ITANA Discussion 2012:  The notes for the ITANA Discussion 2012

ITANA (un)Conference 2012:  Two topics made it to the top for this (un)Conference: the first was a high-level architectural framework for Teaching and Learning.  This includes a capability map.  Watch for a working group to form on this topic.  The second was a framework for walking people through ITANA's works and other resources.  This framework includes a high-level business process flow and links to case studies or resources.  Watch for a call to discuss how this could shape ITANA's work.

Thursday - April 30th

Morning Presentations:

• Enterprise Authorization - Marina Arseniev, Chair
  • Enterprise Authorization presents challenges from the technology perspective but surfaces even more challenges from the business and cultural requirements perspective. The recent decision to put Internet2's SIGNET technology on hold is one indicator of the difficulty of erecting an institution-wide authorization solution. But what is meant by the "Enterprise"? What scope is assumed? What is the appropriate level of granularity? For a truly effective strategy that meets accountability and audit demands, must authorization encompass Student Services, Research Management, Payroll / HR Services, Athletics, Financial Systems, and other business and academic units of an institution? And what about integration with vendor packages or popular new community source solutions such as Kuali? Do authorization and access control primarily encompass web services or must they include operating system access, log file access, door keys, and password access? Not only is it enough to know who had access to what and when, it is also important to know who granted access to whom and when, and who revoked access and when.

• • This session will discuss why enterprise authorization is so elusive for so many of our institutions; it will be a forum to share successes and failures. The goal is to define what specific actionable steps or decisions architects across our campuses might be able to make that bring vision and clarity back to their organizations.

• Kuali on Campus - David Walker, Chair
  • Abstract goes here

• SOA and Interoperability - Tom Dopirak, Chair
  • This session will focus on the issues of utilizing SOA across organizational boundaries but within a federation. Underlying SOA technology typically consists of a web services framework supported by service registries, enterprise service buses , identity management and access management systems. What kinds of policy agreements and what kinds of technical agreements are necessary for federated SOA to be possible? What additional agreements are necessary for existing federations to support SOA interoperability? What services are likely to be shared in a federation using SOA architectural ideas and supporting technology?

• Federation support in Kuali and other SOA/ROA systems - R.L. "Bob" Morgan, Chair
  • Federated access to web-based applications by users using web browsers is becoming mainstream in higher ed. Meanwhile, campuses are developing web services frameworks to support service-oriented application integration on their campuses. The lack of widely-accepted standards for web service authentication leads to the likelihood that each campus does its own thing regarding client process authentication to web services. This may preclude the possibility of inter-campus web service access. The same skew may apply across different application environments.

• • Are there compelling use cases for inter-campus process-to-service access? Does common deployment of SOA-based applications like Kuali Student create more of these? Are there standards that we can promote to make such access likely? Can we leverage trust federations set up for browser-based access?

• • We will consider all these questions and find answers or at least increase the likelihood of answers being found later.
