Updating HTrace podling page with retirement status

2018-11-26 Thread Colm O hEigeartaigh
Hi all,

Unless I'm missing something, the HTrace podling page (
http://htrace.incubator.apache.org/) has no indication that the project has
been retired (http://incubator.apache.org/projects/htrace.html). The
website should be updated to make the status clear.

Colm.

Hi Alan/Justin,

Just so that we get it right the next time, can you verify that the current
NOTICE is acceptable or does it require further changes?

Adding a podling committer

2016-04-22 Thread Colm O hEigeartaigh
Hi all,

How should a PMC add a podling committer? The Incubator documentation
points to:

http://incubator.apache.org/guides/ppmc.html

which in turn refers to:

http://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html#SVNaccess

However this is out of date, the ASF Authorization template does not exist
in SVN any more:

https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/infrastructure/trunk/subversion/authorization/asf-authorization-template

I've queried the infrastructure list about the docs being out of date but
have got no response.

 Abstract

 OpenAz is a project to create tools and libraries to enable the

 development of Attribute-based Access Control (ABAC) Systems in a
 variety of languages. In general the work is at least consistent with
 or actually conformant to the OASIS XACML Standard.

 Proposal

 Generally the work falls into two categories: ready to use tools

 which implement standardized or well understood components of an ABAC
 system and design proposals and proof of concept code relating to less
 well understood or experimental aspects of the problem.

 Much of the work to date has revolved around defining interfaces

 enabling a PEP to request an access control decision from a PDP. The
 XACML standard defines an abstract request format in xml and protocol
 wire formats in xaml and json, but it does not specify programmatic
 interfaces in any language. The standard says that the use of XML (or
 JSON) is not required only the semantic equivalent.

 The first Interface, AzAPI is modeled closely on the XACML defined

 interface, expressed in Java. One of the goals was to support calls to
 both a PDP local to the same process and a PDP in a remote server.
 AzAPI includes the interface, reference code to handle things like the
 many supported datatypes in XACML and glue code to mate it to the open
 source Sun XACML implementation.

 Because of the dependence on Sun XACML (which is XACML 2.0) the

 interface was missing some XACML 3.0 features. More recently this was
 corrected and WSo2 has mated it to their XACML 3.0 PDP. Some work was
 done by the JPMC team to support calling a remote PDP. WSo2 is also
 pursuing this capability.

 A second, higher level interface, PEPAPI was also defined. PEPAPI is

 more intended for application developers with little knowledge of
 XACML. It allows Java objects which contain attribute information to be
 passed in. Conversion methods, called mappers extract information from
 the objects and present it in the format expected by XACML. Some
 implementers have chosen to implement PEPAPI directly against their
 PDP, omitting the use of AzAPI. Naomaru Itoi defined a C++ interface
 which closely matches the Java one.

 Examples of more speculative work include: proposals for registration

 and dispatch of Obligation and Advice handlers, a scheme called AMF to
 tell PIPs how to retrieve attributes and PIP code to implement it,
 discussion of PoC code to demonstrate the use of XACML policies to
 drive OAuth interations and a proposal to use XACML policies to express
 OAuth scope.

 ATT has recently contributed their extensive XACML framework to the

 project.

 The ATT framework represents the entire XACML 3.0 object set as a

 collection of Java interfaces and standard implementations of those
 interfaces. The ATT PDP engine is built on top of this framework and
 represents a complete implementation of a XACML 3.0 PDP, including all
 of the multi-decision profiles. In addition, the framework also
 contains an implementation of the OASIS XACML 3.0 RESTful API v1.0 and
 XACML JSON Profile v1.0 WD 14. The PEP API includes annotation
 functionality, allowing application developers to simply annotate a
 Java class to provide attributes for a request. The annotation support
 removes the need for application developers to learn much of the API.

 The ATT framework also includes interfaces and implementations to

 standardize development of PIP engines that are used by the ATT PDP
 implementation, and can be used by other implementations built on top
 of the ATT framework. The framework also includes interfaces and
 implementations for a PAP distributed cloud infrastructure of PDP nodes
 that includes support for policy distribution and pip

Re: [PROPOSAL] OpenAZ as new Incubator project

2014-11-14 Thread Colm O hEigeartaigh
It will be cool to see a XACML project at Apache, especially one that looks
certain to be the main open source implementation. One minor correction:

You have the wrong Apache Colm there :-)

  I think so.
 
  There's a few things that you want to iron out first, before people
  start voting on this.
 
  - 3 is generally the minimum number of mentors.
  - I can't find a Paul Freemantle on the apache committers list.
  There's a Paul Fremantle, minor spelling difference.
  - You may want to review this section to get a better understanding of
  the
  goals: http://incubator.apache.org/guides/proposal.html#formulating
 
  the Discuss option just helps everyone look at your proposal a little
  bit better and determine if there's any gotchas.  For example, I'm
  surprised to see a new incubator project using SVN.
 
  - Can you list out your issue tracking preference (should probably be
  JIRA unless you need something else)

 The standard says that the use of XML (or JSON) is not required
 only the semantics equivalent.

 The first Interface, AzAPI is modeled closely on the XACML
  defined
 interface, expressed in Java. One of the goals was to support
 calls
to
 both a PDP local to the same process and a PDP in a remote
  server.
 AzAPI includes the interface, reference code to handle things
  like
the
 many supported datatypes in XACML and glue code to mate it to the
open
 source Sun XACML implementation.

 Because of the dependence on Sun XACML (which is XACML 2.0) the
 interface was missing some XACML 3.0 features. More recently this
 was corrected and
 WSo2 has mated it to their XACML 3.0 PDP. Some work was done by
 the JPMC team to support calling a remote PDP. WSo2 is also
 pursuing this
capability.

 A second, higher level interface, PEPAPI was also defined. PEPAPI
 is more intended for application developers with little knowledge
 of XACML. It allows Java objects which contain attribute
 information to
be passed in.
 Conversion methods, called mappers extract information from the
 objects and present it in the format expected by XACML. Some
 implementers have chosen to implement PEPAPI directly against
 their
PDP, omitting the use of AzAPI.
 Naomaru Itoi defined a C++ interface which closely matches the
 Java
one.

 Examples of more speculative work include: proposals for
 registration and dispatch of Obligation and Advice handlers, a
 scheme called AMF
to
 tell PIPs how to retrieve attributes and PIP code to implement
  it,
 discussion of PoC code to demonstrate the use of XACML policies

Re: Finding a Champion

2014-03-19 Thread Colm O hEigeartaigh
I'm also willing to help out (as a mentor). Apache CXF has a PEP that uses
a interface to convert a service request to a XACML request, and ships with
an implementation that uses OpenSAML to create the request. I was planning
to dedicate some time to switching to use OpenAZ instead.

   This email was a good start.
  
   Also, finding an existing Apache member who's either active in your

   investigate. I see from your website that WSO2 is somehow involved.
   There's several ASF members there.
  
   Failing that, tell us why your project is awesome and why we'd want to
   be involved.
  
  If you don't find a more suitable champion, I'd be please to offer my
  support.
 
  There is defintively a need for some XACML related project at the ASF.

Re: [VOTE][PROPOSAL] Syncope join the Incubator

2012-02-07 Thread Colm O hEigeartaigh
 committers are geographically distributed across
 the Europe with no one company being associated with a majority of the
 developers. Some of these initial developers are experienced Apache
 committers already and all are experienced with working in distributed
 development communities.


 == Reliance on Salaried Developers ==
 To the best of our knowledge, Tirasa[5] is the only entity sponsoring
 Syncope development.


 == Relationships with Other Apache Products ==
 Syncope fits naturally in the ASF because it naturally completes a
 whole set of ASF projects dedicated to enterprise environments like as
 Geronimo, Directory, CXF, ActiveMQ and so on.

 Moreover, Syncope could complete ASF coverage of middleware
 technologies by adding identity management to current ASF portfolio.


 == A Excessive Fascination with the Apache Brand ==
 While the Apache Software Foundation would be a good home for the
 Syncope project, it already has some traction and it could live on its
 own - however we see reciprocal benefits for both the ASF and the
 project in adopting the brand to attract more people and enlarge users
 and developers communities.

Hi,

 Syncope proposal [1] is still looking for more mentors: who is
 interested in Identity Management and wants to get involved in one of
 first Open Source projects in this field?

I am interested in this project and would like to come on board as a
mentor if possible. I'm an ASF member and work on XML Security (Apache
Santuario), WS-Security (Apache WSS4J) as well as Apache CXF.

Colm.
