Short note on Federated Identity Management (FIDM) and OpenID.

 FEDERATED IDENTITY MANAGEMENT (FIDM)

The term FIDM refers to the technologies and protocols that allow a user to package security credentials across security domains. It uses Security Markup Language (SAML) to bundle a user's security credentials, as seen in the figure below:



OpenID

OpenID allows users to utilize a single account to log in to several websites. OpenID is supported by corporations such as Google, Yahoo!, Flickr, and WordPress.com, etc.

Benefits of OpenID

  • Increased site conversation rates
  • Access to greater user profile content Fewer problems with lost passwords
  • Ease of content integration into social networking sites

Such IDaaS solutions provide a range of identity and access management services such as:

  • Single Sign-On (SSO) functionality through the cloud
  •  Federated Identity Management for Access 
  • Governance Password Management

Discuss classification or taxonomy of virtualization at different levels.

Suppose that a data warehouse for Big-University consists of the following four dimensions: student, course, semester, and instructor, and two measures count and avg_grade. When at the lowest conceptual level (e.g., for a given student, course, semester, and instructor combination), the avg_grade measure stores the actual course grade of the student. At higher conceptual levels, avg_grade stores the average grade for the given combination. a) Draw a snowflake schema diagram for the data warehouse. b) Starting with the base cuboid [student, course, semester, instructor], what specific OLAP operations (e.g., roll-up from semester to year) should one perform in order to list the average grade of CS courses for each BigUniversity student. c) If each dimension has five levels (including all), such as “student < major < status < university < all”, how many cuboids will this cube contain (including the base and apex cuboids)?
