Proposed Changes
Please contact gocdb-admins if the changes listed below will have repercussions. These changes were proposed at the Jan OMB with no objections: https://indico.egi.eu/indico/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=2372
Plan to deploy following updates on Tues 3rd March.
UTF-8 Character Support
Allow UTF-8 characters for selected fields with rendering in the output of the relevant PI methods. This will allow chars such as àšëÂÒÚÿaúø (this is only a small selection) on the following fields:
- Human readable 'Description' fields for: Project, NGI, Site, Service, Service Group, Downtime, ServiceType, Scope.
- Certification status change 'Reason' field.
- User Forename and Surname (note, not Cert DN)
- Extension Property values (Sites, Services, ServiceEndpoints, ServiceGroups).
get_user PI method updates
- PI method: https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/GOCDB/PI/get_user_method
- New elements: <PRIMARY_KEY> (PK of role's target entity)
- Update values of <ENTITY_TYPE> element so that:
- 'group' value is separated into 'ngi' and 'project'
- All values then become: project, ngi, site, servicegroup
Sample changes highlighted below:
Login via EGI SSO Username/Password
- Note, to login via EGI SSO, your account will need to be associated with a valid/recognissed certificate (GOCDB will request SAML attribute for the user’s DN to map to an existing Gocdb account)
- Allows login from a browser without personal cert loaded in browser
- Does not affect PI - x509 still required for protected methods (no SSO/SAML redirects)
