Integration of the ATLAS VOMS system with the ATLAS Metadata Interface

Abstract : This presentation provides an account of the development of a Java based solution to integrate the ATLAS VOMS system to the ATLAS Metadata Interface (AMI). The prerequisites authentication and authorisation demand on grid architecture are explained. The current workings of a VOMS system and the resulting requirements this has on a client of this system are discussed. We explore possible solutions to these requirements before detailing the mechanism behind the chosen solution and how it was integrated with the AMI framework. It is an ATLAS Offline Computing abstract and a GridPP abstract
