Description

We are working at the European scientific project called INDIGO Data Cloud. As part of that there is a need to harmonize identities all over the European Federations and provide an easy to use single sing on system.

This is where you come into play! You will implement a service that will enable a user to login at a single-sign-on system and use those credentials to do e.g. ssh, ftp or even S3.

Our Idea is a RESTful service with a plugin-interface. Plugins will be provided and implemented on a end-service base.

So during your PSE you will be working with:


And you will implement:

  • a RESTful webservice
    • multiple clients
    • multiple concurrent requests
    • a management GUI (e.g. a website)
  • remote execution of code, e.g. using a ssh-connection (could be by using Anisble)
  • multiple different plugins for the services that need authorization/authentication

Goals

  • Meet the PSE Goals
    • Requirement specification (Pflichtenheft)
    • System Design (Systementwurf)
    • Implementation (Implementierung)
    • Validation (Validierung (Qualitätskontrolle/Softwaretest)
    • Final Report (Projektabnahme und Abschlussveranstaltung)
  • Get better knowledge about authentication and authorization
  • Learn about client/server communications
  • Get better at understanding of systems, designing and implementing them
  • Learn about the Linux Operating System
  • Have fun

Requirements

  • English (all documentations/presentations will be in English)
  • Linux (basic knowledge, you should have seen the command line)
  • Python (basic knowledge)
  • eager to learn new things

What we provide

  • an international group of smart and fun people
  • several virtual machines as playground (yes, Linux and root ;) )
  • a PSE project that will be used for real later on
