perfsonar development work

[Cándido Rodríguez Montes <>]

Hi all,

Diego López has brought me a "fantastic" photo from the Cambridge meeting about which steps should be executed in order to use the Authorization Service, so I can send you a more exhaustived diagram.

I attach in this email the activity diagram of a perfSONAR service when it receives a request from a client:

1. It receives the request and processes it.

2.a It checks the requested type of operation and if it needs an authorization:

2.1. It has to create a Security Token. It must receive a certificate or a saml assertion in the request, so the service has to choose which kind of Security token wants to create.

2.2. Next, it creates an Authorization Request using that Security Token.

2.3. Then, using the AADispatchManager it sends the request.

2.4. Receiving the AuthZ Response, we can now create the perfSONAR service response.

2.b It doesn't need any authorization for the response, so it creates it. 

3. It sends the response to the client

Regards
