Portals Common Capabilities

The figure below presents the architecture of the Common Capabilities for Portals.

This architecture can be applied to all the Common Capabilities discussed here, thus we only focus in the User Grid portal interaction of the specific Common Capabilities. Even in the case of Portals Security the external services that interact with the Common Capability (e.g. Myproxy or an Authorization Service) are middleware from the portals perspective.

A general relation with other Common Capabilities identified is that all communications of Portals Common Capabilities with external services (components) should be done using the Check validity of Claims Common Capability (General Security), End-to-end Secure Communication (General Security) and if needed (in case of firewalls) Connection Bridge (General Security).

The following Common Capabilities have been identified for Portals:

Job Submission, Monitoring and Control
