  • There are 3 key groups doing basic model work – and these groups have a close working relationship: OGSA, GLUE, and RM, as well as other groups such as JSDL and BES that provide input to this model work. At this session we will show the model plan / relationships and then review/discuss the OGSA information model architecture document.

<4> Express Authentication Profiles

• Date: Oct. 18 (Thursday)
• Time: 3:15-4:45pm
• Location: Leonesa II
• Owner: Duane Merrill

• description
  • Planning for the interoperability of Grid entities is a difficult problem, particularly with respect to secure communication. In many cases, defining a minimum set of common secure communication requirements for all usage scenarios is simply not possible. Despite this, we can still facilitate interoperability by profiling popular and commonly-used security mechanisms and, most importantly, a mechanism to advertise/discover these secure communication requirements. This allows a Grid community to self-select such requirements that are appropriate and then leverage these profiles as necessary to achieve interoperability between its members (and/or cleanly discover where interoperability is not possible).
  • In this session we present the OGSA Basic Security Profile 2.0 suite of profiles (colloquially known as the "Express Authentication Profile"). These documents profile the use of WS-SecurityPolicy to express the WS-I BSP -compliant secure communication mechanisms required by an OGSA endpoint within WS-Addressing EPRs.

• agenda
  • Presentation of the Profile Suite:
    • Motivation for its creation
    • How it fits into the WS/OGSA paradigm
    • The relationships of the component profiles (Secure Addressing, Secure Transport, and Secure SOAP) to each other, to their referenced specifications, and to the older OGSA Security Profile 1.0 documents.

• Invite whom

<5> Information Services

• Date: Oct. 18 (Thursday)
• Time: 5-6:30pm
• Location: Leonesa II

• description
  • The OSGA Information Services group is investigating what standards are required in the area of information services. Building upon the experience gained in the highly successful gin-info activity, the group is first understanding the problems faced with interoperability between existing systems in order it identify key areas where standardization would be of benefit.

• agenda
  • Problem Description
  • Overview of the gin-info activity.
  • Description of existing systems
  • The generic architecture of an information system
  • Suggested areas for standardization.
  • Discussion on possible directions

• Invite whom
