 11 inch pages, as per IEEE 8.5 x 11 manuscript guidelines which can be found at ftp://pubftp.computer.org/press/outgoing/proceedings/. Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format as an e-mail attachment to igiiw(a)fz-juelich.de. All papers will be peer reviewed and comments will be provided to the authors.

Hi all, Minutes is up on the GridForge. https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc14678 Thanks, ---- Hiro Kishimoto ---------------------------------------------------------------- OGSA Teleconference - 12 July 2007 - Info model =============================================== * Participants Chris Kantarjiev (Oracle) Ellen Stokes (IBM) Adrian Toth (Univ of Miskolc) Dave Snelling (Fujitsu) Hiro Kishimoto (Fujitsu) ZackK Minutes: Hiro Kishimoto * June 28 minutes accepted * Container model doc final review (Ellen Stokes) Ellen asks if there are any last minute change request except Hiro’s comments? WG discusses what is the recommendation for copyrights issue. ** copyrights issue Ellen explains how SNIA works with DMTF. - SNIA maintains their own MOF. - DMTF maintains CIM. Ellen believes that SNIA model should work for OGF, too. Mike Baskey, DMTF chair, says that OGF is the only org asking this copyrights dilemma. Ellen will talk to Mark Carlson, DMTF alliance VP, about this issue at DMTF F2F meeting next week. ** reference format Ellen will update reference format soon. ** OGF Editor submission Ellen asks if there are any other comments? Ellen has already made final call two week ago thus no farther final call is necessary. Ellen will clean up this document and pass it to Hiro. Hiro will bring to GFSG (our AD: Chris Kantarjiev). * Modeling guideline document update (Fred Machiel) Fred will update his document soon and will make a final call sometime around this weekend. * Modeling work next step (Ellen Stokes) ** OGSA/GLUE/RM collaboration Ellen will talk to Sergio (GLUE-WG) and Paul Strong (RM-WG) in Portland next week. Ellen will also attend RM-WG call tomorrow. Sergio will attend the call on behalf of GLUE-WG and explain GLUE model there. Ellen will report outcome of the discussion about OGSA/GLUE/RM collaboration July 26 call. ** Information services Adrian asks information services using this modeling? Ellen answers she does not cover client implementation yet. ** Nest week Ellen explains about DMTF partner alliance technical symposium in Portland next week. Glue session and technical committee meeting will be on Tuesday. OGSA info model, reference model, general alliance session is on Wednesday. And alliance committee meeting is on Thursday. Thus Ellen can make only first half of the OGSA call. Meeting adjourned.
