Tasmanian Partnership for Advanced Computing (TPAC)

TPAC Portal AAF Implementation

Project Status: In Progress

The Tasmanian Partnership for Advanced Computing (TPAC) hosts a digital web portal that provides the marine and climate scientific communities with ready access to a large number of heterogeneous and geographically distributed ocean and climate datasets. The portal is being redeveloped to cater for larger amounts of data, and to provide an increasingly powerful search capability to the scientific community. The goal of the mini-grant project is to prototype and enable Australian Access Federation Shibboleth authentication services within the TPAC Digital Library Portal. The project team aims to implement a single sign-on solution that will allow data owners to securely manage their own datasets within the TPAC portal’s administration console. Once logged in, data owners will be able to configure metadata, request notification on usage, and restrict access to datasets. The work will form a subproject within a larger project to enhance the capabilities of the TPAC portal.
