5. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI-508833 Site Access Control LCAS/LCMAPS and Unix-domain limitations, September 12, 2005 5 Local Authorization Today Current Implementation –Only a limited set of PDPs:  ban/allow and VOMS-ACL –Authorization interface is proprietary (at least for C/C++)  change foreseen soon to a ‘v2’ standard interface –Policy Enforcement Point (PEP) part of the (container) runtime (i.e. all evaluation is in-line)  source modifications needed to legacy (C-based) services (GT gatekeeper, GridFTP server)  AuthZ framework for Java as loadable classes –No separate authorization service (no site-central checking) –Policy format is not XACML everywhere (i.e. GACL)

Some additional PDPs –Policy OID checking –Proxy certificate lifetime constraints –Limit to specific executable programs –… Standard white list, blacklist service for all services Better integration between Java and C worlds & the upcoming standards

14. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI-508833 Site Access Control LCAS/LCMAPS and Unix-domain limitations, September 12, 2005 14 Summary Control over running jobs is via site mechanisms Authorization to (Java) services part of container –Fine-grained control is left as a service specific issue –Standard hooks for this are about to appear Mapping of credentials required for legacy programs –limited to Unix domain account mechanisms –Needs to remain manageable for site administrators –Scheduling/priorities based on Unix user and group names –Accounting based on uid, gid pairs –Unix domain is not very flexible. Sorry. Virtualisation is coming, but how far down the road?
