Jill Gemmill Barry Johnson Directory Enabled AuthN/Z at Clemson LDAP yesterday, Shibboleth tomorrow
Early adopters of Directories • Since mid 1990’s • Event-driven provisioning into/from directory • Developers of DirXML (Novell Identity Manager) • Use of Blackboard as GUI for collaborative spaces
Auto-provisioned Tools per VO • Address Book • Blog Tool • Calendar • Drop Box • EDU Assessment Tool • Glossary • HomePage • My Files • mySQL Database • Organization Portfolio • Search • Survey Tool • Tasks • Wiki • General Web Space • -Etc!
So, why Shibboleth? • Placing attributes and also Access Control Roles in Directory became cumbersome to enforce correctly for each application • Had come to conclusion that attribute based access control was needed, and Shibboleth appeared to be best solution available.
Shibboleth today at Clemson • Production Shibboleth IdP • In use for a few applications, including a GridShib CA for use in Open Science Grid • Plans in place to migrate current applications to Shibboleth Service Providers • State-wide consortium : Health Sciences South Carolina
Health Sciences South Carolina http://www.healthsciencessc.org/
HSSC Shibboleth Working Group • Clemson University • Greenville Hospital System University Medical Center • Palmetto Health • Medical University of South Carolina • University of South Carolina • Spartanburg Regional Health Care System
Grids Today at Clemson • Condor Pool : A campus grid linking over 1700 machines distributed across 27 locations on campus providing a high throughput computing resource for all faculty and students in need of a loosely coupled computer system to run thousands of jobs. Applications from civil engineering, economics and chemistry have already benefited.
Grids and Shibboleth…Coming Soon • Access to HPC/HTC resources will be authorized using Shibboleth, consistent with other campus applications • Collaboration environments such as myVocs, Sharpe will be used as guides to revising Clemson’s existing access control and provisioning systems.
