This section describes the overall approach towards a generic licence management architecture for the grid.
These patterns and architecture description are availiable:
Generic Licence Management Architecture
Instead of detailed patterns describing every aspect of the licence management architecture we here merely describe the general architecture. The reason is that in this architecture all aspects of licence management related grid middleware are handled in a straightforward manner -- namely by treating licences as a standard grid resource.
Resource Management based Proxy Pattern
Whenever a user needs to access external data and security can only be verified on a network level, this pattern provides a secure solution, which is able to translate from a possible certificate based -- authentication/authorisation level to a network level.
