Hasini Gunasinghe commented on AIRAVATA-1624:
---------------------------------------------
Hi Suresh,
WSO2 IS does have an extension point to connect to external user stores (even
multiple external user stores). The amount of work need to integrate with a
custom JDBC based database can vary from changing a configuration file to
writing a custom user-store manager class (depending on the schema of the
external user-store) by extending the existing JDBC User Store Manager or by
implementing the User Store Manager interface and dropping the jar file to WSO2
IS.
Please refer this documentation for more details:
https://docs.wso2.com/display/IS500/Writing+a+Custom+User+Store+Manager
Thanks,
Hasini.

> Apache Airavata uses Thrift based API's for external facing API's and for
> system internal CPI's. The API's need to be secured adding authentication and
> authorization capabilities.
> The Authentication need to ensure only approved users/clients can
> communicate. Similarly clients should only interact with valid servers.
> Authorization need to be enforced to ensure only users with specific roles
> can appropriately access specific API's. As an example, administrative roles
> should be able see all the users experiments where as end users can only see
> his/her data and not access other information (unless explicitly shared).
> Earlier GSoC project focused on this topic has relavent discussion.
