[ogsa-wg] FW: GT4 GSI documentation

[Andrew Grimshaw]

All,

Recall last week I took an action to ask Ian for info on the post-WS GT
security documentation. Here is Ian's response. I took a quick look and
found a rich description of the API's, but have been unsuccessful so far
finding the wire format schema.  The overview is a good starting point.

Andrew:

Here is the top-level link to the latest security documentation:
http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/development/4.2-drafts/security/index.htm
l .
 
Specifically:
 
http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/development/4.2-drafts/security/message/d
eveloper/index.html#message-developer-archdes
 
http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/development/4.2-drafts/security/message/m
essage-public-interfaces.html
 
http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/development/4.2-drafts/security/GT4-GSI-O
verview.pdf. (It has not been reviewed recently, but based on a quick look
only the authorization piece has been significantly changed/enhanced.)

Ian,

Last week in the OGSA call there was a discussion of security profiles. We
were trying to find documentation on the post web services GT GSI, and could
not. If you know of some documentation - or better yet specification of the
message contents, etc., we would love to get a pointer.

 

Thanks
