DISCUSSION

PSP NG

[AI] (Bert) document PSP NG install process and the hybrid ant/maven approach.

May be altered by the info here for a way to use Maven without ant:

https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Grouper+Development+Environment+Using+Maven

Grouper 2.3 release

See Release Announcement here: https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Grouper+2.3+Release+Announcement

Some issues with hanging when Grouper starts.

Involves threads, Chris will verify. This will be a patch

DONE [AI] (Chris) document the commit standards on this wiki page

https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Grouper+developers+coding+standards

Chris will make a branch for Grouper 2.4 when we are done with things that must be patched for 2.3

Chris: Would help if every commit had a JIRA format.

Commit message:  GRP-1279: grouper installer should set sql logging to on so we can see progress of DDL on install or upgrade (commit [1|2|3])

Once branched, cherry pick all commits forward

Things to do before release

  • Patch for deadlock (DONE)

  • Installer that prompts to log SQL (DONE)

  • Test patch on demo upgrade (DONE)

  • Write release announcement - Emily draft it (DONE)

  • Send it to core then Grouper -dev and -user lists (DONE)

  • Shilen to write upgrade doc (DONE)

  • Chris to look 2.3 changes

  • Install pspng (so grouper-loader gsh can access the pspng classes)

 To do after release

  • Chris to try to a local upgrade

  • AI (Shilen) Document new web services

  • AI (Shilen) Document Refactor folder privileges to be “admin” and “create” instead of “stem” and “create -

  • [AI] (Bert) PSPNG Training Video (after necessary patches)

  • Installer to install to source dir


Grouper 2.3 Patches

  • PSPNG & attribute-creation. (multiple-assign attribute with single-string assignment). Need both attribute-definition and attribute-name. Copy code for rule-attribute creation (Grouper Check Config). Need a separate attribute-definition so access-control can be different. 

    • GrouperCheckConfig uses this folder below, add a “pspng” folder inside whatever is configured there, and then put your attribute definition and names in there


    • # root stem in grouper where built in attributes are put
      grouper.attribute.rootStem = etc:attribute

  • PSPNG testing harness

  • PSPNG & Messaging

  • PSPNG & Attributes of deleted groups (find group by gid_number)

  • UI updates for stem vs admin privs.

Grouper 2.4 Ideas

  • Think about pspng & attribute security (danger of an admin of a part of a tree being able to push their branch of groups into any connected system). Should an attribute-definition be created for each provisioner so they can be secured separately?

What’s needed?  When announce?  etc
