Current UR experiences doc draft for UR-WG session
Hi All, Find attached the latest version of the UR experiences doc for discussion on Thursday. I've added a section on DEISA accounting, using information gratefully received from Jules. Some things we may wish to do/discuss: - Get the UR use cases/architectural views correct & verified (DGAS clearly needs to be updated!). Any others? Should we identify individuals who may be able to verify? - How much more technical detail for each use case should be added? - Include a section on extensions to UR -- Pull out extensions used from infrastructures? -- Perhaps also cover the kinds of issues/approaches suggested by Donal w.r.t. Tobias' recent email on extending URs?) - Clarify and agree on general structure, and content for the other sections of the document (security considerations, overall summary, etc). - Any others? I'll upload the latest copy to the UR-WG experiences doc section on GridForge tonight...

Hi, we've looked through the part regarding DGAS of the UR experiences document and have found that it describes an older version. Most things have changed since then. Also, the list of accounting record fields contains a lot of internal information that is not exposed to users through an interface and can neither be published nor accessed externally. We have written an update (including text, workflow, figures and data table), see the attachment. Cheers, Rosario and Andrea. PS: Since officially I'm not working anymore on DGAS, please send further enquiries to Andrea (in CC), although I will continue to help to answer questions if I can.
Dear Steve, Many thanks for the addition of the DEISA accounting facilities. Just one small remark, in section 4.8.1 it says "the User-Administration System (UAS), which is based on a distributed network of LDAP servers across all sites that synchronise their user accounting data between themselves periodically" Please change into "the User-Administration System (UAS), which is based on a distributed network of LDAP servers across all sites that synchronise their user account data between themselves periodically" So it is not the accounting information which is synchronized but the account information (login, X.509 DN etc.) of the users (and some of which is required for the URs produced). Cheers, Jules

Hi All, Many thanks to Jules and Rosario/Andrea for supplying feedback and further information for updating the document - I'll make these changes later today. Cheers Steve Jules Wolfrat wrote:
