Summary
We propose in this project the development of a distributed collaborative environment, which will constitute a virtual laboratory for multidisciplinary research projects related to oceanographic remote sensing. We will give an overview and the current state of this project, and concretely we will show the security access management module. We propose a well balanced solution between security and simplicity based on the integration of several technologies, where a user can either be registered through a web portal using a portlets system or access directly via Shibboleth. Grid access and job execution are controlled by a Role Base Access Control system (RBAC) that makes use of attribute certificates for the users and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).
