The AARC pilots activity consists of 4 tasks:

  • Task1: Pilots with research communities based on use cases provided 
  • Task2: Support and pilots for e-infrastructures interoperability and integration
  • Task3: Piloting advanced use cases, new solutions and approaches based on the outcomes of JRA1 and NA3
  • Task4: Creation of showcases, deployment scenarios and documentation based on successful pilots in AARC2


Below you find a more detailed description of the activities performed within each task

Task1: Pilots with research communities based on use cases provided (lead by GARR and GRNET) 

A total of eight use-cases from research communities have been selected to pilot with AAI solutions. A support team will be created to work with the research communities to match the best solutions and architecture with those use cases. Intermediate results will be shared with the relevant communities and feedback will be used to advance the further work.

Task2: Support and pilots for e-infrastructures interoperability and integration

This task will focus on piloting AAI components and frameworks to enable transparent interoperability between infrastructures in terms of authentication and authorisation and will build on the state of the art of the AAI services provided by the infrastructures.

This task’s work will be driven by the requirements and use cases of both e-infrastructures and research infrastructures and the results of the JRA1 activity.

EGI and EUDAT

The technical integration of the EGI and EUDAT AAIs has started but we recognize that additional effort is needed to harmonise attributes and Level of Assurance (LoA) definitions. The team therefore continues to work on an earlier started joint proposal by AARC, EGI and EUDAT to harmonise the LoA of their identities for consumption by their internal services.

EUDAT and PRACE

The high-level goal of this pilot is to achieve AAI interoperability between EUDAT and PRACE and to examine how Unity technology may be used to accomplish this task. The solution consists of two components. The first one is the automatic provisioning of accounts for selected PRACE users who authenticate with x.509 certificates. EUDAT accepts these certificates and PRACE users become registered users in the EUDAT authentication and authorisation service. This gives PRACE users access to non-x.509-based EUDAT services. The second component needs to synchronise these accounts with EUDAT data services using certificate credentials.

Dariah

Implementing a Proxy-Element according to the AARC BPA in the DARIAH AAI and enabling integration with EGI

There are two consecutive and related pilots:

  1. The DARIAH AAI will be extended with a proxy according to the AARC BPA. This proxy will be based on Shibboleth and enable further interoperability endeavors.
  2. Based on the work from the first pilot, the goal of this pilot is to achieve interoperability between the DARIAH AAI and EGI. This will include harmonization of LoA and group membership expressions, according to the AARC recommendations.
