wiki2451: GatewayPortal

Initially the team prepared separate Community Gateways and Portals surveys. While reviewing the results of these surveys we concluded that there was no clear distinction between the terms Community Gateways and Portals as used by the various infrastructures, so we decided to create a single converged survey for both.

The results of the initial separate surveys are in this spreadsheet.

The single converged survey follows. Each participating infrastructure should complete their appropriate columns by merging and updating their answers from the initial separate surveys.

Authentication

Question	DEISA	EGEE	Naregi	OSG	TeraGrid	WestGrid	Comments
1: Can the credentials used to access gateways/portals also be used to access other grid services directly (without going thru the gateways/portals)?	DEISA?	EGEE?	Naregi?	For some communities yes, for the core infrastructure no.	NO	WestGrid?
2: Are the credentials used to access gateways/portals stored in a public identity service, such as MyProxy or OpenID?	DEISA?	EGEE?	Naregi?	For some communities yes, for the core infrastructure No	CAN BE	WestGrid?
3: Is there a TERMS OF USE statement that gateway/portal users must agree to?	DEISA?	EGEE?	Naregi?	Nothing specific. covered by the general AUP for Users and Services	GW specific	WestGrid?
4: Are these the same TERMS OF USE as for other resources in your grid?	DEISA?	EGEE?	Naregi?	Yes	NO*	WestGrid?	TG: additional community account requirements http://teragridforum.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=TG-10
5: Do you have a policy or guidelines document for gateway/portal developers? If so, please provide a URL.	DEISA?	EGEE?	Naregi?	No	YES*	WestGrid?	TG: http://www.teragrid.org/gateways
6: How do gateways/portals manage security incidents?
6a: Are they managed thru standard grid security incident channels?	DEISA?	EGEE?	Naregi?	YES	YES	WestGrid?

- Name - Which communities are serves, or ALL if available to all infrastructure users,
- Who operates it: the "grid infrastructure" or "others"? - What security trust relationship it has with the infrastructure (mutual, trusted, not trusted) - The URLs to the gateway/portal
