butler
- configurable. Can access local or remote resources (or both) resouces
- should be able to access data via RESTful or any other channels that might be available
- must pay attention to authorization/authentication
automatic fallback if some data not available?
- two cases: data never brought up to a given DAC - this is project policy decision. At the moment unclear if we should automatically fallback.
- data corrupt at a given site, need to be brought from other site
running dax services continuously
- SUI team would find it useful
- lsst-dev used now to run dax_webserv. The machine is periodically rebooted, services have to be restarted manually
- don't have control over the stack that is installed on lsst-dev (Bremerton setup required that particular version of stack to work)
authentication / authorization
- same user can belong to different institutions/groups, we will need to check all access rights when determining if user can access data
multiple implementation of authentications: delegate/pass through or direct authentication
once you establish identity, move it around, don't re-authenticate
sui will be spinning python processes on user behalf, we will need to forward authentication token down to these processes
- 3 tier organization: users/groups/tenants
