Metadirectory Technical Status Meeting
https://fsuid.fsu.edu/admin
11/02/2004
- Project
Status
- Associated a slew of COM AD accounts to FSUIDs
using a one-time load.
- Now populating fsuEduCarsFsucardType1 (see http://devfsuid.fsu.edu/admin/fsuid_descript/fsu-edu-cars-fsucard-type1.html)
from the infamous FSUCARD/HRMS crossover file).
- Discuss moving http://fsuid.fsu.edu
web pages under a portal, to align with the University’s desire to
implement an enterprise portal and redo the FSU home page – seems that
either a standalone Blackboard instance, PeopleSoft portal or a uPortal
instance are some logical choices to use.
- Discuss multiple “E” records in CARS and how
that affects FSUIDs (e.g., “natec” & “slawlor” example).
- Added a Helpdesk option to “Rename this FSUID”
iff card type == 18 and FSUID is all numeric. Added support for handling of card type == 18 and all
numeric FSUID in Secure Login (rename FSUID using the “email address”
algorithm for alumnus).
- Working integration issues with Secure Login
(“Manage Login Information” link within SL ßà FSUID web page); will have a redirect
URL/FSUID scheme (eventually this will be done seamlessly via CAS).
- Continuing to provide CARS user functions in
FSUID –Working on a “CARS API” via an SSH tunnel and Oracle PL/SQL calls
for CARS account management.
- 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.
- Switched eDir master node from udbprod back to
mdsoti.fsu.edu. Tweaked some
memory cache parameters (from dynamic to static) to make “ndsd” more
reliable; keeping an eye on it (memory monitor script running). Interesting to note FSUID web server
usage post 10/15: https://fsuid.fsu.edu/usage/usage_200410.html
- Note email/event archive at http://devfsuid.fsu.edu/admin/project-history/.
- Action
Items
- [IS,
ODDL] Connect C.A.S. to Secure Login, Blackboard & FSUID, all
pointing to eDir.
- Continue to write equivalent functionality of
CARS user functions at https://cars.acns.fsu.edu/CARS/account_maintenance.html
into the FSUID pages. Develop two
way reliable CARS ßà FSUID “RPC” mechanism (needed to eliminate the
CARS à FSUID “load lag” and to provide all CARS user functions in
FSUID).
- Need to develop “departmental Helpdesk” user
management pages and a “departmental super user” LDAP account for
departmental use using dynamic LDAP group ACLs (Film School is still very
interested)
- [UCS,
IS] Integrate FSUID management closer to CARS (e.g., when person
activate or changes CARS password or user name, immediately change it in the eDir!) NOTE: this process may be
subsumed by FSUID equivalency.
- [IS]
Write web-based documentation explaining how to use eDir for
authentication (pure LDAP, UNIX passwd file, RADIUS, Apache auth_ldap,
etc.).
- [IS] Test and install new Perl
“LDAP failover” module; get mod_perl working on fsuid.fsu.edu.
- [Group –
longer term] Continue working SSN à FSNSN replacement discussions with
campus. Pushing in IS out to
customers to start using FSUSN which is now populated in USER_ACCOUNT.
- Populate/associate Novell account information
into eDir (need to get with User
Services)
