15:30 → 15:45 Jan's questions in detail and dev. status/issues

• Evaluation of the module
• convince CERN that it works
• convince censor that it works
• non-functional
  • performance, reliability, availability
  • Pod unavailable
  • Security (quantitive): attack surface, defense (qualitative)

Speaker: Jan Schill

For testing with a local NSS set NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0

Integrate with Indico a.s.a.p.

Use the comment filename for recording the comment's timestamp.

15:45 → 16:00 Outcome of the Policy Document for a CERN Solid server

Let's list all the alternatives for a realistic pod hosting for CERN's potentially 40K users.

Speaker: Maria Dimou (CERN)

Policy for a CERN Solid server

wait for solidcommunity.net to migrate to CSS. Then give requirements based on User eXperience.

Issues of ID provider and storage remain open. If CSS comes with NO ID provider and NO storage, the overhead for CERN to develop the interface is too much!
