Abstract
This paper describes an information model based on CIM (Common Information Model) for the policy-based management of the OGSA (Open Grid Services Architecture) security services, and shows a case of study for the authorization service. Currently, OGSA defines a set of security services and presents a management infrastructure based on policies, but there is no definition of a management model to be used over it. The lack of such a model makes difficult to build an efficient, well-integrated security management system. However, a model based on a well-recognized standard, such as CIM, enables the management of these security services in a uniform manner. CIM includes schemes for several areas such as User and Security for the identity and privilege management, and Policy for if-then rules and their groupings and applicability. Moreover, CIM is extensible and can be easily adapted to new OGSA security services and/or requirements that could be defined in the future.
