Umbrellaisthe Authentication andAuthorisation Infrastructure (AAI) conceptforthe Photon and Neutron community Itisthefirst time that such a kindof IT environmentisoffered: • European wide • Community overlapping • Sharedbetween different EU projects
Whatarethepresentandupcominguserneeds? Future useroperationatlarge scalefacilities • 40% oftheusers do experimentsat different facilities, transfacilityaccessforusers. • Accestoandmanagementof experimental data (also withinthecollaboration). • Online entrymode: remote experimentaccess • Access toefficientdataanalysistools. • Minimal administrationloadforusers. • Remote fileaccess. At the end all this needs a unique persistent user identification to have unified access to these tools.
Umbrellaispartofseveral FP7 projects: • EuroFEL- ESFRI project Free Electron Lasers of Europe • PaNData-Europe, PaNData ODI- FP7 projects • CRISP – Cluster projectof different ESFRI projects • CALIPSO – I3 synchrotroncommunity • NMI3 - I3 neutroncommunity • BioStruct-X – renewalof I3 ELISA FP7 (onlystruct. biol) • Instruct – ESFRI project

Umbrella Characteristics Overview
Umbrellaisthebasisforvarioususerservicesunderdevelopment Umbrella Characteristics • Info & serviceportal • European proposalsupport (NMI3 & CALIPSO) • Remote experimentaccess • Remote fileaccess • Metadatacatalogue (iCAT) Without a unique identifier it will not be possible to have unified access and work with these tools.
Umbrella Characteristics Concept • Unique persistent Identifier on EU scale • independent of home institution • life time account • account owned by the user • single sign-on • no possibility for cross-facility information pull • waterproof but slim data protection system
Umbrella Characteristics Incorporate confidentiality aspects • high competition, especially structural biology • time-window-structured access to experiments and data. Authorisation is delegated to the systems participating in Umbrella • for highest grade of independence • in heterogeneous environments • no complicated trust relationships
Umbrella Characteristics Rely on existing local user office structure • Great experience • Do It Yourself operation by the user • Users: manage their personal entries • User offices: supervising; manage authorizations • Principal investigators: have responsibility for their teams and can handle authorization within their group Base system on professional authentication standard • Shibboleth, federated Single-Sign-On System (SAML), widely used • Special photon / neutron user federation • Supervising by the local User Offices
Umbrella Status In operation • Basic Umbrella https://umbrellaid.org/euu/ • Geo DNS (server Umbrella distributed between different facilities) In progress • Access to Umbrella via EduGain (Geant 3+, Switch) • Login with account home institution (Universities etc.) • Link of Umbrella to Moonshot (Geant 3+ , non web based access) • Remote experiment access • Access to iCAT metadata catalogue via Umbrella
Bridging of Umbrella to other federations Part 1: Why to bridge? Part 2: What to bridge? Part 3: How to bridge?
Part 1: Whytobridge? Fromtheprevious FIM 4R meetingsitbecameveryclear: • The variousresearchcommunitieshave such different needsthatone FIM solutionfor all isimpossible. • Wewanttooffertheusers a homogeneousefficient easy touseplatform • Thereforebridgingbetweenthe different researchfederations (socialmedia, cloud).
Why to bridge? Creating a new account is often criticized
Why to bridge? User already know their home institution credentials
Why to bridge? • Bring people together from different federations (cultures) • Not yet another account • People already know their home institution account
What to bridge? • National research and education networks (NRENs)
What to bridge? • eduGain • Grid solutions • Commercial federations
For bridging also slim concept • Minimal administration • User driven (minimalisation of legal requirements) • Via mapping table bridging for each individual user Use cases prototype • Bridging to GRID • EduGain (Switch)
