Citihub have integrated the OpenMAMA API source code with the Citihub Permission Server API, and would like to submit the OpenMAMA code changes for review and integration into the main OpenMAMA release.

The Citihub Permission Server API (libPermSvr) and associated server process (PermSvr) is a proxy for enterprise permission systems and allows clients to be permissioned for market data and other data sources using proprietary or  3^rd party permission systems like Thomson Reuters DACS. So, with libPermSvr integrated into OpenMAMA, applications can be entitled for market data using existing market data permission systems, making the adoption of OpenMAMA easier and more attractive for large enterprises with existing market data systems.

The libPermSvr API integration provides the same features as the current OpenMAMA entitlement capability, but adds support for multiple proprietary and 3^rd party permission systems. We have also added support for permissioning of basic subscriptions (Topic only) and publication, and we have update the build process and GNU automake scripts, so the build process includes an option to enable the libPermSvr code, e.g. ./configure –with-chub-permsvr=<path to libpermsvr libs and header>.

The Citihub Permission Server API is used by a number of large investment banks for market data entitlement control and usage reporting. The API has been integrated with various proprietary market data API’s and deployed in low latency market data environments, and we have had strong interest from clients for the integration of the Citihub Permission Server API into OpenMAMA to make the adoption of OpenMAMA more attractive to the development community.

The Permission Server software is licensed and maintained by Citihub and is distributed, with support, as binaries for Linux, Solaris and Windows with API support for C/C++, C# and Java. We also share the source code with clients with unrestricted rights to change and reuse source code.

If there is interest in the OpenMAMA community for this feature, we will submit source code patches for review and inclusion in a future release.
