  • Project Status
    • CARS password rules == FSUID password rules.
    • FSU AD cert created and migrated to med.ad.fsu.edu; Med School people who associate their COM Outlook/Exchange account can now reset their passwords on the FSUID page!
    • Brought up new Secure Login page with native FSUID support.  Working an issue regarding alumni who aren’t eligible for CARS account (FSUcard type 18); will populate their eDir entry with FSUcard type and then give them a visitor-style email address FSUID.
    • Working integration issues with Secure Login (“Manage Login Information” link within SL <=> FSUID web page); will have a redirect URL/FSUID password scheme within a week (eventually this will be done seamless via CAS).
    • Continuing to provide CARS user functions in FSUID – added ability to check and reset forwarding for UCS accounts (see new “FSUID Email Forwarding” page off of the “Email Address List”).
    • Next Big Event for FSUIDs: “go live” of PeopleSoft HR in mid-December.  Will need to make sure an HR extract from PS is available as it is today from HRMS to continue to feed the eDir with employee identities.
    • Lost mdsoti.fsu.edu as a master replicant on 10/10/04; spent the past 1 & ½ week getting it back on-line – udbprod.uc.fsu.edu is now the master.  Also “retired” mdsacns.fsu.edu and replaced it with radius1.acns.fsu.edu.  All firewall holes finally punched (including the ERP ones) so all five eDirs can see each other.
    • Upgraded eDir software from 8.7.3.1 to 8.7.3.2 plus two other patches.
    • Populated fsuEduFsuSN field (the “FSUSN”) for existing FSUIDs; working out last glitches on the INSERT trigger for new FSUIDs so all have one.  Go look yours up J.
  • Action Items
    1. Continue to write equivalent functionality of CARS user functions at https://cars.acns.fsu.edu/CARS/account_maintenance.html into the FSUID pages.
    2. Develop two way reliable CARS <=> FSUID “RPC” mechanism (needed to eliminate the CARS => FSUID “load lag” and to provide all CARS user functions in FSUID).
    3. Need to develop “departmental Helpdesk” user management pages and a “departmental super user” LDAP account for departmental use (Film School is still very interested)
    4. [UCS, IS] Integrate FSUID management closer to CARS (e.g., when person changes CARS password or user name, immediately change it in the eDir!)
    5. [IS] Write web-based documentation explaining how to use eDir for authentication (pure LDAP, UNIX passwd file, RADIUS, Apache auth_ldap, etc.)
    6.  [IS] Write Perl “LDAP failover” module; get mod_perl working on fsuid.fsu.edu.
    7.  [IS, ODDL] Connect C.A.S. to Secure Login, Blackboard & FSUID, all pointing to eDir.
    8.  [Group – longer term] Continue working SSN => FSNSN replacement discussions with campus.
    9. Populate/associate Novell account information into eDir (still need a Novell proxy admin account))
