[edit] Our Plan
- Goal
Install one or more Shibbolized GridSphere portlet containers for BioPortal Portlet and NDSG R Portlet.
- Background
In MAMS's work, the patches are developed for GridSphere version 2.1.1 and version 3.0.5. However, BioPortal Portlet and NDSG R Portlet are running on GridSphere 2.2.x. Therefore there are possible two options available for this problem: migrate BioPortal Portlet and NDSG R Portlet from GridSphere 2.2.x to 3.0.x or develop a shibbolized GridSphere patch for version 2.2.x.
- Required work analysis
- Upgrade Path for GridSphere 3.0.5
- Contact Vladimir for BioPortal component details from the GridPorlet packages
- Contact GridSphere mailing list to find out the possible complexities of GridPorlet upgrade
- Upgrade Path for Shibbolized GridSphere 2.1.1 to 2.2.7
- Investigate the user login structure for GridSphere 2.2.7
- Investigate the possible complexities for migrate Shibbolized GridSphere 2.1.1 patches to GridSphere 2.2.7
- Setup a virtual machine (VM) for shibbolized GridSphere test installation. bg51.bestgrid.org has been setup for this purpose
- Install Shibboleth Service Provider.
- Install Shibbolized GridSphere (ShibGS)
- Review the installation process with Vladimir Mencl and Nick Jones
- Estimated Time
- 3 to 4 days
