Metadirectory Technical Status Meeting

02/15/2005

  • Project Status
    • Gave talk entitled “FSUID/Active Directory Integration” to Dave Hearn’s WinSysAdm group (http://fsuid.fsu.edu/admin/release/fsuid-press-releases.html).
    • Received information on upcoming CARS PL/SQL call (see http://fsuid.fsu.edu/admin/project-history/02-01-2005.2.html)
    • Now populating existing eDir attribute “businessCategory” to store employee class from PeopleSoft (http://fsuid.fsu.edu/admin/project-history/02-02-2005.html).
    • Upgraded eDir software on all five production eDir and the one dev eDir to latest security & stability patches – waiting for next “ndsd” core dump!
    • ERP enabled then disabled BusObj LDAP authentication to eDir (outstanding issue regarding SSL blades on ERP’s routers to still be worked and CA’d cert installed on prodboserv.fsu.edu).
    • Added & populating fsuEduStudentStatus (http://fsuid.fsu.edu/admin/project-history/02-09-2005.html); intent is to use in LDAP filters as “employeeStatus” is used.
    • Numerous fixes made to the FSUID helpdesk and personal pages (http://fsuid.fsu.edu/admin/project-history/02-10-2005.2.html).
    • Added & populating new attributes to “untangle” the naming problem (case & suffix issues – see http://fsuid.fsu.edu/admin/project-history/02-14-2005.html).  Will use these to provide cleaner names to CHS via the daily update script.
    • Met with UCS TEC staff (http://tecs.fsu.edu/) and discussed starting a project to help manage their Win AD Domain Controller and classroom logins via FSUIDs.
    • Have made some progress experimenting with getting FSUID information into a native Blackboard module; “Bb as Portal” meeting this Friday at 1 PM in UCC6109.
    • A second meeting was held to plan what can be done with eDir and the BlueSocket boxes.
    • Set up new “directory.fsu.edu” box (to become the new “ldap.fsu.edu” and public search box); experimenting with comparing eDir“filtered replicas” versus an iPlanet instance fed with LDIFs.
  • Action Items
    1. Get LDAP authentication working under AIX 5.2 (either natively using secldapclntd or using open source packages) – Sean Patronis has this as an action item now.
    2. Continuing to provide CARS user functions in FSUID –Waiting on a “CARS API” via an SSH tunnel and Oracle PL/SQL calls for CARS account management.
    3.  [Group – longer term] Continue working SSN à FSUSN replacement discussions with campus.  Pushing in IS out to customers to start using FSUSN which is now populated in USER_ACCOUNT.  Secure Login beginning to use FSUSN in place of SSN.  FSUID now offers FSUCard/FSUSN as a possible authentication method.
