  1. The GENIUS Grid Portal Giuseppe LA ROCCAINFN Cataniagiuseppe.larocca@ct.infn.it Joint EELA/EGEEIII Tutorial for Trainers, 30.06.2008 – 04.07.2008, Catania (Italy)

  2. Outline Grid portal technology GENIUS/EnginFrame: new version 4.0 VOMS Proxy Init Service Robot Certificates Summary and Conclusions 2

  3. A grid portal: why and how • It can be accessed from everywhere and by “everything” (desktop, laptop, PDA, cell phone). • It can keep the same user interface to several back-ends. • It must be redundantly “secure” at all levels: • 1) secure for web transactions, • 2) secure for user credentials, • 3) secure for user authentication, • 4) secure at VO/VOMS level. • All available grid services must be incorporated in a logic way, just “one mouse click away”. • Its layout must be easily understandable and user friendly.

  4. GRID Portal benefits • A Grid Portal improves usability of Grids • Lowering end-user requirements for accessing the Grid • Hiding the complexity of data and job services management in the Grid • A Grid Portal improves utilization of Grids • Making the Grid (r)evolution transparent to the end-user • Providing an appealing user-friendly Web interface • Enforcing Grid utilization policies

  5. Standard protocols Grid Portal / Gateway The GRID Portal / Gateway Home Users Grid / Compute Farm Project Managers Batch Applications Licenses Internal Users Interactive Applications Client Apps Storage and Data

  7. What EnginFrame is ? • It is a web-based technology able to expose Grid services running on Grid infrastructures • It allows organizations to provide application-oriented computing and data services to both users (via Web browsers) and applications (via SOAP/WSDL and/or RSS)‏ • It’s a Grid gateway • It greatly simplifies the development of Web Portals exposing computing services that can run on a broad range of different computational Grid systems 7

  11. What GENIUS is ? • GENIUS is a powerful Grid Portal that allows scientists to exploit Grid resources only using a conventional Web browser • It has been built on top of the EnginFrame framework • It’s a gateway to European EGEE Project middle-ware • It allows to expose gLite-enabled applications via Web-browser as well as Web Services 11

  39. GENIUS: security infrastructure • All web transactions are executed under the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) via HTTPS • The user must have an account on the User Interface • When the user wants to interact with the file-system of the UI, he gets prompted for the username and password of the account on that machine • All the glite functionalities are integrated in the portal and accessible only after the creation of the voms-proxy through the applet 39

  40. Improved Security 1. Authentication with the User Interface 2. Authentication to the Grid. Input password of the user account Input password of the proxy ( specified when you execute myproxy-init )‏ 40

  41. Grid portal technology GENIUS/EnginFrame: new version 4.0 VOMS Proxy Init Service Robot Certificates Summary and Conclusions 41

  42. VOMS Proxy Init Service A CAPTCHA Code is required to start the VOMS Proxy Applet for the proxy initialization The Java plugin 1.6.0 or higher is mandatory required. 42

  43. VOMS Proxy Init Service Jointly developed by NICE and INFN Catania 43

  49. Grid portal technology GENIUS/EnginFrame: new version 4.0 VOMS Proxy Init Service Robot Certificates Summary and Conclusions 49

  50. Robot Certificates Starting from Feb. 2008 also the Italian INFN CA will start to issue Robot Certificates. Thanks to these new certificates biologists will be able to access the grid sharing the certificate installed on the portal. UK and NL CA are already issuing robot certificates The decision of the INFN CA is a great success of the BioinfoGRID project
