<p class=MsoNormal>Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Some of you have asked me about using PyDAP with ESG
security. I’ve made a new test deployment of this at the BADC which for
the first time secures data with the CMIP5 access role managed by PCMDI. The
data (CMIP3 for the purposes of this test), is available here:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://pampero.badc.rl.ac.uk/dap/badc/cmip3_drs/">http://pampero.badc.rl.ac.uk/dap/badc/cmip3_drs/</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The directory structure can be browsed without any
restrictions but to download files you need to apply at the PCMDI Gateway for ‘CMIP5
Research’ membership:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://pcmdi3.llnl.gov">http://pcmdi3.llnl.gov</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>and then go to ‘Account’, login and apply for
Group Membership for ‘CMIP5 Research’.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The PyDAP service is secured with the latest version of the
Python ESGF security implementation. This uses an Authorisation Service which
calls out to PCMDI’s <i>Attribute Service</i> to query users’
entitlement to CMIP5 access roles. It is the first end-to-end test with PyDAP
of the complete federated security: single sign on with OpenID/PKI based
authentication and authorisation service linking to PCMDI.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’d be interested to hear from you especially if you have
entitlement to the ‘CMIP5 Research’ role and can try out access. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Cheers,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Phil<o:p></o:p></p>
