Ubuntu Cloud Interview Question:

Do you know what are the steps involved in authenticating and authorizing the user?

Submitted by: Administrator

To authenticate and authorize the user there are two steps involved:
1. User should have access to the cloud controller account and access to its user interface.
2. Administrative rights to the user to create their own policies.
The registered users get a access key that gives the certificate and the query information to the user which can be used to authorize the user's status.
The authentication will vary for each user to access the cloud and its service. To authenticate the user a password will be given to access the web console and retrieve their certificate and query key. Cloud controller verifies the authentication only at the first time but the authorization is verified at each level.
