5 What is the Central Person Registry? It’s the Foundation of IAM

6 Current Person Registries At its simplest form, a person registry is a data store of user information Examples –Central ID Repository (CIDR) –Friends of Penn State (FPS) –Central Accounts Coordination Tracking of User Services (CACTUS) –Integrated Student Information System (ISIS) –Integrated Business Information System (IBIS) –Many others

7 Central Person Registry From The Identity and Access Management Final Report dated 2/18/2008 A centralized person registry is a single data store that combines and consolidates identity information currently stored in separate and non- integrated sources throughout the University.

8 Central Person Registry Systems of Record Registration Authorities Database Web Services Service Providers Data Views Central Person Registry

9 CPR Data Flow - Interactive Registration Authority Apache Geronimo ESB Oracle 11i 1. SOAP Request 5. SOAP Response 2. JDBC Request 3. JDBC Response SOAP Service Service Provider JMS Request JMS Response 1.RA makes request to CPR via SOAP call 2.Service validates information and makes JDBC request to the database. 3.Database responds to request via JDBC 4.Service determines which service providers need to be notified and does so via JMS 5.Services sends a SOAP response back to RA JMS Request JMS Response 4.

10 CPR Data Flow - Batch Batch Inputs CPR Batch Processor Oracle 11i 1. Upload Request 2. SQL*Loader JDBC Response Service Provider JMS Request JMS Response 1.Batch data is acquired from various sources and uploaded to the CPR batch processor. 2.Batch processor uses a combination of SQL*Loader and stored procedures to load the data. 3.Batch processor determines which service providers need to be notified and does so via JMS JMS Request JMS Response 3.

11 Requirement Sources Existing Registries –CACTUS, CIDR, FPS Regulations and Legislation University Sources –Survey –Interview Sessions –Use Cases External Sources

12 Regulations and Legislation University Policies –AD11 - University Policy on Confidentiality of Student Records –AD19 - Use of Penn State Identification Number and Social Security Number –AD20 - Computer and Network Security –AD23 - Use of Institutional Data –AD35 - University Archives and Records Management –AD22 - Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) HEOA - Higher Education Opportunity Act Red Flag Rules PCI - Payment Card Industry

13 Data Model Design based on concepts derived from CACTUS, FPS and CIDR data models Guiding principles –The data model shall only store information related to identity. –The data model shall store information necessary for matching. –The data model shall store information necessary for life cycle changes. Must support current functionality and include flexibility to change as needed

14 Data Model Contact information –Name(s), addresses, phones and E-Mail addresses Identity Information –Digital identities (PSU ID and credentials) –Date of birth and gender Identity Assurance Profile Information Affiliation Information

15 Service Model A Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) Web Services SOAP Enterprise Service Bus JDBC and stored procedures JMS

16 Service Model - SOA IAM will move to SOA from the world of batch processing and flat files SOA Guiding principals –Reuse, granularity, modularity, composability, componentization and interoperability. –Standards-compliance –Services identification and categorization, provisioning and delivery, and monitoring and tracking.

17 Service Model - SOA Important features of SOA for IAM: –Standardized service contract between provider and consumer. –Service reusability - services are developed as building blocks in which logic can be reused by other services. –Service abstraction - service logic is hidden from the outside world.

18 Service Model - SOAP SOAP supports a generic transport (not just HTTP) SOAP uses a formal contract between provider and consumer WS-*

19 Service Model - SOAP WS-Security –Supports SSL –Standard implementation of data integrity and data privacy WS-AtomicTransaction –ACID (atomic, consistency, isolation, durability) transactions WS-ReliableMessaging –SOAP has successful/retry logic built in and provides end-to-end reliability even through SOAP intermediaries.

20 Service Model - Enterprise Service Bus Standard integration platform Multiple event-driven messaging modalities Provides a set of core services: –transformation –routing –proxy –logging –Apache CXF framework for SOAP –Automatic WSDL generation Ease the burden of integration of large number of heterogeneous systems

21 Service Model - Enterprise Service Bus Apache Geronimo –http://geronimo.apache.org/http://geronimo.apache.org

22 JDBC and Stored Procedures JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) API –Industry standard for database-independent connectivity between Java and SQL databases –For IAM purposes JDBC is only used to call stored procedures. –Geronimo provides a database connection pools Why Stored Procedures? –Enables the encapsulation of complex database logic into a highly optimized database object. –Precompiled enables faster performance than in- line Java code.

23 Java Message Service (JMS) Message Oriented Middleware (MOM) API for sending messages between two or more clients. Supports two models –Point to point (queuing) Will be used to communicate with specific service providers to request actions, for example provision authentication for a user. –Publish and subscribe IAM will provide a facility where entities can subscribe to messages related to user information changes.

24 Service Model Authentication and Authorization –Spring framework or similar framework will be used for authentication. –Authorization will be performed using a policy engine like Drools.

25 Service Model All services return a service code and status message indicating the result of executing the service. All service calls are logged for auditing purposes. Messages between a service and service provider(s) can be queued if there are any failures.

26 Service Model The initial set of IAM services will be centered around the CPR and will include: –Applications and system access to the CPR information. –Management services for maintaining: Identities, contact information, affiliations, PSU IDs, Penn State Access Account user ids, sponsored accounts, identity assurance profiles. –Matching services (with the goal of minimizing duplicate identities in central systems). –Address validation services. Additional IAM services will be developed as the project matures

27 Service Providers Service provider –An entity that provides services to other entities. –Examples: authentication, LDAP and so on. Communications between SOAP services and a service provider will be done using Java Messaging Service (JMS). –JMS API is a Java Message Oriented Middleware (MOM) API for sending messages between two or more clients –JMS queuing available from Geronimo is Apache’s ActiveMQ.

28 Production Implementation All of the services are being developed using Java. Services interact with the database using JDBC. All of the database manipulation is done with Oracle PL/SQL stored procedures. All Java services are tested using JUnit 4.0 test cases and test coverage of at least 85% is required. Documentation is done using JavaDoc.
