Trust in a GridShib deployment is based on a bilateral arrangement between the !IdP and the Grid SP. By virtue of the fact that the two entities exchange and consume each other?s metadata, a trust relationship is established. The problem is that n entities give rise to O(n

Online Resources

The GridShib Web Site is our primary, outward-facing online resource. It contains valuable information about the project (including a brief introduction along with news, announcements, reports, and presentations) as well as important links to resources such as software distributions, archives, repositories, and various sources of end-user support. The web site is hosted by Argonne National Laboratory (whereas it was previously hosted by NCSA).

The GridShib Wiki includes four broad categories of web content: Installation, Deployment, Community, and Team. Currently, the Team section of the wiki, used primarily for internal collaboration, is most developed. We expect the other sections of the wiki to become more developed over time as the project and the software gain traction. The wiki is hosted by The Ohio State University.

All project source code is stored in the GridShib CVS Repository, which is anonymously available to all users. GridShib software is licensed under the terms of the Globus Toolkit 4.0 Public License, which itself is based on the Apache License, Version 2.0. The repository is hosted by Argonne National Laboratory.

...

gridshib-beta is an archived mailing list for end-user support. Users can obtain support for installing, configuring, and deploying the GridShib software. The mailing list is hosted by Argonne National Laboratory.

Software bugs and enhancement requests (both internal and external) are posted to GridShib Bugzilla, which is hosted by Argonne National Laboratory.

Software Components

  • Wiki Markup_GridShib Alpha_ \ [2005-05-01\]

GridShib Alpha was an initial, unreleased software component early in the project development cycle. This pre-release implementation underwent rigorous internal testing before it was repackaged and released to the general public.

Pre-beta versions of the software are available on the GridShib Archives page. However, users are encouraged to obtain the latest release of the software from the GridShib Downloads page.

  • _GridShib Beta_ \ [2005-09-06\] \ ([included|http://www.nsf-middleware.org/Lists/NMIR8/DispForm.aspx?ID=54] in [NMI-R8|http://www.nmi-edit.org/releases/index.cfm]\included in NMI-R8)

GridShib Beta is the reference implementation of the GridShib Beta Attribute Exchange Profile. GridShib Beta consists of two separate components: GridShib for Globus Toolkit and GridShib for Shibboleth. The two components may be installed and tested separately, but both components are required for complete functionality and interoperability.

GridShib Beta is available on the GridShib Downloads page. The latest source code is available for download from the GridShib CVS Repository.

  • Wiki Markup_Shibboleth !IdP Tester_ \ [2005-11-21\]

The Shibboleth !IdP Tester is a standalone software tool that tests a previously installed and tested Shibboleth Identity Provider (!IdP). A deployer can have confidence that an !IdP that passes this test will accept the GridShib for Shibboleth plugin.
