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 tokens.
