OpenID Connect for Linux

Zurück zur Themenliste

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:

• OpenID Connect
• OAuth 2.0
• Json Web Tokens (JWT)
• Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
• Security Considerations

And you will implement:

• a RESTful webservice
• remote execution of code, e.g. using a ssh-connection
• multiple different plugins for the services that need authorization/authentication

Goals

• Requirement specification (Pflichtenheft)
• System Design (Systementwurf)
• Implementation (Implementierung)
• Validation (Validierung (Qualitätskontrolle/Softwaretest))
• Projektabnahme und Abschlussveranstaltung

Requirements

• English
• Linux
• Python, even better: Erlang

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
