AAF (Application Authorization Framework):

...

AAF (Application Authentication Framework) provides the services for authentication, authorization and certificate management for the ONAP components.  It provides the services to the capability to

• Create control loop from DCAE blueprint sent by SDC
• Create configuration policy from the policy Tosca sent by SDC
•  Configure DCAE applications of the control loop
• Associate µService configuration policies to the DCAE application
• Configure the operations to be taken by the control loop (by creating/updating/deleting operational policies)
• Deploy/un-deploy control loop flow (blueprints) to DCAE
• Control loop visualization. 

CLAMP relies on Policy to communicate to App-C/VF-C/SDN-C/SO in runtime, hence these are not part of CLAMP ONAP components to manage the lifecycle of authentication and authorization elements such as Permissions, Roles and Credentials.  It supports:

• Manage authentication and authorization elements such as: Perminssions, Roles, Credentials
• Access to organizational entities
• Manage the lifecycle of passwords and certificates
• Access to external credential authoriites (e.g. CA)
• Autogenerate ONAP certificates

2. API definitions

Clamp data redundancy is dependent on Kubernetes and the persistent volume.

Clamp application redundancy HA relies on Kubernetes

7. New Capabilities in this Release

This release, AAF adds the following Capabilities:

• AAF Locator differentiates public Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) from Kubernetes FQDN

  • Internal Kubernetes FQDN generated when client declares its Container Namespace
  • Public FQDN are accessible for both:
    
    • GUIs/Management outside Cluster
    • Non-ONAP entities outside the Cluster
    • Other Clusters
• Improved documentation and enhanced configuration
  
  • Example "Helm" init containers to setup Volumes
• Refactored maintenance processes online for Open Source (meaning non company specific), including
  
  • Analysis of expiring Creds and Roles
  • Generation of Approval records
  • Notification of Approvals, Creds and Roles in an external company configurable way.
