Session 2

Authentication

  Bob - aVOMS Proposal from Andy H.

  Discuss whether or not users should have control of their private key and how little you should trust the authentication in that case.

  Discuss need to changing agreements with worldwide CAs to have a server / service acquire and hold the private keys of individuals.

Authorization

  Matt - Site Authorization server
  Rich - VO user management model
  Doug - Case study on how site authorization works now

  Who is the VO?  Sites seem to be guessing at the VO requirements.  It would be really good to have a discussion between those representing a VO and those doing the resource implementations.  For one thing, the VO reps seem to think in terms of groups and classes of users and the resource owners often don't want to have to deal with that level of complexity.
