[PSP Moving Forward]
Following on from the discussion from the July 3, 2013 Grouper Dev call. We chatted about the future of the PSP. General consensus which came out of the call:
- The PSP is weighted heavily towards trying to be all things to all people.
- Due of the above, it suffers horribly in the area of performance.
- Small, specially built modules focused on quickly and efficiently provisioning specific targets would be more useful to the community than a general solution until such time that a clear market direction emerges in the form of 90% of things speak (SPML/SCIM/Whatever-next-thing)
General Requirements
General requirements moving forward for these purpose built provisioners:
- Support incremental provisioning
- Support bulk reconciliation. Note: they may not be the same executable, but should retain and reuse code and configs where possible/practical.
- Each module should be capable of being run in parallel with other modules
First Implementations
The current thought is to continue to support the PSP as is for LDAP/AD provisioning, and start the new paradigm with our SCIM implementation for SURFNet. After completing the SCIM modules, implementation of improved LDAP/AD would commence followed by the sunsetting of support for the PSP.
