| | Overall Architecture of [ShARPE]: |

| | | * mams-crosswalk extends shibboleth to provide ability of defining sophisticated custom attributes in Shibboleth Attribute Resolver. An example of using mams-crosswalk is to generate eduPersonTargetID based |
| | on hash function. [ShARPE] uses mams-crosswalk to provide attribute mapping functionalities |
| | | * mams-crosswalk extends shibboleth allowing administrator to definesophisticated custom attributes in Shibboleth Attribute Resolver. An example is to generate eduPersonTargetID based |
| | on hash function of mams-crosswalk library. [ShARPE] uses mams-crosswalk to provide attribute mapping functionalities |
| | |

| | * mams-group extends shibboleth to provide group lookup functionality. Original Shibboleth only defines Attributes Release Policy at SITE and USER levels. This is not particularly true when applies to big |
| | organization like HE entities where different Departments within HE impose different policy on its users. mams-group introduce GROUP level policy so that an Effective ARPs will be formed from SITE \-> GROUP \-> USER structure |
| | |

| | * Sharpe core glues Shibboleth IdP, crosswalk and group all together and provides a Facade for [WebShARPE] to access those functionalities in a uniform, event based approach |
| | |

| | * [WebShARPE] is a typical web application using Struts framework to provide web interface to all [ShARPE] functionalities |
| | |
| | All these components are designed to be Shibboleth extensions so that they works nicely with it and do not intervene original Shibboleth installation. |
