  • Project Status
    • Major work done on providing redundancy and reliability for all five eDir servers (see http://fsuid.fsu.edu/admin/schema/edir-server-schema.html), esp. for ERP VPN and PeopleSoft portal instance.  Upgraded eDir software from 8.7.1.2 to 8.7.3.1 (plus two more patches) on all but “mdsacns”.
    • Added “fsuEduPreferredEmail” and populated it using “common sense” algorithm.
    • Using new daily HRMS feed to get more reliable HRMS data into eDir.
    • Added a slew of new student data from UDB’s DATA_SHARE table (loaded with current semester’s data); data being updated from within UDB’s job scheduler after DB2 à UDB table load.
    • Added “fsuEduCarsHostCodes”, with much help from Ethan & Fran.  This gives us reliable CARS email addresses and other goodies (see http://devfsuid.fsu.edu/admin/fsuid_descript/fsu-edu-cars-host-codes.html).
    • Updated FSUID personal, Helpdesk and Lookup pages to reflect recent attributes.
    • Added “fsuEduWebApps”, installed Apache LDAP auth module and changed a bunch of password-protected FSUID web pages to use this new attribute for authorization (helpdesk, lookup, viewer, erpvpn, etc.)
    • Cleaning up “fire2.fsu.edu” @fsu.edu email aliases in the eDir that aren’t unique.
  • Action Items
    1. Discuss public search issues (students?) & “kysmith2” oddity.
    2. [IS, US] Populate/associate Novell account information into eDir (need Novell proxy admin account?)
    3.  [IS] Set up “Outlook account enabler” web page (done) and have OTI create new FSU AD accounts disabled by default (this will force Outlook ßà FSUID associations)  (have new Helpdesk option for now, but perhaps this should be front-burnered?)
    4. [IS] Bring College of Medicine into the eDir (COM Exchange accounts)
    5. [IS] Write web-based documentation explaining how to use eDir for authentication (pure LDAP, UNIX passwd file, RADIUS, Apache auth_ldap, etc.)
    6. [UCS, IS] Disable the ability for people to change their passwords using the “native” interface for CARS, Secure Login and Active Directory (meeting on Secure Login soon; long term).  Integrate FSUID management closer to CARS (e.g., when person changes CARS password, immediately change it in the eDir!)
    7. [IS, Ethan] Move Oracle tables from ODDL machine (“larissa4”) to an OTI Oracle instance (On hold; data is fine where it is);
    8. [IS] Build FSUID web page for ERP “visitor” accounts.  Use “vis-loginname” convention for FSUIDs (still need to hammer out bigger picture on “visitors” first)
    9. [IS] Re-design CARS pages to match look & feel of FSUID pages.
    10. [IS, ODDL] – Connect C.A.S. to Secure Login, Blackboard & FSUID, all pointing to eDir.
    11.  [IS – longer term] Actually get DirXML connections configured and going for ldap1, ldap2, etc. (still having too much fun with Perl)
    12. [IS, Ethan] Build the FSU AD shim/remote loader/password sync install (when OTI WSG deems it “safe”).  Populate appropriate user fields/re-arrange the OUs within AD using the information in the eDir.
    13. [Chuck, other ERP HR functional people] Work PeopleSoft HR ßà eDir specs (we will probably just work with the PS HR extract file to be generated, in the same spirit as the existing HRMS)
