Slides for supporting the GES telcon tomorrow
by Morris Riedel 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

Hi PGI team, I created some initial slides in order to support our telcon tomorrow slightly with an overview - also identifying last issues/questions. I hope I can work further on it including the other elements... It also puts this work in the greater context of PGI naming it 'OGSA-BES tuning' as a temporary term like the Geneva execution service it's also only a name/term for it. Slides, if you like, are available at GridForge: http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/docman/do/downloadDocument/projects.pgi-wg/doc man.root.input_documents.execution_service/doc15593 I nevertheless encourage the people to read the full strawman - but if there is not enough time the slides might help a bit... I'm looking forward to the telcon tomorrow! I hope it helps a bit, Morris ------------------------------------------------------------ Morris Riedel SW - Engineer Distributed Systems and Grid Computing Division Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) Forschungszentrum Juelich Wilhelm-Johnen-Str. 1 D - 52425 Juelich Germany Email: m.riedel(a)fz-juelich.de Info: http://www.fz-juelich.de/jsc/JSCPeople/riedel Phone: +49 2461 61 - 3651 Fax: +49 2461 61 - 6656 Skype: MorrisRiedel "We work to better ourselves, and the rest of humanity" Sitz der Gesellschaft: Jülich Eingetragen im Handelsregister des Amtsgerichts Düren Nr.

Re: [Pgi-wg] OGF PGI - Security - Interoperability in progressbetween EGEE and OSG (using COPS)
by David Groep 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

Dear all, As the presented of the authz-interop.org work, I can just confirm that both Steven and Morris are absolutely correct. For the techies on the list: the authz-interop work addresses the exchange of attributes and obligations between a policy enforcement point and a decision point, and the communications protocol to exchange these (essentially a profile of XACML2 over SAML2). It does NOT address the 'external' interface for any service. Best, David "sorry, no simple solutions available yet" G.

OGF PGI - Security - Interoperability in progress between EGEE and OSG (using COPS)
by Etienne URBAH 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

To All, My previous today's mail shows that the security work of PGI is now stuck into irreconcilable incompatibility between : - RFC-3820-compliant X509 certificates and proxies on one part, - GSI-style X509 proxies (which can be delegated) on the other part. But there is some hope : At the last MWSG meeting in Zürich, David GROEP has performed a presentation 'AuthZ Interop report' available at http://indico.cern.ch/materialDisplay.py?contribId=22&sessionId=3&materialI… This presentation describes current work in good progress begun in 2007 on security interoperability between OSG and EGEE, with the help of Globus and Condor teams. This work uses the Common Open Policy Service (COPS) model defined in RFC 2748 at http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2748 COPS defines at least following 2 concepts : - PDP = Policy Decision Point - PEP = Policy Enforcement Point Interoperability is achieved through an AuthZ Interop Profile, based on the SAML v2 profile of XACML v2. There are production deployments in OSG and EGEE. So I suggest that, before reinventing the wheel, we study in detail the above mentioned document, in order to quickly know : - The problems which they are encountering, - The solutions which they are founding, - The interoperable components which they are deploying and which we could reuse, - ...

Hi PGI-wg team, Wiki Matrix of "Technical survey in security aspect" is to be revised as follows in case of NAREGI. Please note that NAREGI has not yet implemented BES, and now we are looking for the best way to support both BES and NAREGI services in our middleware. ----------------------------- Transport layer security: TLS/SSL ->ditto HTTP layer security: Https,Httpg ->ditto SOAP layer security: none ->ditto X.509 Credential: X.509 Proxy ->ditto Capability to consume Proxy: ->Proxy certificate chain verification on client and service side X.509 Credential delegation: ->Pluggable module or library for credential delegation on both client and service side, and Delegation Service (planed) X.509 proxy restriction: ->TBD Capability to enforce restriction: ->TBD, The restriction policy will be enforced on service side Attributes as proxy extension: Attribute Certificates ->ditto Capability to consume AC: AC will be verified, and used for access control on both meta scheduler and service side Attributes embedded in SOAP header: SAML Assertions ->none (not planned) Capability to consume SAML Assertion: ->none (not planned) Authorization policy: GridMap /XACML 2 ->ditto --------------------------------- Best regards, Mineo -- Shinichi Mineo RIKEN tel : 048-467-9741 e-mail : mineo(a)riken.jp
