The gCube Authorization framework is a token based authorization system in a gCube-based infrastructure.
Token based authorization
The token is a meaningless string generated on request by the Authorization service for every entity belonging to the gCube-infrastructure (users or services). The token is passed in every call and is automatically propagated in the lower layers.
Configuration Overview
The service runs on a smartgears node.
It relies on a postgresSQL instance to store the created tockens.
