Agenda February 20, 2009

  • Stephan, Patrick, Cynthia, Josh
  • VSTO Replica meeting
  • escience will be, in the long term, a production machine
  • Tomcat on escience
    • Cynthia has configured tomcat to be started by jsvc as the tomcat user and has setup an apache connector to have escience.rpi.edu:80 point to tomcat
    • tomcat.sh (script cynthia installed to start/stop tomcat)
    • Apache Tomcat Connector
    • See the Escience Software Stack page for more information on the tomcat/apache configuration
    • currently, vsto.rpi.edus is a CNAME.
    • escience.rpi.edu and vsto.rpi.edu simply point to the same place currently. Any documents under /tomcat/tomcat/webapp/ROOT will be served.
    • on dataportal.ucar.edu, where vsto.org is hosted, vsto has its own tomcat server. It is running out of /local/jakarta/rel/tomcat_vsto/webapps/vstoapp
    • vsto.rpi.edu will eventaully point to escience.rpi.edu/vsto[app], which will be under webapps/vsto[app] and be served by tomcat.
    • Josh will make sure that we can go vsto.rpi.edu to webapps/vstoapp.
  • VSTO codebase repository 
I have a public and private repository available at escience.rpi.edu

Apache/SVN are setup to use basic HTTP authentication over https

currently, the public repository is publicly viewable but requires authentication to write.
The private repository requires SSL authentication for read or write

public is available at     http://escience.rpi.edu/svn/public
private is available at    https://escience.rpi.edu/svn/private

Currently, you have to be logged in to the VPN to see either.
    • issue ... trac can only point to one repository. Can we not have one svn repository where different projects have different authentication/authorization requirements?
    • Stephan will look in to requiring SSL for write, anonumous for read, and merging public and private with directory level authZ
  • Trac on escience
    • Patrick will send an email regarding Trac update and will look into authT pre-ldap
  • VSTO Replica Portal Page - page for information on installing, configuring, pre-requisites, etc... for the VSTO replica portal.

Still to be done (added to fogbugz)

  • remove login tab from top of page (Josh)
  • remove requirement to login to access cedar data (Josh)
  • change the opendap request url for cedar to use the plotting username (Patrick)
  • svn repository checking (one repository using auth) (Stephan)
  • trac installation (Patrick)
  • vsto.rpi.edu to webapps/vstoapp
  • restful services for database access (Patrick)
  • http tunneling for database access (Josh)
