Title
ROAM: An Authorization Manager for Grids
Abstract
The Resource Oriented Authorization Manager (ROAM) was created to provide a simple but flexible authorization system for the FusionGrid computational grid. ROAM builds on and extends previous community efforts by both responding to access authorization requests and by pro- viding a Web interface for resource management. ROAM works with the Globus Resource Allocation Manager (GRAM), and is general enough to be used by other vir- tual organizations that use Globus middleware or X.509/TLS authentication schemes to secure a grid of distributed resources. In addition to describing ROAM, this paper discusses the basic design parameters of a grid authorization system and the reasons for the choices made in the ROAM design.
