hi, quick feedback before our afternoon meeting :) Burke, S (Stephen) wrote:
OK, the second general question that I haven't noticed being discussed is how we structure the DIT. Your example objects seem to just have e.g. "dn: EntityId=testExecutionEnvironment,o=grid" which isn't really viable! As I've mentioned in the past I think there may be a good case for saying that we don't require a given DIT structure, or at least allow some degree of flexibility to restructure it. Since every object now has an ID I think it's possible to say that objects should always be referenced by ID and not DN - which also relates to the ChunkKey question. However, even if we take that view we should clearly have some recommended structure (or structures).
From the nordugrid experience we find the DIT very important. According to our view the LDAP rendering must come with a recommendation for DIT. This was one of our main issues with glue-1.3.
A specific question for me is whether we want to introduce some extra dummy object(s) to allow for grouping.
grouping is also important. we have the same in our ldap tree, we created a dummy object to group e.g. job entries under queues. btw, there is a similar grouping introduced in the xml rendering. bye, Balazs
