Abstract

In this paper we present a novel Virtual Organizations management system called UVOS, developed within the Chemomentum project. It is a complete and production ready solution aiming at simplicity of deployment and management without sacrificing a flexibility and functionality. The system can be also used as an underlying technology for more high level solutions. The system was designed mainly for the UNICORE grid middleware but, as it uses the open SAML protocol and implements numerous SAML profiles, its adoption for other grid middlewares is straightforward. The paper compares the UVOS system to the other existing and popular solutions: VOMS and Shibboleth used with GridShib.
