DataStructures/API - Entity Registry WGs

Last Month

  • Began focus on 4 month roadmap for work to complete by end of September 2018
  • Began specific TIER schema definitions to cross-reference with Banner to collaborate with and aid TIER Campus Success Program participants using Banner
  • Continued work on advancing midPoint demos
  • Worked on development of an SOW to support Evolveum's development of a standard TIER midPoint container
  • Held several discussions around determining a final schema definition language for the TIER API specification

This Month

  • API/Schema work
    • Documentation of data structures, APIs and messages
    • Generate clients and services using OAI 3 (see above) and Swagger tooling
    • Banner SoR schema and Banner-midPoint connector - CSP initiated
  • Development of a TIER-style container for RabbitMQ
    • Taking advantage of what is available and fits our needs and will just need minor tailoring
  • ID Match API specification and implementation
    • Assemble a "Pilot" group with the interested CSP schools next month
  • Minimal Registry - we have agreed on this but have not "yet" produced a final document for distribution
    • Principally want to encourage folks to re-think how much they want to cram into their registry and so spec out the absolute minimal person
    • But also want to have a list that can be considered as add-ons for those who feel they need it. Need this whole list for completeness.
  • Finalized SOW for the TIER midPoint container

Roadblocks

  • TBD

Packaging WG

Last Month

  • Determined to use Supervisord for running TIER containers with multiple processes

  • Began discussion around a TIER messaging container for RabbitMQ (complies with AMQP)
  • Released Shibboleth IdP container that can be adopted w/o the need to build
  • Worked on development of an SOW to support Evolveum's development of a standard TIER midPoint container

This Month

  • Grouper build/test enhancements
    • returning error codes, etc.
    • working Grouper tests into Packaging tests is a goal, but Grouper tests take a long time
  • Revisiting base container OS decision
  • RabbitMQ container spec
  • Next month: Shibboleth UI packaging
  • Finalized SOW for the TIER midPoint container

Roadblocks

  • TBD
