Central Authorization System Proposal for NPTF funding November 2006
Central AuthZ System • Build a central authorization system that could be utilized by applications across the University • Utilize Penn Community data and school/center created lists to facilitate authorization decisions • Allow Schools and Centers to build and reuse authorization information across applications • Provide sophisticated group management capabilities, such as subgroups and composite groups, to support access management needs.
Central AuthZ System: Benefits • Facilitate consistent application of University business rules • Managed through a common UI and standard API • Streamline maintenance of authorization data • Bring scattered redundant groups together for re-use • Allow useful actions on these groups -- group math, group nesting, exclusion criteria • Leverage Penn Community data for accurate, up to date authorization decisions • Can leverage existing attribute information • Support the creation of new groups • By schools, departments, and individuals! • Distributed/delegated model of control
Central AuthZ System: Current Implementation Base • More than 80 institutions are currently evaluating or implementing central authorization technology. • Partial listing of where systems are in production or nearing a production cutover. • Stanford • Brown • Cornell University • Duke University • National Cancer Institute (caBIG - Cancer BioInformatics Grid) • South China University of Technology • University of Bristol • University of Chicago • University of Kansas • University of Southern California • University of Wisconsin
Central AuthZ System: Costs • ISC would fund initial development and deployment (~$150,000) • Proposal for $110,000 annual ongoing funding from NPTF (1 FTE + HW & facilities) • Estimated at $.18/IP address/month
