Hi,

I would like to have a conf call next Tuesday (24/07) at 16:00 CEST to make the point about the Authentication service and its utilisation by the first web-service and visualisation tool.

Oook, but I'm going to leave the conf call at 17:00, because I'll have to take a train.

So the the AS has been implemented. One java class for the perfsonar services has been implemented and one java class for automatic client has been implemented.

The goal is to go over the action planned strawman and fix dates for the different actions. This would be followed by a weekly status update conf call.

The next steps are the following (strawman proposal) for the end of August - early September :

1. Deploy the Authentication Service - Candido

1.1. Make it work with Edugain - Candido

1.2. Have a tool which host credentials - Maurizio (GIdP)

1.3. Test inter-action with eduGAIN and GIdP - Candido

As you can see at http://wiki.perfsonar.net/jra1-wiki/index.php/Authentication_Service_resources , the AS was deployed the last week of June. The end point is: http://homer.rediris.es:8080/perfSONAR-AS/services/AuthService

I've received the last week the eduGAIN filter in a beta version. I'm starting to work with it and I hope to obtain results during this week, so we can have first interconnections with eduGAIN.

2. Verify that the Authentication java class for perfsonar web-services is part of pS base and is done properly - Roman

2.1. Documentation and wiki FAQ on how to plug the Auth class into its service - Candido

It was done. Not only Roman, but anyone can send me their feedback about the documentation and how to improve it!

2.2. Take the pS base and integrate it in a branch of the SSH/Telnet - Stijn

2.3. Test inter-action with the Authentication service (need 1.3) - Stijn

2.4. Report on experience to the group - Stijn

3. Visualisation tool

3.1. Integration of the Automated client java class within CNM. Issue, the collection mechanism for CNM are in pert thus the java class will not work.

Either we can have the class for a user behind a client (pSUI or looking glass) or we translate the automatic client class from java to perl.

3.2. test of the visualisation with the SSH/Telnet MP (need 2.3)

3.2. Documentation on how to use the java/perl class for another visualisation (+ add wiki FAQ)

4. Based on the experience of 2, the RRD MA, SQL MA (and LS?) implement and the Auth module.

What do you mean 'implement Auth module'? In Cambridge we agreed Candido will prepare the implementation of  AuthN component, based on auxiliary component interface, generic for all pS java services.

Roman

Yes, in the last meeting we decided not only build a library for service developers but also an AuthN component that you can configure it in the service.properties file. So, there are two ways of integrating authn in your service. More info at http://wiki.perfsonar.net/jra1-wiki/index.php/Authentication_Service_resources

Regards

4.1. Implementation of the Authentication module in perl for the perl web-services (October)

5. Implementation of the Authentication in psUI, CNM.

Best regards,
