inf-unit work for SL6 server platform

Project ID: 
201
Current stage: 
Manager: 
Unit: 
What: 

Description: This is a followon from #200, and covers all the inf-unit work required for a SL6 server (as opposed to desktop/development) platform that isn't explicitly covered by other projects.

Deliverables: SL6 server platform. Specifically upgrade inf-unit servers and services, and
provide service items for other units, as follows:


  • Network services

    • Switch configuration
    • Routing
    • Edge filters
    • DNS
    • DHCP
    • NTP
    • OpenVPN

  • Console services
  • Authentication services

    • Kerberos
    • wallet
    • kx509
    • iFriend
    • cosign

  • Authorisation services

    • Roles and entitlements framework

  • Directory services

    • OpenLDAP

  • Account management framework (prometheus)
  • Host monitoring service (nagios)
  • Chat service
Why: 

Customer: All

Case statement: #200 only covers what's needed to get SL6 DICE up and running for development and desktops. As it's intended as a server platform too, this project is needed for the additional work that's not explicitly covered by other projects.

When: 

Status:

Timescales: Variable. Some work can be left until we (inf-unit) need it for our own purposes. Some has to be done before other units can proceed with their own SL6 server platform work.

Priority: Necessary.

Time:

How: 

Proposal:

Resources: All unit members are likely to be involved in some aspect or other of this project.

Plan:

Other: 

Dependencies: DevProj #200 is now complete and signed off.

Risks: If we don't do this work there won't be a SL6 server platform.
