3. Virtual Organization Definition • Grid Virtual Organization (VO) • Set of resources (computers, storage systems) • Distributed among participating organizations • Available for use by a group of users • Is defined by the grouping of resources plus the grouping of individuals, brought together for a common purpose under mutually acceptable governing rules.

7. CEOS Grid - CAs • CEOS Grid Users will not all have the same CA • We want to limit the number of CAs to the smallest possible set. • Makes management easier • Makes policy decisions easier • European users already have a high-quality operational CA • US Users are encouraged to obtain certificates from NASA IPG Grid Tech Team

8. CEOS Certificates from NASA IPG • NASA Information Power Grid (IPG) already runs a high-quality CA that is accepted by most VOs. • NASA IPG is providing CA resources for the CEOS Grid. • Current status • Certificate request software has been delivered & tested. • Operating well at 2 test sites (II, SGT) and at GMU. • Others are encouraged to try it out. • Availability http://grid-tech.ceos.org/gridwiki/CeosGridVirtualOrganization Username ceos-grid, password grid-tech • Small tar file & quick installation instructions Grid Tech Team

12. Firewall Grid Tech Team

13. General Firewall Issues • Using the Grid means that you have to make new services accessible to the internet • System administrators and security people will be uncomfortable with this • Some sites have different policies, some are set up to allow experimentation outside the firewall • What you can do • Familiarity - install & test on a machine outside the firewall, learn about the Grid • Provide information about security issues to people who need it • Develop a relationship with the people you depend on for access Grid Tech Team

14. Firewall • Tech Team has put together a firewall document http://grid-tech.ceos.org/gridwiki/FirewallBestCommonPractices • Contents • Introductory material • CEOS Grid overview; Quick primer on Grids; Globus port numbers • Site specific sections • Meant to be filled in by each site with anything you learned that might help someone else • Product specific info • Currently only one - Cisco instructions • Miscellaneous • Open Questions; References; To Do Grid Tech Team

18. Grid Components we’re Tracking • Globus 3.0 • Metadata Catalog Service (MCS) (Current version as of 8/11/03) • Open Grid Services Architecture – Data Access & Integration • (OGSA DAI 2.5 - http://www.ogsadai.org.uk/) • Community Authorization Service (CAS) Alpha R2 Release • OGSA DAI 3.0 • Ported version of MCS – planned • MCS with Spatial Query capabilities – planned • Storage Resource Broker/Metadata Catalog (SRB/MCAT) V. 2.1.2 • Globus Grid Security Infrastructure (GSI) Grid Tech Team

19. CEOS Grid Toolkit • WGISS participants are developing higher-level tools & components • GMU • OGC WCS with GridFTP back end • OGC WCS with Grid front end • OGC Catalog wrapper on Grid MCS • Reprojection service, 13 NASA EOS projections • ESA • Grid Engine - multi-Grid job management • Web Notification - Grid-to-Web events • Grid Portal - Web control of Grid applications • Reprojection Service Grid Tech Team

20. CEOS Grid Toolkit Catalog • We need to put some thought into how we want to describe the components. • Possible metadata elements (thanks to Stu Doescher): • short name • long name • summary description • pointer to additional discussion • latest version and date • maturity - new, obsolete • other parts needed • recommendations • Contact points • supported and by who • used by • Technical parts • Language • how to install • problems Grid Tech Team
