Observations on the CAS architecture made from the Generic AAA perspective. 3rd Global Gridforum Oct. 7-10th 2001 Frascati - Italy Leon Gommans lgommans@science.uva.nl University of Amsterdam Advanced Internet Research Group GGF - 3 / Leon Gommans - UvA
Objectives • Give a better feeling of AAA environments. • AAA concepts regarding user administration in multi-domain environments. • Envisaged examples: • Role generic AAA in combination with CAS expanded towards the user • Role generic AAA in combination with CAS expanded towards the service. • More info: http://www.aaaarch.org GGF - 3 / Leon Gommans - UvA

Internet Roots • AAA roots in the “dial-in” environment where NAS use AAA servers to Authenticate & Authorize users and allow Accounting. • Need was generated by recognition that user-administration at or near the service equipment does not scale very well. GGF - 3 / Leon Gommans - UvA
The “VO” from AAA perspective • Example based on a highly simplified model of the SURFNET “Student Online” facility. • The “VO” can be defined as the group of students and University Employees. The VO is offered free internet access if they belong to any Dutch University • User administration is done by each individual university • Each university is responsible for their own users towards the service. GGF - 3 / Leon Gommans - UvA
Flexibility of AAA allows: • User organizations to outsourcing their dail-in service to one or more 3rd parties. • Service organizations to host multiple organizations requiring dail-in facilities. • Agreements can be implemented using a standards based protocol (RADIUS). • RADIUS allows User organizations or Agents to migrate to other Service Providers. • An agent, using proxy AAA to change its service without affecting the agreement with its customers. • A service organization to have ultimate authority over its users.
