Infrastructure of OSGeo System Administration Committee (SAC)

System List

WE NEED TO DO OUR HOMEWORK AND COMPLETE THIS PAGE.

SVN and Trac are utilizing our central OSGeo LDAP server for authentication - a start towards the dream of one OSGeo userid/password for a variety of services and projects. We also have the capacity to capture project history in a migration to SVN for folks using CVS now.

Buildbot, for those not familiar with it, is used to do automated builds of software packages from svn, run tests suites, and provide a status web page indicating how it is working. An example is at: 

 http://buildbot.osgeo.org:8500/

The download server is just a server providing http download from a directory tree, but it is on a high speed network (telascience.org) with lots of bandwidth.

Services

Known Issues

  • .216/.217/.218/.219: need Admin group in sudoers file.
  • .74.220 is not using ldap authentication for shell access.
  • Access to LDAP server needs to be restricted to specific machines somehow?
  • We have to create userids on the LDAP server manually, can't be done through plone without a lot of work.
  • Plone instance is not using LDAP for authentication.

Service Groups

Currently, shell access is limited to users in the LDAP schema under the "Shell" group. No further group authorization/granularity exists at this time. It is desireable to have "Shell" be broken into groups like "Database", "Subversion Admin", etc to distribute the administration of those tasks.
