Grouper in Action Tutorial Sunday Oct 15 in San Francisco at TechEx,
- 19 enrolled
Proposed Draft Agenda for the Grouper Tutorial:
- 1) Grouper product specific details - what’s there, what’s new, how to configure/create common grouper components/objects, perhaps a little of what’s coming.
- 2) TIER Grouper Deployment Guide - theory, based on community practice, on how to leverage grouper the "TIER way”
- 3&4) How 1 & 2 manifest themselves on specific campuses (this is the Grouper in Action part)
- Lafayette w/ a RabbitMQ based provisioning strategy
- GeorgiaTech w/ a PSPNG based provisioning strategy
- 5) Open Q&A/discussion
Current work tasks
Vivek – WS messaging integration https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Grouper+Messaging+System
- Soft launch of AWS and ActiveMQ, please kick tires if possible,
- Rabbit MQ messaging already released
Chris – Patches, attestation,
- Deprovisioning (hope to have this ready for review before TechEx)
Bert – PSPNG
- When attributes change on groups, causes full sync
- Is this excessive?
- When parent stems are moved around, e.g. bushy DN needs to change
- How to catch that outside of scheduled full sync
- Shilen thinks there are change logs for renames
- Bert will track down events that might be slipping through
- If description or another provisioned attribute, would like to be real time
- Deploy as part of full sync, and add attribute evaluation if doesnt perform enough
- Attributes and stem renames would be in one patch. Patch will be ready: friday
- After that, look at Miami’s scheduling problem. Performance issue also on mind. Time is not right for that right now.
- NYU escaping issues
- Last email was a curious end result with a bunch of escape chars
- Comma in the middle of an RDN
- NYU has patch, suggestion was of wrong set of combinations, Julio can try the new set of combinations
Shilen – Messaging and loader
- Will look at LDAP loader jobs. Expression language for subject ID.
- Columns are subject info, loader group name for config
- Get a message for LDAP group, get all messages, mark as complete, schedule the job
