• Candido suggested an alternative for the user behind a client in case we don't get news from Derek (SASL-CA) soon enough. To be done for end of August. - Got news from Derek.
• Once done, Nina can start integrating it within psUI (early September) - Delayed as JRA5 metadata needs extention.
• Stijn and Candido to Liaise for the details on the integration of the Authentication class. - done
• CR to put priority on user behing a client scenario for the end of August.
• NJ to prioritise input errors and output drops in August. Then in September to integrate the Authentication mechanism provided by CR.
• SM to integrate the looking glass into psUI in September. - done

Minutes

Attendance: Candido, Nicolas, Sasa, David, Patricia, Stijn, Nina, Juergen

• Candido updates:
  • UbC: same status as before. Once descriptors included by JRA5, needs 2 days to finalised.
    • Juergen mentioned that they are hoping to get it done for the 12th of October.
    • Candido provide the UbC by the 17th of October
    • Nina Implement the UbC case by the 23rd of October (tbc)
      • 1. Create a psUI tab (User behing a client) where a user can select a router and request two or three looking glass commands (simple ones for concept proofing). Liaise with Stijn for the schema.
           • Alternative option, have Stijn Integrating the looking glass tab into pS-UI and Nina working on the back-end.
        2. Use authentication between the client and the SSH/Telnet MP. Liaise with Candido for the utilisation of java classes.
        3. Provide a description what is planned to be done to Nicolas and Candido and how the tests are planned 12th o fOctober
        4. Deliver the product for the 23rd of October
        5. Coordination with Stijn for the integration of the current looking glass into pSUI for the 23rdof October.
• Candido mentioned it is best to have tested all the client scenarios before asking the developers to integrate the auth classes in their services.
  • Integrate the authentication within CNM
    1. Create a CNM (Automatic Client case) view where a user can select a router and request two or three looking glass command (simple one for concept proofing). Liaise with Stijn for the schema.
    2. Use authentication between the client and the SSH/Telnet MP. Liaise with Candido for the utilisation of java classes.
    3. Provide a description what is planned to be done to Nicolas and Candido and how the tests are planned for the 28th of September
    4. Deliver the product for the 5th of October
  • Integrate the authentication within VisualperfSONAR
    1. Create a VisualperfSONAR tab (client in a web-container) where a user can select a router and request two or three looking glass commands (simple one for concept proofing). Liaise with Stijn for the schema.
    2. Use authentication between the client and the SSH/Telnet MP. Liaise with Candido for the utilisation of java classes.
    3. Provide a description what is planned to be done to Nicolas and Candido and how the tests are planned for the 28th of September
    4. Deliver the product for the 5th of October
  • Schedule a session with the perfSONAR developers for the utilisation of Auth in Sevilla. (unless the products are delivered earlier on, in which case a conf call would be organised). Are concerned by the integration of Auth for the release
    1. dLS, RRD MA, SQL MA: Roman and Maciej
    2. SSH/Telnet MP: Stijn
    3. BWCTL MP, Hades MA and BWCTL MA: in perl, a workplan is expected from Erlangen for the 3rd of October
       • Liaise with Candido for the implementation part (schema + java code as driver)
    4. L2 status MP: in perl, a workplan is expected from Erlangen for the 3rd of October Matthias and Mark (can liaise with Erlangen)
  • Liaise with Candido for getting information on the integration of the Authentication java classes. A conf call will be organised to schedule the work.
  • Funtional testing of the authentication and of the AS service.

Objectives

• To make the point about the Authentication service and its utilisation by the first web-service and visualisation tool.
• Review of the progress against the plan drafted on the 26th of July call.

Agenda

• Progresseses Update (CR, SM, NJ)
• Start the integration of the Authentication within the services to be released (to be done for the end of October)
• How to deal with Authentication once the next release software are being deployed (what is the recommended track).
  1. people access the services and authentication is by-passed
  2. people access the services with a dummy authentication (there we validate the mechanism in operatio)
  3. only GIdP registered people are authenticated and if the are authenticated with the GIdP, then they start tests as TCP throughput tests.
  4. Other?
