Environment Setup

Keeper

The Keeper service groups a set of software components that take care of the creation and maintenance of dynamic DLs by instantiating the appropriate resources and authorizing users to get access to those resources. In order to perform these activities, the Keeper service focuses on the entire lifecycle of software packages management ranging from the specifications and conventions they must follow to their physical deployment and relocation. The Keeper service is a logical service composed by:

Package Repository Service (WSRFService) – The Package Repository validates, stores, and manages DILIGENT packages. It checks packages dependencies and giving both access to packages relations and access to the stored packages supports the dynamic packages deployment. This repository accepts registration requests coming from the Service Archive Registration Portlet that is part of the VDL service, whilst accepts access requests from the DL service and the HNM service.
DL Management Service (WSRFService) – This component coordinates the packages deployment process when a new DL is instantiated and during its lifetime. The operational context that transforms a set of distributed deployed DILIGENT resources into a single application is managed by this component by constructing a DL Map, i.e. a map containing the DL resources locations, their configuration, and the rules to access them.
Hosting Node Manager Service (WSRFService) – The Hosting Node Manager (HNM) manages the Diligent Hosting Node (DHN) by providing the context to deploy the DILIGENT packages accordingly to the DL Management instructions. In particular, when the HNM is deployed, it controls the software dependencies by using the Package Repository, and then it automatically downloads and deploys all the DHN mandatory packages. It also deploys by default the shared Node Access Library (NAL) that exposes a uniform API allowing to query the current node configuration on the node. Moreover, it creates and publishes into the DIS the profiles of all Running Instances deployed in the Java WS Core. Clearly, the HNM must be pre-deployed on each DHN of the DILIGENTinfrastructure.
Node Access Library (Library) – The Node Access Library (NAL) provides functionalities to access the local DHN configuration and allows RI to persist its own data.
Profile Manager Library (Library) – The Profile Manager library is an utility package that lets DILIGENT services manage easily DILIGENT XML Resource profiles.
Keeper Common Library (Library) – This library is composed by a set of WSDL definitions, that all the Keeper Services include in their WSDL. At compilation time (using the WSDL2Java tool), these definitions are evaluated and generate a set of Java classes that can be referred inside service code.

Pre-installation setup

All the Keeper Libraries and stubs are deployed together with the DHN installation, that contains also the Hosting Node Manager (HNM) Service. The Package Repository DHN requires a node with Apache Server installed and therefore the port Apache listens for connections has not to be behind a firewall.

Main installation procedure

VREManager

The VREManager Service is a VO specific service that has to be deployed manually for each VO and dynamically for each VRE .

The VREManager can be downloaded from the Eng repository . These are the installation steps to follow:

Unpack the ServiceArchive tar.gz file;
type globus-deploy-gar org_diligentproject_keeperservice_dlmanagement.gar to deploy the DLManagement Service on the local container;
copy ServiceProfile_Keeper_DLManagement.xml under the $GLOBUS_LOCATION/etc/org_diligentproject_keeperservice_hnm/ServicesProfiles/ folder in order to publish the DL Management Service on the Running Instance of the DHN and in order to enable the service to accept requests from its clients.

Security Settings

The DLManagement Service, in case of Secure infrastructure, work using Service Credentials for they operations. The Manually deployment of the services implies also the manual setting of Credential Renewal Task that will let the services work with fresh credentials. This can be done using the Credential Renewal Service, interacting with it using the CredentialRenewal API and Stubs, contained inside the Credentials Renewal ServiceArchive 0_3_0 that can be downloaded from the Eng repository.

First you have to create a MyProxy CA Online account that idnentifies the DLManagement Service.

java org.diligentproject.dvos.credentialRenewal.ui.CredentialRenewalUI -createCAAccount -host <CredentialHost> 
-port <CredentialPort> -proxy <proxyFile> -username <username>

The output of this operation will be an ID that identifies the Account created and that can be used to add Context then create Credential renewal Task. In order to create a context related to DLManagement Service using the CredentialRenewal API just type:

java org.diligentproject.dvos.credentialRenewal.ui.CredentialRenewalUI -addContext -host <CredentialHost> 
-port <CredentialPort> -proxy <proxyFile> -accountID <ID_Previously_Created> voName <VO> -groupName <VOMS group> 
-serviceClass Keeper -serviceName DLManagement

Setting the DLManagement Credential Renewal Task:

java org.diligentproject.dvos.credentialRenewal.ui.CredentialRenewalUI -addTask -accountID <ID_Previously_Created> 
-host <CredentialHost> -port CredentialPort -voName <VO> -groupName <VOMS group> -serviceClass Keeper 
-serviceName DLManagement -proxy <proxyFile>
 -delegationID diligentproject/keeperservice/dlmanagement/DLManagementFactoryService     
  -period 24 -roles Credentials-Manager

Make sure to add the Credentials-Manager Role to the DLManagement Task!Otherwise the service will be not able to create Credential Rewal Tasks during its lifetime.

Post-installation configuration

The DLManagement Service installation depends on the type of VO that the DLManagement has to manage:

"Root" VO;
Sub-VO;

In case of root VO the DLManagement Service needs static information about the root VO name and VOMap file. These parameters have to be configured through the Service JNDI file:

voName : the root VO Name
voMapPath : the VOMap path relative to the DLManagement container folder.

The JNDI file contains further parameter to be configured (both for VO - subVO deployment):

useBMM : if true the DLManagement will use the BMM Service to retrieve the best deployment Schema during automatic deployment
startSweeper : if true starts the DHNSweeper, that removes from the DIS RI and related DHN Profiles not more reachable.
sweeperDelay : the sweeper delay in ms.

DLManagement UI

In order to access to DLManagement Service functionality ( without using Administration portal), a UI has been implemented. The DLManagement UI allows to perform teh following administration operation:

create a VO ( create a DLManagement VOScope Resource to manage a new VO);
Deploy a Service inside a DL/VO;
Undeploy a Service from a DL/VO;
Apply a patch to an already deployed package;
Update an already deployed package;
Get the logs related to a deploy/undeploy/patch operation;
Get an XML report containing all the operation applied to a DHN;
Print the deployment status of a service ( and the related packages);

The DLManagement UI operations need some optional/mandatory parameters: in the syntax shown above the parameter beetween brackets are optional. The proxyFile parameter is mandatory for all the operation and has to be created in this way:

If the operation has to be performed in the context of the /diligent/ImpECt VO the proxy has to contain the 
role Credential Manager for the VOMS group /diligent/ImpECt:

voms-proxy-init -voms diligent:/diligent/ImpECt/Role=Credentials-Manager

The DLMamanegement UI syntax is the following:

Installation troubleshooting

No known problem to be reported.

HNM Service

The HNM service installation is always performed manually (it comes together with the DHN installation), since it is the service devoted to the management of the local node. Its configuration is the configuration of the DHN it manages.

JNDI file

The HNMService performs JNDI lookups for some static configuration parameters. Its JNDI file is located in $GLOBUS_LOCATION/etc/org_diligentproject_keeperservice_hnm/jndi-config.xml

The global resource HNMServiceConfiguration groups the configuration parameters. The following ones have to be changed accordingly to the suggestions reported:

infrastructure This parameter specify the type of infrastructure to join:
- PPS: the PPS infrastructure (in case the DHN has to join Arte or ImpECt VOs)
- development: the development infrastructure (in case the DHN has to join the devsec VO)

The default value is PPS.

defaultVO
- This parameter has to be filled with the name of the VO in which the DHN will act. This is the Default VO where the DHN and all the hosted RIs will be published as default behavior. The DHN is pre-configured to work in three different VOs (ARTE, ImpECt and Development) or in the root VO (named diligent). One of the followings has to be specified as default VO value:
  - /diligent → to join only the global DILIGENT VO
  - /diligent/ARTE → to join the ARTE VO (working in the pre-production infrastructure)
  - /diligent/ImpECt → to join the ImpECt VO (working in the pre-production infrastructure)
  - /diligent/devsec → to join the Secure Development VO (working in the development infrastructure)

The default value is /diligent.

DHNProfileUpdateIntervalInMillis
- the DHN profile is updated accordingly to this interval. The interval is specified as milliseconds.
latitude + longitude
- these two coordinates are used to correctly place the DHN on the Google Map visualized by the Monitoring Portlet. To discover which are the coordinates for the DILIGENT partner DHNs see here
country: two letter code of the country (e.g. IT)
location: a free text placeholder (e.g. Pisa)
localFileSystem
- the partition on your file system that you want to share with the hosted services
DHNType
- allowed values here are: Dynamic, Static and SelfCleaning. A static DHN is not used as target for the dynamic deployment, while a SelfCleaning is automatically cleaned every night (used just for demos). The default value is Dynamic.
securityEnabled
- if true, the DHN supports a secure context both at VO and DL level. In this case, it is necessary to

configure the DHN following the instructions reported here
overwrite the $GLOBUS_LOCATION/etc/org_diligentproject_keeperservice_hnm/deploy-server.wsdd with the $GLOBUS_LOCATION/etc/org_diligentproject_keeperservice_hnm/deploy-server.wsdd_SEC

rootDHN
- state if the DHN is a root DHN or not (the root DHNs are special nodes dedicated to the VO management)

There are other parameters in the resource and they have to be left with their default values.

DHN static description file

The DHN profile can be enriched with some static labels that describes the DHN characteristics. These labels are matched at deployment time with the ones reported . Such labels can be added to the $GLOBUS_LOCATION/etc/org_diligentproject_keeperservice_hnm/customDHNlabels.xml file.

VOMap files

A VO Map is a file placed in the $GLOBUS_LOCATION/etc/org_diligentproject_keeperservice_hnm/VOMaps folder reporting all the basic EPRs needed to properly startup a DHN. Such EPRs are the starting point to discover all the others gCube resource available in the VO.
An example of VO Map file can be found here
The file name has to follow a naming convention:

VOMap_<VO-name>.xml if the VO is not the root one in the current infrastructure
VOMap_<VO-name>_<infrastructure-name>.xml if the VO is the root one

Installation troubleshooting

In case something goes wrong in the restart of the Java WS Core container after an upgrade of the HNM Service, it is possible to source the $GLOBUS_LOCATION/etc/org_diligentproject_keeperservice_hnm/utils/cleanDHNstate.sh script. This script cleans up the DHN state and forces the HNM Service to rebuild the DHN state from scratch. The script has to be executed when the container is not running.

Software Repository

The Software Repository should not be directly used by other services besides Service Archive registration Portlet for storing issues, DLManagement Service to query for dependencies and HNM to get stored packages. The VDL, DL Mng., and HNM act as PR clients, so PR stubs should be on that clients installations.

Access to this component has to be done, as for any other WSRF service, by creating the appropriate portType connected to the EPR of an active instance of the service using the stubs classes distributed with the component.

Package Repository service is distributed with a PR client that can be used to check all PR functionalities as well as a system to initialize a DILIGENT infrastructure from scratch.

Pre-installation setup

The PR Service is an Infrastructure specific service (there is the need of an instance of it for each Infrastructure).

The service installation requires:

a DHN installed and configured
a set of environment variables to be defined.

Depending on the configuration, it may require:

a node from where it is possible to access to the Grid storage;

Setting up the Access to the Grid Storage

The Package Repository can be configure to synchronize its local storage on a gLire SE. In this case, the access to a gLIte SE (e.g. DPM) and a gLite LFC are mandatory to run the Package Repository.

From the machine where PR will be deployed execute as root following operations:

Audit Logs

Package Repository uses log4j library to log all its outputs messages. Update appropriately the $GLOBUS_LOCATION/log4j.properties file to change log messages level.

In case of system malfunction, security incidents etc. look for ERROR messages on container outputs. All messages indicates where the error occur, a short error message, as well as the java exception chain (if applicable).

Broker & Matchmaker (BMM)

The BMM Service is composed by the following components:

The BMM Connector (Java Library) and the BMM API (Java Library) allow clients (e.g. the DL Management service) to send a matching request, and notify them with the response.
The DIS Connector (Java Library) is in charge of keeping up-to-date tracks of the DHN profiles received from the DIS and to query the DIS in order to gather information the service or the algorithm needs for their computations.
The BMM Service (WSRF Service) provides the core functionalities of the BMM component. By invoking the DIS Connector it queries the DIS in order to gather information about packages, then it forwards the BMM Connector request to the BMM Algorithm and, when the response is ready, it returns back the result.
The BMM Utils (Java Library) is a library shared by other components. It defines exceptions and provides the validator used to parse the request and the response, as well as other helper classes.
The BMM Algorithm (Java Library) calculates, by running a customized version of first-fit algorithm, the associations among packages and DHNs.

Pre-installation setup

The BMM Service is VO specific service (there is the need of an instance of it for each VO) and so the service installation requires a node (DHN) for each VO. The BMM API and the BMM Connector libraries should be deployed on the client side. The other components on the server side.

Main installation procedure

The BMM ServiceArchive 0_3_0 can be downloaded from the Eng repository . These are the installation steps to follow:

Unpack the ServiceArchive tar.gz file;
type globus-deploy-gar bmm.matchMaker-service.gar to deploy the BMM Service on the local container;
copy ServiceProfile_broker_BMM.xml under the $GLOBUS_LOCATION/etc/org_diligentproject_keeperservice_hnm/ServicesProfiles/ folder in order to publish the BMM Service on the Running Instance of the DHN and in order to enable the service to accept requests from its clients.

Post-installation configuration

None.

Testing and verifying the installation

Provide instructions that will assist the administrator in verifying that the service has been installed and is running appropriately. Troubleshooting of the installation together with error messages and common compensation actions should be provided in detail in chapter 4.

DILIGENT Information Service (DIS)

The following components compose the DILIGENT Information Service:

DIS-IP (Library) – The DIS-IP is responsible for registering/unregistering a group of resource properties as Aggregator Source to one or more DIS-ICs. It also allows to register/unregister groups of Topics in the DIS-Broker.
DIS-HLSClient (Library) – The DIS-HLSClient is a library used by DILIGENT services to access the information maintained by the DILIGENT Information Service. Using a DIS-HLSClient it is possible to query a DIS-IC to discover Profiles or WS-Resource properties.
DIS-IC (WSRFService) – This service is the Information Collector (IC) of all the data published in the DIS. It is implemented as Aggregator Sink that collects RPs from the registered (via DIS-IP) Aggregator Sources.
DIS-BDIIClient (WSRFService) – This service is in charge of harvesting resource information from the BDII Server1 it has been configured to interact with. The gathered information is manipulated in order to make it compliant with the schema adopted in DILIGENT. Then such information is published as WS-Resources via the DIS-IP and as a DILIGENT Resource of type gLiteResource using the mechanism offered by the DIS-Registry Service.
DIS-Registry (WSRFService) – This service provides registration and un-registration facilities for the DILIGENT resources profiles.
DILIGENTProvider (Library) – This operation provider adds resource properties to the group of properties registered by a service in the DIS-IC. This additional information allows enlarging the spectrum of functionalities offered to identify the source that publishes the data and to perform fine-grained queries.
DIS-Broker (WSRFService) – This service provides registration/unregistration of Topics (events to be notified on) for DILIGENT Services. This allows clients to subscribe to/unsubscribe from topics without having to know the physical locations of the services that expose them.

Pre-installation setup

The DIS core Services (DIS-Registry, DIS-Broker and DIS-IC), are VO specific services ( there is the need of an instance of those services for each VO). Starting from the root VO ( the "diligent" root VO), but at the time being also all the sub-VO (i.e. ARTE) need a manual installation. The root DIS is the first DILIGENT services that has to be installed in the infrastructure: it will contain all DHN Profiles and RI Profiles of Services running on the root VO and DHN profiles of Sub-VO node ( that can be assigned to sub-VOs by VO Managers).

The Installation of the root DIS requires at least 3 nodes:

the DIS-Registry DHN

the DIS-Broker DHN

the DIS-IC DHN

The DIS-BDIIClient is a VO specific Services and is no needed at root VO level. In order to speed up the performance and exploits the distributed nature of the GT4 Aggregator Framework, the best DIS Services deployment strategy would be:

Deploy the DIS-Broker and the DIS-Registry on the same DHN

Deploy the DIS-IC on a separate DHN.

The following installation documentation assumes that this is the target deployment schema.

Main installation procedure

The DIS Installation needs a manual change on the DHN behaviour. The HNM in general is configured to publish the RI profiles of the codeployed services and the related DHN profile on the root VO. In case the HNM is codeployed toghether with DIS Services (so it has to register Profiles using the codeployed instance of the DIS-Registry) the DHN has to be configured to act as a "root" DHN. The related HNMService inthis context will create all the DIS Running Instance Profiles (togheter with the DHN profile), but it will be DIS-Registry itself that will register these profiles.

DHN root Installation

The "root" DHN has to be installed following the Admin guide. Once the installation has been done, the only change to standard DHN installation is on the HNM Service JNDI file:

The "rootDHN" parameter has to be set to true ( the DIS DHN is also of type Static)

DIS-IC Installation

The DISIC ServiceArchive 0_3_0 can be downloaded from the Eng repository Eng repository . These are the installation steps to follow:

Unpack the ServiceArchive tar.gz file;
type globus-deploy-gar org_diligentproject_informationservice_disic.gar located inside the DIS-IC folder to deploy the DIS-IC Service on the local container;
download the exist 1.1 installation binary (wget --no-check-certificate http://grids17.eng.it/engrepository/exist/1.1.1/noarch/eXist-1.1.1-newcore-build4311.tar.gz)
source the install1.1.sh script located in the eXist/scripts folder

DONE!

DIS-Broker Installation

The DISBroker ServiceArchive 0_3_0 can be downloaded from the Eng repository . These are the installation steps to follow:

Unpack the ServiceArchive tar.gz file;
type globus-deploy-gar org_diligentproject_informationservice_disbroker.gar to deploy the DIS-Broker Service on the local container;

DONE!

DIS-Registry Installation

The DISRegistry ServiceArchive 0_3_0 can be downloaded from the Eng repository . These are the installation steps to follow:

Unpack the ServiceArchive tar.gz file;
type globus-deploy-gar org_diligentproject_informationservice_disregistry.gar to deploy the DIS-Registry Service on the local container;

DONE!

Security Setting

All DIS services can be configured to run in a secure/unsecure context. In case the VO to deploy has to run in a secure way the stardard installation will provide server-config.wsdd files that already contain security-descriptor for DIS services. In case the VO has to be deployed without security just:

enter the specific container folder of DIS services (i.e for DIS-Registry : $GLOBUS_LOCATION/etc/org_diligentproject_informationservice_disregistry )
copy the content of deploy-server.wsdd_NOSEC file inside server-config.wsdd file
this will remove the link to the service security-descriptor and has to be done for all DIS services.

The DIS-Registy Service, in case of Secure infrastructure, works using Service Credentials for its operations. The Manually deployment of the service implies also the manual setting of Credential Renewal Task that will let the service works with fresh credentials. This can be done using the Credential Renewal Service, interacting with it using the CredentialRenewal API and Stubs, contained inside the Credentials Renewal ServiceArchive 0_3_0 that can be downloaded from the Eng repository .

First you have to create a MyProxy CAOnline Account (if not present) that will identify the DIS-Registry-Service:

 
java org.diligentproject.dvos.credentialRenewal.ui.CredentialRenewalUI -createCAAccount -host <CredentialHost> 
-port <CredentialPort> -proxy <proxyFile> 
-username <username>

The output of this operation will be an ID that identifies the Account created and that can be used to add Context to the Account and then Credential renewal Task. In order to create a context related to DIS-Registry Service using the CredentialRenewal API:

 java org.diligentproject.dvos.credentialRenewal.ui.CredentialRenewalUI -addContext -host <CredentialHost>
 -port <CredentialPort> -proxy <proxyFile>
-accountID <ID_Previously_Created> voName <VO> -groupName <VOMS group> -serviceClass InformationSystem -serviceName DIS-Registry

Setting DIS-Registry Credential Renewal Task:

java org.diligentproject.dvos.credentialRenewal.ui.CredentialRenewalUI -addTask -accountID <ID_Previously_Created> \
 -host <CredentialHost> -port <CredentialPort> -voName <VO> -groupName <VOMS group> -serviceClass InformationSystem 
-serviceName DIS-Registry -proxy <proxyFile> -delegationID <WSRFEntryPoint> 
-delegationServiceURL http://<host>:<port>/wsrf/services/diligentproject/dvos/delegation/DelegationService \
-period 24 -roles Basic

Post-installation configuration

After the deployment the VOMap for the VO the DIS installed refers to has to be properly configured. So in case of /diligent root VO just change the file VOMap_diligent.xml located into the $GLOBUS_LOCATION/etc/org_diligentproject_keeperservice_hnm/VOMaps modifyng service endpoint according to your DIS installation. In case of sub-VO DIS installation just creates a VOMap_<yourSubVo>.xml file containing as above the endpoint to your DIS installation.

Testing and verifying the installation

Provide instructions that will assist the administrator in verifying that the service has been installed and is running appropriately. Troubleshooting of the installation together with error messages and common compensation actions should be provided in detail in chapter 4.

Dynamic Virtual Organization Support (DVOS)

The components of the Dynamic Virtual Organization Support are:

DVOS Common library - A package containing common classes used in DVOS components (part of the Diligent Hosting Node, see here for installation instructions)
Authentication-API library - A library that provides DILIGENT services with some utility method useful to manage authentication tokens (part of the Diligent Hosting Node, see here for installation instructions)
Delegation Service - A service allowing clients to delegate proxy credentials to DILIGENT services running on a DHN (part of the Diligent Hosting Node, see here for installation instructions)
Credentials Renewal Service - This service is in charge of periodically refresh credentials of other DILIGENT services
Authorization service - A service allowing management of DILIGENT authorization elements, for a detailed description of DILIGENT authorization model see here
VOMS-API library - A library that provides some utility method useful to manage VOMS service (part of the Diligent infrastrucutre)

Pre-installation setup

The DILIGENT security model is based on some existing security components. Following services must be installed (or already present in the infrastructure) to enable security funcionalities.

MyProxy repository - This repository is required to host temporary credentials of users liable for DILIGENT RIs. These credentials are then delegated to services. To install and configure a MyProxy repository service you can follow these steps.
MyProxy OnlineCA - This service is required to create temporary credentials for users and services authenticated with the DILIGENT Simple Certification Authority. To install and configure a MyProxy online CA service you can follow these steps.
VOMS - This service is part of the gLite grid middleware and can be installed following steps of this document.
VOMSServlet - the servlet required by DILIGENT services to interoperate with the VOMS administration web interface. For detailed information about how to install such a component you can refer here.

 A valid proxy certificate of the VOMS VO Administrator 
(containing the VO-Admin role at the root level) is required to install this service

Main installation procedure

Credentials Renewal Installation

An installer is avalible to automatically configure the infrastructure, deploy the Credentials Renewal service and configure it.

The Credentials Renewal ServiceArchive 0_3_0 can be downloaded from the Eng repository . These are the installation steps to follow:

install the voms-proxy-init command from the rpm in http://dlib.sns.it/bscw/bscw.cgi/0/33487 (This is a temporary step to solve an installer bug)
perform an "apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade" of the system to update the command to the current version. (This is a temporary step to solve an installer bug)
copy in the $GLOBUS_LOCATION/lib dir the comons-codec.jar and commons-httpclient.jar libraries from engrepository (use the last versions present in the engrepository). (This is a temporary step to solve an installer bug)
Unpack the ServiceArchive tar.gz file;
Enter in the install directory with the command cd install
Set following parameters accordingly to your infrastructure in the install.properties file:

Parameter Name	Description	Example
voAdminProxy	The location of the proxy certificate of a VOMS VO Administrator (containing the VO-Admin role at the root level)	/root/AdminProxy
myProxyRepositoryHost	The host name where the myProxy Repository is running	grids02.eng.it
myProxyOnlineCAHost	The host name where the myProxy Online CA is running	grids04.eng.it
voName	The name of the VOMS VO used by this service ( as contained in the local vomses file )	diligent
groupName	The group where this Credentials Renewal service will operate	/diligent
servletHost	The host name where the VOMS Servlet is running	grids15.eng.it
servletPort	The port number of the container hosting the VOMS Servlet	8094
servletCertFile	The servlet certificate file	/home/dhnUser/certs/servletCertFile.pem
hostCertFile	The DHN certificate file (as contained in the container security descriptor file)	/etc/grid-security/containercert.pem
hostKeyFile	The DHN key file (as contained in the container security descriptor file)	/etc/grid-security/containerkey.pem

Launch the installation script using the command ant -file install.xml. This procedure will automatically:
- Configure the VOMS selected to enable operations of the CredentialsRenewal service
- Deploy the service in the local DHN
- Configure the jndi-config file of the CredentialsRenewal service with parameters set in the previous installation step

 Please be sure to start the container from the $GLOBUS_LOCATION dir.
