Slides

Abstract
This talk will survey user management and access control mechanisms within the Globus and Condor toolkits and attempt to highlight the strong points, the weak points, and how new or emerging standards, such SAML, XACML, and WS-*, could be used to bolster existing, or create more robust, mechanisms. Issues identified here must be addressed before Grids can become utilities for general usage.

Topic List

  • User authentication
  • User identity attribute collection and passing
  • User identity federation
  • Usage of federated authentication state and identity attributes for service authorization

Target Audience
Individuals:

  • Grid toolkit developers who may want information on how identity management and access control are done in other areas
  • Deployers of Grid systems interested in user management and access control issues
  • Grid users
