Purpose
This document describes the interface used by Biomed VO dashboard for submitting and updating team tickets in GGUS.
The interface is using dedicated SOAP web services for submission and updating provided by GGUS.
However the team tickets feature is restricted to the use by Biomed and the WLCG VOs.
SOAP web service
The SOAP web services for submitting and updating team tickets are described in a wsdl file. This wsdl file is mapped to the GGUS test instance. For getting the wsdl file of GGUS production instance please contact the GGUS administrators.
4 SOAP operations are provided with the web services:
- OpCreateTeam
- OpModifyTeam
- OpGetTeam
- OpGetListTeam

OpModifyTeam
Via cfengine the *_temp.csv are copied to the GGUS production (and training) servers at the time when they are created. Coincidentally the php script voms_sync.php gets started. This script communicates with the GGUS user database and creates, deletes or updates user accounts according to the content of the csv files. Attributes covered by the synchronization process are
- VOMS role (team, alarm)
- Certificate DN
- User name
OpGetTeam
OpGetListTeam
