  1. MyProxy Nurzhan Kirbassov http://cyberaide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/lectures/seminar-grid-i-myproxy.ppt Service Oriented Cyberinfrastructure Lab, http://blackrose02.rit.edu

  2. Outline • Some terms • What are proxy credentials • What is delegation • Restrictions before MyProxy • How MyProxy solves the restrictions Service Oriented Cyberinfrastructure Lab, http://grid.rit.edu

  3. Proxy credentials • New set of private key and certificate, signed by the user’s long-term credential • Has short lifetime (usually within several hours or days) • Can be used in place of the long-term credential Service Oriented Cyberinfrastructure Lab, http://grid.rit.edu

  4. Delegation • Passing the right to act on behalf of a user • Same as proxy credential creation • Difference: made over secure network connection • Can be chained • Service that has proxy credential can create a new proxy credential Service Oriented Cyberinfrastructure Lab, http://grid.rit.edu

  5. Restrictions before MyProxy • Credentials had to be stored on user’s computer (from which you login to a web portal) • Some programs do not support proxy credentials delegation (web browsers) • User had to give his credentials every time some service needed it Service Oriented Cyberinfrastructure Lab, http://grid.rit.edu

  6. MyProxy solution • Issue short-term proxy credentials upon request • Store users’ long-term credentials on a secure server (optional) Service Oriented Cyberinfrastructure Lab, http://grid.rit.edu

  7. Step1: Submit credentials MyProxy Credential Repository Cert chain Private key myproxy-init Proxy credentials User ID Password User Service Oriented Cyberinfrastructure Lab, http://grid.rit.edu

  8. Step 2: Ask for credentials Browser (User) MyProxy myproxy-get-delegation User ID Password User ID Password Portal Proxy credential Grid Service Proxy credential Service Oriented Cyberinfrastructure Lab, http://grid.rit.edu

  9. Summary • Allows user credentials storage on a secure server • Enables user credentials delegation over the chain of services • Proxy credentials have limited lifetime (1 week by default) • Allows for better security Service Oriented Cyberinfrastructure Lab, http://grid.rit.edu
