Abstract

Authentication interoperability between the UNICORE grid middleware system and other Grid middleware systems is addressed. An approach to extending the UNICORE authentication model to support a proxy certificate (RFC3280) profile is presented. This optional feature can then be enabled based on site policy. Furthermore, the addition capacitates further advances related to authorization.With interoperability becoming a key issue in many production environments, extending the generality of UNICORE in this way opens up the possibility of direct and general interoperability scenarios.
