- Phase I of GatorSlogan access includes the following user services,
authenitcated through kerberos:
- Terminal server login
- Mailbox access
- Changing 'my' password
- Phase II of GatorSlogan access will consist of migration to LDAP services,
in place of smaller-scale database resources.
- Phase III of GatorSlogan access will consist of gradual migration of
services to use the campus-wide authentication server, including such
services as CICS/ISIS access.
The remainder of this document will deal with Phase I requirements
-
Support of phase I services will require the following administrative
services. These should be implemented through kerberos calls if at all
possible. Exhaustive audit trails will be critical; these administrative
controls will be capable of withdrawing people from the University.
- Create account
- Delete account
- Change account status
- this will require a database to be maintained, to be superceded by
LDAP at some point in the (hoefully very near) future.
Phase I database requirements are very limited, though:
UID, alias, "DNA", Account priveleges (change my password,
change others' passwords, change privileges)
- The user tasks will need the following API functions:
- authenticate me
- change my password
- The administrative tasks will need the following API functions:
- create account
- destroy account
- set account status
- set account priveleges
- show account
- change some password
- NERDC is responsible for supplying the following functions/services:
- Authentication daemon
- Account admin daemon, which authenticates through kerberos
- Authentication API, which follows the GSS specification, using kerberos
calls.
