Current status and evolution of the EGI AAI

• Peter Solagna (EGI.eu)

Description

EGI is serving many user communities, distributed collaborations, international virtual organizations, providing them a portfolio of federated services. Federated authentication and authorization is a critical capability that is needed to be productive in such a diverse landscape of use cases and service providers.
This session is a follow up to the AAI session that took place at the EGI Conference in Lisbon in May 2015 and will include presentations on the current state of the art of the e-infrastructures, in terms of AAI solutions, and their evolution.
Attending this session, EGI and the participating scientific communities will be able to discuss the evolution of the AAI landscape in Europe and how EGI enables user communities to overcome barriers and collaborate securely on top of EGI e-Infrastructure. As part of this session, EGI will present the initial outcomes from the adaption of federated access by EGI services and tools.

Presentation

Today there exist several international e-Infrastructures that were built to address the federated identity management needs of research and education in Europe as well as the rest of the world. While some of these e-Infrastructures were specifically built for particular groups of research communities (DARIAH, ELIXIR AAI, CLARIN SPF), others were built with a more general target group in mind....

Presentation

Basic FedCloud user access scenario is composed of a VOMS server for authentication and authorization, and the site itself. Users with valid VOMS credentials are automatically created on sites. This solution is easy to deploy and manage but has several drawbacks if you need to support the whole user life-cycle. In this presentation we will introduce Perun as an additional component in the...

78. The Indigo AAI

Presentation

The Indigo Project [1] set out to develop a data and computing platform targeting scientific communities, deployable on multiple hardware and provisioned over hybrid e-infrastructures. This includes delegation of access tokens to a multitude of (orchestrated) virtual machines or containers as well as authentication of REST calls from and to VMs and other parts of the infrastructure....
