OSiRIS User Onboarding for Ceph

Our OSiRIS (Open Storage Research InfraStructure) demo will focus on the flexibility of our resource provisioning process. We’ll show how a prospective OSiRIS user can authenticate to our system with their InCommon member institute credentials and receive a provision of storage space using the protocol(s) of their choice - POSIX mount or S3. The demonstration will also show how users can self-organize access groups for other users within their organization and quickly authorize their client software to connect to their storage allocation. The key points of this demo are that users will be able to use credentials administered not by us but by their home institutions and they’ll easily be able to invite others to collaborate in their OSiRIS VO with access rights of their choosing.
