----------------------------------------
Hi Hasini,
Please refer to [1] for some brief discussion on this topic. In Scenario 2 of
your document (figure 3) does wso2IS currently have such user store extension
or will it have to be written? What will be the requirement of Gateway User
Store? I am assuming most of these include a custom mysql user management or
some use bundled postgre database like with drupal/wordpress.

> Apache Airavata uses Thrift based API's for external facing API's and for
> system internal CPI's. The API's need to be secured adding authentication and
> authorization capabilities.
> The Authentication need to ensure only approved users/clients can
> communicate. Similarly clients should only interact with valid servers.
> Authorization need to be enforced to ensure only users with specific roles
> can appropriately access specific API's. As an example, administrative roles
> should be able see all the users experiments where as end users can only see
> his/her data and not access other information (unless explicitly shared).
> Earlier GSoC project focused on this topic has relavent discussion.
