Balazs Konya (Lunds universitet)

Present: Andrii, David, Oxana, Balazs, Florido, Aleksandr (partially), Maiken (partially)

 

1) Reviewed the pending gitlab issues.  Nothing blocking.

2) Quickly checked the pending ARC6 merge requests.

DECISION: Maiken to merge everything Today.

3) Long discussion about the [mapping] block and especially the

unixmap = [unixname][:unixgroup] rule

The source of the problem (if it isa problem) is the very powerfull and undocumented (in the arc.conf.reference) way of specifying (mapping) rules.

This functionality is described in the (now obsolete) http://www.nordugrid.org/documents/arc-ce-sysadm-guide.pdf on page 94.

DECISION2: we are seriously considering dropping the gridmap parameter from the [mapping] block and the unixmap parameter will be used to provide same (gridmaping) functionality

DECISION3: Andrii writes up a new complete definition of the unixmap parameter that will include all the hidden rules AND contain his suggestion to simplify and make consistent usage of rules with the [authgroup:name] block
