Apologies: .
There are serious staffing problems for bug fixing, installation and testing required to complete this TF and provide a reliable, stable and performant VO Registration service for LHC Experiment VOs based on VOMRS-ORGDB-VOMS. In order of importance:
These concerns have been expressed at the February 2005 GDB, in the Deployment issues' note in March 2005, at the Taipei meeting on SC3 in April 2005, at the JSPG in June 2005.
Agenda:
1. Comments on the previous meeting's notes
http://cern.ch/dimou/lcg/registrar/TF/meetings/2005-04-28 - All
2. Action list review - All
3. Discussion on voms code versions - Vincenzo
4. Migration plan review Here is the latest plan now - All
5. VOMS Bugs' review - Vincenzo
6. Test the glite installation procedure for voms-oracle on glite-voms.cern.ch - Vincenzo, Valerio, Karoly
7. Configure VOMRS on lcg-voms.cern.ch for VOs 'maria' and 'lhcb' - Maria, Tanya
8. Meet the LHC experiments' VO managers to explain the registration flow (graph),
demonstrate VOMRS (slides) and discuss the migration plan (plan)
- (all VO managers joined except the ALICE ones).
9. Next meeting.
The notes were accepted without changes.
(*** ACTION 2004-09-17--9 ***) Maria will test VOMRS and
make available to the TF a list of features. By the time these notes are written,
Tanya announced
mid-December 2004 the pre-alpha version https://hotdog62.fnal.gov:8443/vo-LCG/vomrs
for testing. Also, early May Tanya brought up https://lcg-voms.cern.ch:8443/vo/Test/vomrs and https://lcg-voms.cern.ch:8443/vo-LCG_Test/vomrs .
Maria should ask the experiment secretariats to include her in the experiments
to be able to test.
PENDING Request sent to the secretariat in May. Atlas and Alice did not
yet process the requests.
(*** ACTION 2004-09-17--12 ***) TF to re-discuss the Usage Rules re-acceptance
prompt in more detail.
Comment just before the 2005-04-28 meeting:
Now that http://edms.cern.ch/document/573348 (VO Security Policy) should we
ask the LHC Experiment VO managers to prepare their AUPs and link them from
VOMRS (when installed at CERN)? The document is DRAFT.
CANCELLED. The new AUP is
still in process within the JSPG and the VO Security Policy is unusable while
draft. Link to today's
Usage Rules still. Close at the next meeting.
(*** ACTION 2004-10-28--1***) Tanya to make a UML diagram in addition to the
VOMRS Registration Process flow and to the VOMRS_new_req document they prepared
with John.
Comment just before the 2005-04-28 meeting:
Now that Karoly's ORGDB modules are ready, it would be more helpful to make
a diagram on each package involved where/when so that simple users/installers/VOmanagers
can understand how the new structure works.
DONE. Here
is the VO Registration graph. Close at the next meeting.
(*** ACTION 2004-11-29--1***) Karoly to make available a sceleton of Classes
for VOMRS developers to use when interfacing to the ORGDB.
Discuss it when Tanya comes. This should be part of
vomrs because it has nothing to do with gLite. Investigate if a CVS repository
is needed for the lcg-foundation
interface.
DONE. The software is in FNAL CVS. Close at the next meeting.
(*** ACTION 2005-01-18--1***) John and Tanya to update their CA management
paper.
Comment just before the 2005-04-28 meeting:
The document source appears "Last saved 2005-01-10". The updates
discussed are in the notes from the 2005-01-18 meeting.
DONE. Close at the next meeting.
By the time these notes are written, voms 1.5.4 is the version of choice. The client has been tested by the Grid Deployment Team. The server will be available with glite R1.2 early July. It is not clear if anyone tested it.
Here is the latest plan now. See concerns in the Executive summary above.
Bug numbers 5834, 5836, 5856, 5860, 5863, 5887, 5937, 5961, 8490, 8491, 8573, 8639, 8641, 8697, 8756, 8700, 8799 and bugs related to glite installation/configuration scripts were extensively discussed. Developers should them up-to-date.
This was done by the developers on a test host. No testing was possible because voms-admin on Oracle didn't exist. A tool for migrating VOs from MySQL to Oracle is needed. This doesn't affect the LHC Experiment VO because VOMRS will take care of this.
This was done by Maria with walk-through by Tanya for a test VO 'maria' and LHCb. We noticed tremendous performance problems during phase II registration when the email of the user must be matched in ORGDB. We invited Miguel Anjo to the meeting, but there is no improvement available yet. Maria entered 4 savannah tasks on VOMRS notification templates. Tanya is working on VOMRS 1.1.2 incorporating these improvements.
We had no news from the ALICE VO management, despite the meeting reminders. People were positive about the new approach. We decided to meet again at the end of June but intermediate VOMRS improvements delayed the configuration of additional VOs.
A next meeting with the VO managers was decided for June 28 at 15 hrs CET. Given the VOMRS developments in June we should decide whether we keep that date!
