[eroma2014]

Motivation

To ensure that the chosen authentication and authorization solution is technically sound, practical, and suitable for VEDA’s long-term needs.

Team & Owners

Data Services - Saadiq*, Alexandra, Anthony Lukach, Dimuthu, Lahiru
JupyterHub/Science Support - Yuvi*, Alex*, Dimuthu, Lahiru
VEDA dashboard - Anthony Boyd*, Jonas, Brian, Dimuthu, Lahiru

Success Criteria

Evaluation findings are documented.

Tasks

Beta Give feedback

1. Conduct a thorough evaluation of the practicality and effectiveness of each use case implementation. Add a workflows document #138
2. Compare the capabilities of vanilla Keycloak and Custos-enhanced Keycloak, running experiments to understand differences.
3. Document all findings, including the comparison results and lessons learned, in both persistent documentation and an Architecture Decision Record (ADR) for reference.
