Story

Collection manager finds identifier for audio/video object for which he/she wants to download master or mezzanine file (managed in Fedora via projection onto HPSS) and makes request for file through locally-developed web application, having authenticated via CAS. Application and/or Fedora are able to authorize download of file based on user's identity, user/group permissions on object, and role/group membership information obtained via LDAP from Active Directory. File (may be as large as 200GB) is downloaded from HPSS to user-designated location.

Example of authorization: Master files from Lilly Library collections may be downloaded by users who have the role of Lilly Library staff. This role is determined based on the user's membership in a LillyStaff group in Active Directory.

  1. As of 4.0-Alpha-4 the large files aspect of this use case is ready for testing and has been submitted to the author for review. The authorization aspect still needs some implementation analysis.
