# Argus Collaboration Meeting - 19/5/2017
## General News
EGI conference : presentation on EGI AAI mentioning evaluation/development of a service
similar to Argus
* Argus may be considered: may need to make more publicity on what Argus is capable
of doing nowadays
* People tend to look at XACML3 with JSON-based policy/bindings rather than XACML2 (currently
used in Argus) that is using XML- and SAML-based policies and requests/responses.
* Changing this in Argus is a significant development (but doable)
* In fact we are far from using the expression power of XACML2: need a clear justification
to move to XACML3
* XACML2 XML-based policies hidden by Argus simplified policy language, interaction with the service is not hidden.
* EGI FedCloud looking at XACML to define policy for spawning VMs: may make Argus
unusable in this context, since they probably want something up to date... Still very preliminary
Other projects doing things similar to Argus, like DC/OS (project to manage a datacenter
with containers, related to Mesos)
* May be good to have a look
## 1.7.1 Release Status
Release is ready as far as the code development and packages are concerned
* Available in our internal repo
Documentation: merged but error on ReadTheDocs preventing it from being available
* Michel will look at it
Next UMD release planned mid-June: try to be included in it
* Everything required by EGI
* Need to open a GGUS ticket
## Issues
An issue was seen on one of the GRIF Argus servers: GGUS ticket opened but not yet at
ARGUS support unit
* A similar problem was also reported by CERN after adding a group associated with a
wrong account prefix (configuration typo)
* Issue is that PDP is getting stuck: no more answer possible from Argus
## AOB
Next meeting: June 16, 2 pm
