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:
* [http://openid.net/connect/ OpenID Connect]
* [http://oauth.net/2/ OAuth 2.0]
* [http://jwt.io/ Json Web Tokens (JWT)]
* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_Directory_Access_Protocol Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)]
* Security Considerations
* replication and high availability

And you will implement:
* a RESTful webservice
** multiple clients
** multiple concurrent requests
* remote execution of code, e.g. using a ssh-connection (could be by using [http://www.ansible.com/ 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))
** Projektabnahme und Abschlussveranstaltung
* Get better knowledge about authentication and authorization
* Learn about client/server communication
* Get better at coding / maybe learn a new language
* Learn about the Linux Operating System
* Have fun

=Requirements=
* English (at least basic)
* Linux (basic knowledge, you should have seen the command line)
* Python (basic knowledge)
* Erlang (optional)
* eager to learn new things

= What we provide =
* a 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
