Catania (Italy), Joint EELA/EGEEIII Tutorial for Trainers, – A grid portal: why and how It can be accessed from everywhere and by “everything” (desktop, laptop, PDA, cell phone). It can keep the same user interface to several back- ends. It must be redundantly “secure” at all levels: – 1) secure for web transactions, – 2) secure for user credentials, – 3) secure for user authentication, – 4) secure at VO/VOMS level. All available grid services must be incorporated in a logic way, just “one mouse click away”. Its layout must be easily understandable and user friendly.

Catania (Italy), Joint EELA/EGEEIII Tutorial for Trainers, – A Grid Portal improves usability of Grids – Lowering end-user requirements for accessing the Grid – Hiding the complexity of data and job services management in the Grid A Grid Portal improves utilization of Grids – Making the Grid (r)evolution transparent to the end- user – Providing an appealing user-friendly Web interface – Enforcing Grid utilization policies GRID Portal benefits

Catania (Italy), Joint EELA/EGEEIII Tutorial for Trainers, – What EnginFrame is ? It is a web-based technology able to expose Grid services running on Grid infrastructures It allows organizations to provide application- oriented computing and data services to both users (via Web browsers) and applications (via SOAP/WSDL and/or RSS) ‏ It’s a Grid gateway It greatly simplifies the development of Web Portals exposing computing services that can run on a broad range of different computational Grid systems 7

Catania (Italy), Joint EELA/EGEEIII Tutorial for Trainers, – Starting from Feb also the Italian INFN CA will start to issue Robot Certificates. Thanks to these new certificates biologists will be able to access the grid sharing the certificate installed on the portal. 2.UK and NL CA are already issuing robot certificates 3. The decision of the INFN CA is a great success of the BioinfoGRID project Robot Certificates

Catania (Italy), Joint EELA/EGEEIII Tutorial for Trainers, – In order to strong reduce the risks of having the portal certificate compromised and improve the security, the INFN CA has decided to issue this new certificate on board of the Aladdin eToken PRO smart card. – Each smart card can support several robot certificates: one for each application user wants to share with the other. – An user’s PIN is prompted every time user try to read the certificate on board of the smart card to generate a proxy.

Catania (Italy), Joint EELA/EGEEIII Tutorial for Trainers, – Summary and Conclusions GENIUS offers the following advantages: it is a complete production-ready environment which combines the concepts of “user portal” and “science portal”; absolutely no client software needs to be installed on the user’s workstation apart from the web browser with its usual plug-ins like Java (at least JRE or higher); it provides a new unique tool to authorize users, in a very strong secure way, into the grid environment with or without VOMS support as well, easy to use; it includes support for both single and composite jobs (including DAG’s); interactive analysis and web access to personal spooling areas are possible; environment and settings customizable for the users; security for data management and sessions. 59
