securityManager - For the Management of Users and User Rights in Spatial Data Infrastructures
The sdi.suite securityManager is a tool for organising users' rights of access to services and data in service based spatial data infrastructures. Access is restricted to authorised users, which ensures that user agreements are adhered to at all times, while also preventing any illicit use.The Security Interceptor concept enabels that the securityManager is able to secure certain services, without requiring any special adjustments.
The securityManager employs the Web Authentication Service and Web Security Service developed by Software Initiative 52°North; these services are integrated in a uniform security concept.
These open security systems are tried and tested, and can be easily integrated in any infrastructure. The securityManager provides specific security interceptors for each type of service (WMS, CSW, WFS), which filter the enquiries as well as the returned values in accordance with the respective user rights. The services can be invoked from any software environment (sdi.suite mapClient, ArcGIS, ArcMap).
For the description of user rights, the securityManager employs the OASIS standard, XACML. The management of users and user rights by the securityManager can be performed easily using a web browser.
