  1. Authorizing Access to Services at Penn State University Steve Kellogg, Director, Advanced Information Technologies Center for Academic Computing

  2. Authorizing Access • HOW • “Baggage” v. “Luggage” • Integrated everything • Authentication, authorization, namespace, management, filesystem • Heterogenous • What • File service • Web service • Applications • Systems • Delegation

  3. Penn State Environment • 24 Campus Locations • ~74,000 Full Time Students • ~5,000 Part Time Students • ~25,000 Employees • ~5,000 “Others”

  4. CACTUS Center for Academic Computing Tracking of User Services Backend processes Signature Stations (end user $ Auth) User Services: Access(DCE), Email, web, DFS, Database, backup, Class News, Printing, Plotting, calendar, LDAP,... Accounts Database (Oracle) • One Account, Many Services • Organize data from disparate sources • Automation ALWAYS goal • Fully extensible • Scalability of services Java/web Interface External Data sources

  5. Systems Access • Lab systems • Windows • MAC • Unix(AIX, IRIX, Solaris) • Modems • Authorized based on group membership • ISP apps • email, netnews, …

  6. DCE Production Applications • Fileservice • DFS • 50MB Home Directories • webmail, portal profiles, personal webspace • 300 MB for HPC and VIZ users • 10 MB quota increment per course • Quota reduced at end of semester • Site licenses for Solaris, AIX, NT, IRIX

  7. DCE Production Applications • Group management – Admin, HPC, Classes, Ad Hoc – Web Authorization – Shared DFS access – 3 groups typically created for each group - Delegated group management - Group, group_admin, group_owner

  8. DCE Production Applications • CAC Web Service • – AIX/Solaris/Linux • – Apache w/ & w/o mod_auth_dce • – Most content in DFS • – Load balanced w/ IBM’s Network Dispatcher • – JDBC and PerlDBI access to Oracle and DB2 • .eg MicroSoft SW distribution

  9. DCE Production Applications • Web Servers (Gradient’s NetCrusader Security Adapter) – Executive Information System (EIS) – Library access to licensed Web content (LIAS) – Purchasing Catalog – Computer & Information Systems (C&IS) Web site – Microcomputer Order Center (MOC) – Smeal College of Business – Electronic Testing Services (ETS)

  10. DCE Production Applications • Other web service • Office of Physical Plant • Linux, Apache, K5 • Office of Human resources • NT, IIS, Gradient DCE RT, VB • Lab consultant management tools • AIX, K5, C • Others that we don’t necessarily know about…

  11. DCE Mandarin • OS/390 Enterprise Server; ADABAS • NT Web Servers; WebComm.dll • Authenticated RPC client • Several services; same RPC code base • Student Apps (eLion) • Business Apps (WebIBIS) • Financial Apps (FIT) • RPC protection level • integrity • privacy

  12. PKI at PSU • CREN CA Pilot • OpenSSL • Server Certs • Short term certs • Kx509 auth in DCE cell
