1        Introduction

1.1 Statement of purpose

Cloud Computing is turning into an important IT service delivery paradigm. Many enterprises are experimenting with cloud computing, using clouds in their own data centers or hosted by third parties, and increasingly they deploy business applications on such private and public clouds. Cloud Computing raises many challenges that have serious security implications. Identity Management in the cloud is such a challenge.

Many enterprises avail themselves of a combination of private and public Cloud Computing infrastructures to handle their workloads. In a phenomenon known as "Cloud Bursting", the peak loads are offloaded to public Cloud Computing infrastructures that offer billing based on usage. This is a use case of a Hybrid Cloud infrastructure. Additionally, governments around the world are evaluating the use of Cloud Computing for government applications. For instance, the US Government has started apps.gov to foster the adoption of Cloud Computing. Other governments have started or announced similar efforts.

The purpose of the OASIS Identity in the Cloud TC is to:

1.2 GAP analysis

The GAP analysis comprised of a detailed analysis of each Use Case from the Identity in the Cloud Use Cases  document [IDCloud-Usecases]. Through this analysis the TC validated if all needs are addressed with current available standards, in such a fashion that the stated goal and outcomes are achieved.

1.2.1 GAP analysis process

In order to analyze each Use Case to determine how it might be implemented, what is required or find what current standards fall short or we perceive as missing, the TC followed the following step-by-step GAP analysis process:

The outcomes of each of those steps are documented in this GAP analysis document.

1.2.2 GAP analysis structure outline

All outcomes of the gap analysis are documented using the following sections:

1.3 List of relevant standards

As a result of the GAP analysis, a list of relevant applicable standards has been composed from all individual Use Cases. Chapter 2 outlines the full categorized list of current standards, versions, statuses and their maintaining organizations.

3.1.5 Analysis notes

·         The diagram is a pictorial representation of the use case

 

·         The Cloud Provider’s Identity Mgmt. System is able to handle identity management for multiple tenants on various infrastructure levels.

·         Multiple administrator roles exist: for servers, host OS, virtual machines, guest OS and applications.

·         Each administrative role has its own scope: what it can do, or should not be able to do. E.g. a Virtual Machine administrator can provision and decommission / destroy Virtual Machines, but cannot access the actual runtime.

·         A user becomes an administrative user (in any role) by group membership(s) or special attribute(s) being set. Typically attributes map to LDAP / X.500 group memberships.

·         Authentication for administrative users requires being strong and / or multi-factor.

·         The identity store plays an important role in this use case. Administrative users may be required to exist in different stores, e.g. at the server level in password files or in network based directory services such as yellow pages.

·         In an ideal world one could create this by using one single directory service.

·         There is a requirement for the uniqueness of identities and devices. Virtual machines, appliances, switches, etc. should be uniquely identified.

3.11 Use Case 11: Enterprise to Cloud SSO

 

3.11.1 Short description

A user is able to access resource within their enterprise environment or within a cloud deployment using a single identity.

With enterprises expanding their application deployments using private and public clouds, the identity management and authentication of users to the services need to be decoupled from the cloud service in a similar fashion to the decoupling of identity from application in the enterprise. Users expect and need to have their enterprise identity extend to the cloud and used to obtain different services from different providers rather than multitude of userid and passwords.

By accessing services via a federated enterprise identity, not only the user experience of SSO is to gain, but also Enterprise compliance and for control of user access, ensuring only valid identities may access cloud services.
