perfsonar development work

[Loukik Kudarimoti <>]

Dear all,

A couple of last minute tweaks..

1. RPMs - So far, we have been using /home/perfsonar (with a perfsonar 
user account) for installing all the packages.

We have been advised to change this approach (to /opt/perfsonar and with 
perfsonar as a daemon user). Thanks to Guilherme and Gijs, we hope to 
have an update package maker script (along with brief documentation) 
available by wednesday. This may of course have an impact on some values 
in your services (if you have hardcoded some locations to be 
/home/perfsonar for example).

We request that all developers check their email on wednesday and 
generate rpms using the new rpm maker script when its ready (until then, 
could you please hold off on creating new RCs other than the need to do 
these for bug fixes)


2. Web admin jar - the basic (i.e. wizard) servlet is missing AuthN 
configurations

The wizard/basic section of each service should have two properties to 
control Authentication checks (just like LS). Gina sent an email 
describing the text to be used for these two properties (along with 
textual description of authentication properties in the advanced servlet 
for service.properties). Can you please make sure that your service's 
wizard has the two required fields in the wizard? If you have any 
questions, please ask Michalis.

If you have any questions, please let me know. I will provide an update 
on our RPM progress tomorrow. Hopefully, if things go okay, you can all 
generate your RCs by thursday.

thanks,
Loukik.
