Description

I will present the design of two experimental authentication plugins:


  • OAUTH2 for https:// and roots:// in XRootD
  • SSH authentication for roots:// in XRootD

and can optionally introduce few other R&D projects/ideas:


  • XrdHttpKrb5 Kerberos Authentication support in XrdHttp
  • llhttp high-performance HTTP header parsing library for XRootD/XrdHttp
  • http2 support in XRootD using nghttp2
  • XrdClJournalCache client plugin caching byte-ranges not blocks as a local journal, pre-configured xjcd forward proxy for http(s): and root(s):
  • embeddable NFS4.1 C++ server (EOS & XRootD) with TLS, KRB5 and still missing NFS over RDMA support
  • kernel-resident network filesystem client over HTTPS and RDMA usable in LAN and WAN for XRootD
