KMIP interop test program Discussion
Status • Membership • Oracle, IBM, Safenet, Cryptsoft, Quintessence have joined • EMC, Thales have expressed interest in joining soon • Others are more than welcome
Testing status • Three testing agreement documents being prepared • KMIP Test Program Application and Agreement • Request for KMIP server interop test • Request for KMIP client interop test • Servers being shipped to SNIA tech center • Hope to announce availability of the test program this year
Assumptions/Questions • Server implementations are located at the SNIA tech center • We have allocated a rack • Client implementations will be testing remotely (even though in some cases they may be co-resident) • A test is for a product at a particular version
Assumptions/Questions • All server implementations will be available to all client tests • Client testing will be per profile/recipe which is a subset that is functionally complete • Testing is confidential and only pass results are posted with permission
Fee structure • SNIA and SSIF membership based upon company size • Testing fees are cost recovery • Server testing is annual fee - $3000 • If multiple versions need to be supported simultaneously then that is two server testing fees • Client testing - $500 • per client fee • There is a concern that client testing fee will not recover our costs
Typical workflow and timeframes • Server – stable for at least a year • Shipped to SNIA tech center • Provisioning in SNIA tech center • Vendor configures, provides instruction to SNIA on capturing results from a client test • Vendor provides support for diagnostics, maintenance of the server • Server test cases are automated and server passes the interop test and is included in the list of servers available • Client – total elapsed time < 2 months • Client tests privately • Client declares readiness for validation • Client exercises test cases for their recipe and the server implementations and results are documented
