| | 11 | ==== Description ==== |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | This meeting will seek agreement on an approach to authorization in |
| | 14 | GENI. A proposed way forward will be presented along with possible |
| | 15 | alternatives, followed by open discussion. |
| | 16 | |
| | 17 | GENI requires an authorization solution that will allow |
| | 18 | architectural components (Clearinghouse, Aggregates) to determine |
| | 19 | the privileges of an experimenter. Experimenters can be granted |
| | 20 | privileges based on institutional affiliation, project role or |
| | 21 | membership attributes, for instance. Aggregates are expected to have |
| | 22 | local policies regarding resource access and use. |
| | 23 | |
| | 24 | There are two proposed solutions in use by current control framework |
| | 25 | projects, credentials and attributes. Credentials bind a set of |
| | 26 | roles or privileges with an experimenter and a slice. Attributes |
| | 27 | denote individual properties of an experimenter and are grouped to |
| | 28 | determine privileges. There are pros and cons to both |
| | 29 | approaches. Stakeholders will discuss both approaches and reach |
| | 30 | consensus on a way forward for authorization in GENI. |
