  • Project Status
    • Big push to get FSUID setups completed before HR go-live: slowly spamming ~6K users; dept HR rep special “lookup” helpdesk page created that shows “incomplete FSUIDs” and gives them the ability to spam as well.
    • CAS-enabled FSUID, Secure Login & Blackboard (woo hoo! – this rocks!).  Only uses port 443 J.
    • Have access to HR EPM (ERP datawarehouse) tables for getting employee information after go-live.
    • New DSC form at http://www.ais.fsu.edu/logins.html for FSUID access.
    • Now populating“fsuEduLibraryNumber” in load-mod-mds.pl (every 4 hour eDir load script).  Using an existing “employeeStatus” attribute to contain active employee status based on appointment dates and status.
    • Renamed “Exchange/Outlook” to “Windows” in various places.
    • Enforce the user renaming their FSUID to an email style IFF card type == 18 and they have an all-numeric FSUID.
    • Web application list displays more meaningful name of FSUID web app.
    • 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 (Breeze is writing the PL/SQL calls)
    • Added button on Helpdesk page for renaming an FSUID back to the userkey value when fsuEduUserRole is VISITOR and the FSUID is in email format.
    • Handling deletes of visitor “email-style” FSUIDs by hand (problems@ais.fsu.edu)
    • Added logging code whenever an FSUID is renamed to FSHTDB.FSUID_CHG_TRACKING on marge’s UDB instance.  Added FSUSN as a field so we can track FSUID name changes per person.
    • DIRXML news update – rebuilding mdsdev.
    • Note email/event archive at http://fsuid.fsu.edu/admin/project-history/.
  • Action Items
    1. Get HR data feed working from PS HR EPM tables; modify existing attributes (org codes to PS account codes, for instance) and add new ones to get further relationships out of PS and into the eDir.  Initial plan is to create a table similar to the current HRMS “employee” table with larger field values, if needed.
    2. Get LDAP authentication working under AIX 5.2 (either natively using secldapclntd or using open source packages) – thanks to UCS for providing access to aim1.acns.fsu.edu for AIX testing.
    3. Get LDAP authentication & attribute updating working with UCS-configured BlueSocket box (thanks to UCS for providing the box!).
    4. Clean up some FSU AD directory attribute mismatches (e.g, “Johnsons”).
    5. Start playing with Mike Barker’s Bb instance running on Oracle 10g, with the goal being the ability to natively deliver all FSUID and Secure Login as a Bb portal module (resides on http://havoc.us.fsu.edu; ask Mike for access).
    6.  [IS] Provide an option for departmental creation of visitor accounts and AD Exchange accounts with appropriate associations (College of Medicine).
    7.  [IS] Write web-based documentation explaining how to use eDir for authentication (pure LDAP, UNIX passwd file, RADIUS, Apache auth_ldap, etc.).
    8.  [Group – longer term] Continue working SSN ŕ FSNSN 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.
    9. Work with ERP/Bryan Spaulding on BusObj FSUID/group A&A.
