  1. Campus Community Growing Pains at the Univ. of Wisconsin Common Solutions Group Duke University, 11-Jan-2001 Keith Hazelton, Univ. of Wisconsin http://www.wisc.edu/arch http://axle.doit.wisc.edu/~haz

  2. Campus Community growing painsat the University of Wisconsin • Going multi-campus • From ID office to…? • Going inter-institutional CSG, Duke University

  3. Going multi-campus • UW-Madison University Directory Service 2.0 • Registry with all People of Particular Interest ( PoPI ) • …and finally a production LDAP directory • UW System has asked us to implement a registry and LDAP directory for all 26 institutions CSG, Duke University

  4. Going multi-campus • A person in the UW System registry may carry one or more roles at one or more campuses • Are there service distinctions? • What assumptions and systems will this break? CSG, Duke University

  5. From ID office to … ? • Personnel has told us that our PAM* can’t take on any more work • The class of “others” in the registry is growing • Some of us think we now need a true Registration Authority • That’s a big step * Post-algorithmic Mechanism CSG, Duke University

  6. …A Registration Authority • A function (probably distributed) that would • Perform the bootstrap identification and authentication process • Issue a credential of some sort CSG, Duke University

  7. …A Registration Authority • People would often be in the registry before they were sent to the RA • SAT test score files, sales reps • Only when a person becomes “of particular interest” do they get sent to the RA • Where is the line? Applicants? Visiting researchers? CSG, Duke University

  8. Going inter-institutional • eduPersonAffiliation attribute • In the eduPerson object class 1.0 (22-Jan-2001) • Controlled vocabulary • Involves radical simplification • Faculty, staff, student, alum, member, affiliate, employee • “Member” is any one or more of fac/staff/student/employee • “Member” is the most generic service class (parallels UW-Madison “eligible for ID card”) • Will evolve by the eduPerson community process 1.0 CSG, Duke University

  9. Going inter-institutional • Paired with PKI, would find application with the computational Grid (ANL, Condor, etc.) • They would prefer institutionally-issued certs to their current homegrown approach • Would support inter-institutional collaborative workgroups and open access to distributed computational resources CSG, Duke University
