[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
- All provisioning modules will follow the Grouper configuration paradigms with properties overlays and expression language.
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.
