3. Internal Testing Environment

4. Implemented supporting systems Prototype of Configuration Clearing Controller –Power-cycling using Power Switch Controller –http://edinet.cs.vsb.cz/index.php/Configuration_Cleari ng_Controller Prototype of Power Switch Controller –Encapsulates single APC AP-7952 power switch –http://edinet.cs.vsb.cz/index.php/Power_Switch_Contr oller Simple prototype of Linux-based Terminal Server –http://edinet.cs.vsb.cz/index.php/Linux- based_Terminal_Server

5. Nearest Planned WP3 Work Extensive testing on Internal Testing Platform –to correct as many bugs as possible before real piloting starts Completion of installation documentation –Input for WP6 –SVC SVN may be made accessible from outside of VSB-CZ now Suggestion for other partners how to adapt their labs for SVC –only basic ideas, detailed plan is in competence of WP6

7. Questions to solve Final decision who will host/maintain/patch Common Portal during piloting phase –FHJ-AT ? What information does WP4 need to prepare printable versions of SVC usage manuals for various user roles ? –Please start with SVC architecture design specification http://edinet.cs.vsb.cz/index.php/SVC_Technical_Infrastructure_Arc hitecture_Design –Familiarize with Common Portal GUI (edinet-cp.cs.vsb.cz) of internal testing platform (see http://edinet.cs.vsb.cz/index.php/Internal_Testing_Environment)

8. What do we need from other partners/WPs (1) FHJ-AT –Bugtracking system configured according to our specification http://edinet.cs.vsb.cz/index.php/Bugtracking_system –Developing of scripts for easy replication of Management Network VPN Gateways in cooperation with WP3 staff –Definition of security measures for production Common Portal and Lab Management Network VPN Gateways acessible permanently from any place of the Internet hosted on Linux Debian/Etch –Example configuration of OpenVPN virtual L2 topology link(s) for Linux- based Topology VPN gateways Use http://edinet.cs.vsb.cz/index.php/Remote_Access_and_Lab_Interconnection#La b_Interconnection_Implementation_Example examle topogy IT-FI –CSSs for Common Portal and application for user account management (will be created by UBE-CH) –WP3 will inform IT-FI after internal testing finishes (beginning of July)

9. What do we need from other partners/WPs (2) UBE-CH –Implementation of Shibboleth Identity Provider –Implementation of authentication and getting user attributes from respective Identity Provider into Common Portal AAA function (dummy now) –Implementation of WWW GUI for management of user accounts (user attributes) on Local AAA Servers (Shibboleth with Identity Providers) –See http://edinet.cs.vsb.cz/index.php/Implementatio n_of_AAA_Infrastructure for detailed specification
