Difference: AuthZinMM (1 vs. 4)

where:

• fqan is either a LITERAL NODE or an ATTRREF NODE which should evaluate to string representing the Fully Qualified Attribute Name (FQAN) we are performing the access control list membership for;
• acl is an EXPR LIST NODE or an ATTRREF NODE which should evaluate to a list of string representing the Access Control rules we are matching the first argument (fqan) against.

In order to maintain the same space of authorization rules, the splitting between the ClassAd representation of a CE and the relevant views is performed by computing the set intersection of the GlueCEAccessControlBaseRule information:

set_intersection([CE].GlueCEACBR,  [View i].GlueCEACBR)

where [CE] is the ClassAd representing the CE and [View i] is the i-th view defined for such a CE. If some entry in [CE].ACBR has not been mapped to any VOView defined for such a CE, then a CE ad with ACBR value equal to the list of such entries is also inserted in the ISM.

In other words, for each VOView defined for a CE, the system inserts a ClassAd that is constructed by

• taking the CE information
• replacing the CE info with VOView info if published (i.e. EstimatedResponse-Time)
• replacing the CE ACBR with the VOView ACBR

After processing all the VOView for a given CE, we check whether there are ACBRs in the generic CE block which were not present in any VOView block (not mapped to any Views), or not. Accordingly, a final CE ad which comprises the CE information along with the list of the orphan CE ACBRs is generated and inserted in the ISM.

As an example let’s consider the following scenario where a computing element providing access to tree different VOs has only two of these VOs bound to voviews:

dn: GlueCEUniqueID=wn-04-01-03-a.cr.cnaf.infn.it:2119/jobmanager-lcglsf-cms,
mds-vo-name=local,o=grid

[...]
GlueCEAccessControlBaseRule: VO:cms
GlueCEAccessControlBaseRule: VO:atlas
GlueCEAccessControlBaseRule: VO:gilda 
[...]

dn: GlueVOViewLocalId=cms-view,GlueCEUniqueID=wn-04-01-03-a.cr.cnaf.infn.it:2119/
jobmanager-lcglsf-cms,mds-vo-name=local,o=grid

[...]
GlueCEAccessControlBaseRule: VO:cms
[...]

dn: GlueVOViewLocalId=atlas,GlueCEUniqueID=wn-04-01-03-a.cr.cnaf.infn.it:2119/
jobmanager-lcglsf-atlas,mds-vo-name=local,o=grid

[...]
GlueCEAccessControlBaseRule: VO:atlas
[...]

Clearly, the space of authorization rules the computing element provides, is not entirely covered by the rules the Views supplies with. In such a case, in order to authorize users matching the third access control base rule, also the initial computing element classad specification should be inserted in the ISM and the GlueCEAccessControlBaseRule accordingly modified.

AuthorizationCheck = ( member(other.CertificateSubject, GlueCEAccessControlBaseRule) || member(strcat("VO:",other.VirtualOrganisation), GlueCEAccessControlBaseRule) || FQANmember(strcat("VOMS:",other.VOMS_FQAN), GlueCEAccessControlBaseRule) ) && ! FQANmember(strcat("DENY:",other.VOMS_FQAN), GlueCEAccessControlBaseRule);

We check if either the certificate subject or the virtual organization the user belongs to is member of the GlueCEAccessControlBaseRule (ACBR henceforth in text) of the CE.

The third expression in logical OR condition has been added in order to support generic attributes specification in the ACBR and tests for ownership of the primary FQAN specified in the user-proxy. The VOMS_FQAN attribute in the JDL is assigned with such a value.

The classad built-in member function, while testing for ownership in the ACBR list, uses a lexical match (classic string compare). The FQANmember function as the list mernership built-in fuction member(V,L) takes two arguments: the FQAN and the list of ACBR. The FQANmember returns true if and only if the FQAN is a member of the ACBR list and uses an ad-hoc comparator while testing for ownership.

The MM receives the authorization information i.e. ACBR from the classad representation of a CE, which is generated starting from the information the BDII publishes for that CE.
