Work Items

Vivek and Chris - Provisioning work

  • Testing of provisioning framework, making corrections
  •   we are constrained to some extent by how wizard works, to facilitate UI configuration
  • Every section has clickable link at top, for metadata, diagnostics, etc.
  • New LDAP patterns
  • GRP-4165  each wizard section could have "back to top" link
  • Updating cache , fix made
  • Foreign key issues are being fixed, SQL, Azure and Duo
  • calling of unit tests is now through the daemon module
  • Next steps include:
  •    UI, add anchors 
  •    Object class attribute getting changed in target - Chris will follow up
  •    Object caching


Shilen

Subject change daemon

  • If there is a  change to someone's subject identifier or other attribute, put on table and sync it to Grouper quickly
  • UMICH wants unresolvable subjects to be handled.
  • Becomes a real time USDU daemon
  •   Unresolvable Subject Deletion Utility (USDU)
  •  
  • Looking at provisioning
  • Test cases
  • If it is seen as unresolvable and adds USDU attribute on the member….. This is an attribute framework issue. 
  • Should there be some locking?
  • If same sync process, they lock on each other and get entries in the sync table
  • USDU can sometimes take 2 hours to run
  •     Do we want incremental to not run for a few hours?
  • Fix locking issue on attribute framework side
  • Race conditions
  • Shilen recommends not do locking 
  • Fix on attribute framework side
  • Or have existing cleanup process handle it, that checks for multi assigns
  • Shilen will make sure no duplicate USDU attributes
  • GRP-4166  Attribute framework should use database constraints to ensure single assign attributes aren't multi assigned


Chris

  • Ideal state for diagnostics is
  •      You hit run and get quick answer if provisioning is set up right
  • Now you have to configure provisioner and many more steps and then do diagnostics
  • Provisioning workflows: Full, incremental and diagnostics
  • Will work on demo movies
