UABgrid Identity Infrastructure

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:UABgrid Identity Infrastructure (ID: SER08063)
Author(s):John-Paul Robinson (University of Alabama at Birmingham)
Origin:Presented at Southeast Regional Conferences (06/02/2008)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:

This presentation will describe the identity management infrastructure of the UAB grid computing project, known as UABgrid. Its development is based on accomplishments of two NSF middleware projects at UAB, which focused on building NMI-enabled, open source tools for support of collaboration within virtual organizations that span institutional boundaries, are autonomous, and are collections of attributes. The middleware solution is known as myVocs and uses Shibboleth for identity management and attribution distribution, Globus for distributed computations, and GridShib to bind Shibboleth and Globus. UABgrid is now expanding its grid computing components to include metascheduling of jobs across multiple HPC clusters across the Internet.

Title:Spotlight On Identity Management: MCommunity to Improve IT Service Provisioning at the University of Michigan (ID: SPTIDM085)
Author(s):Elizabeth A. Salley (University of Michigan-Ann Arbor) and Luke Tracy (University of Michigan-Ann Arbor)
Origin:EDUCAUSE Live! Spotlight, Web Seminars Contributed by EDUCAUSE (05/19/2008)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:

MCommunity is a new enterprise directory and identity management system under development at the University of Michigan, a large, decentralized institution. MCommunity will provide a central infrastructure that can be used not only for central IT service provisioning but also for service provisioning within units. Planning for and development of MCommunity is a collaborative effort across both U-M IT units and the many units that will use the new system.

MCommunity will allow the university to know who is and is not a member of the U-M community, enabling central university offices as well as departments, schools, colleges, and campuses to grant and remove access to online resources as needed and appropriate. It will provide identity management, roles management, data sharing and reconciliation, and directory services for U-M. MCommunity will bring together data from multiple institutional sources and will organize, present, and secure the data in a way that is particularly well suited to managing access to university resources.
