UCC projects that people could work on

  • GMS upgrades

samba4

  • Set up new server
  • Install samba4: apt-get install --no-install-recommends samba4 ldb-tools attr

  • Copy the old data
  • Edit the old smb.conf to use an IP address instead of a domain name for the LDAP server.
  • Provision using classicupgrade: ./samba-tool domain classicupgrade --dbdir=/opt/samba-old/dbdir --use-xattrs=yes --realm ad.ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au --dns-backend=SAMBA_INTERAL --verbose /opt/samba-old/smb.conf.pdc

  • Test windows auth
  • Work out linux auth / required properties - do we need an OpenLDAP proxy (if so, run a backup DC on the LDAP hosts?)
  • Work out user adding
  • Schema changes for MIFARE and migrate all the MIFARE IDs across.
  • kerberos hahah oh god kill me now
  • Building from source requires ulimit -s unlimited to build the manpages (manifests as SIGBUS with xsltproc without it)
