03:54 axfelix joined #dvn
04:31 garnett joined #dvn
06:50 bencomp joined #dvn
09:55 pdurbin bencomp: did you see this? http://irclog.iq.harvard.edu/dvn/2014-03-31#i_7748
11:20 bencomp pdurbin: yes, I did. They work (but I could only check this morning)
11:52 pdurbin bencomp: great. also. I was getting "invalid ssl cert" errors on redmine but this should be fixed now
11:55 bencomp pdurbin: haven't noticed any - or don't remember
11:55 pdurbin :)
11:57 pdurbin bencomp: so... about shibboleth... you're trying to add your "DVN-with-OIOSAML-hack" to 3.6.2? you said something about this yesterday
11:57 bencomp yes
11:57 bencomp well, the "-with-OIOSAML-hack" to 3.6.2.
11:58 pdurbin so, about that...
11:58 pdurbin bencomp: see how it says "rewrite our code from the ground up" on this blog post? Major Dataverse Release Coming Soon (Goodbye 3.6.x; Hello 4.0!) http://thedata.org/blog/major-dataverse-release-coming-spring-2014
12:00 bencomp pdurbin: when is 4 ready? :)
12:00 pdurbin bencomp: excellent question! :)
12:00 pdurbin we get asked that a lot
12:01 bencomp we're in a bit of a rush to get the most recent version running - with federated login via SAML
12:02 pdurbin I see. Makes sense
12:02 pdurbin bencomp: will you be in a rush to upgrade to 4.0 when it comes out?
12:08 bencomp pdurbin: it'll be balancing enhanced security, changes in functionality (current service excludes visualisations and stats), changes in management
12:08 bencomp we're a kind of nation-wide network
12:08 pdurbin right, hence the name: dataverse.nl
12:09 bencomp that, and contracts + SLAs
12:09 pdurbin bencomp: well, I have some reservations about using OIOSAML. For example, I filed this related bug against the Shibboleth project (OIOSAML is built on OpenSAML): [#OSJ-54] Investigate use of standard JAXP - Shibboleth JIRA - https://issues.shibboleth.net/jira/browse/OSJ-54
12:14 pdurbin using Xerces instead of JAXP is giving me problems like this: error on redeploy: DTD factory class org.apache.xerces.impl.dv.dtd.DTDDVFactoryImpl does not extend from DTDDVFactory · Issue #1 · pdurbin/oiosaml_on_glassfish - https://github.com/pdurbin/oiosaml_on_glassfish/issues/1
12:14 pdurbin bencomp: there's a related ticket about this: https://help.hmdc.harvard.edu/Ticket/Display.html?id=165457
12:15 bencomp pdurbin: we prefer Shibboleth, but got OIOSAML with dataverse.nl. We're investigating re-hacking… - but that is why we are interested in Shibboleth support :)
12:16 bencomp pdurbin: are you available for a skype call in a bit?
12:16 pdurbin bencomp: ok, so you do not necessarily want to stay with OIOSAML. You're open to the idea of using mod_shib with Apache in front of a Dataverse installation, for example?
12:17 bencomp YES
12:17 pdurbin heh
12:17 pdurbin we've been trying to avoid introducing a dependency on Apache but maybe we should reconsider this
12:18 bencomp Glassfish's http+shibboleth support is limited, I was told
12:18 pdurbin well, as I understand it, glassfish doesn't support shibboleth at all. that's why you have to add opensaml/oiosaml
12:19 pdurbin bencomp: have you seen this doc of mine where I explain the options I've investigated? https://docs.google.com/document/d/1y2axfd_ScmXVICFlV8AuPDdp5xHwTag54pUpVefzs5g/edit?usp=sharing
12:19 bencomp no, I haven't
12:19 pdurbin 1. OpenAM, 2. OIOSAML, 3. mod_shib, 4, writing our own solution
12:20 pdurbin bencomp: it would be great if you could read through that before we do a skype call
12:20 bencomp I'll do that and get back to you
12:20 pdurbin bencomp: awesome. thanks!
13:18 pdurbin bencomp: oh, I'd be happy to give you permission to comment on that google doc if you want
15:59 axfelix joined #dvn
16:06 bencomp pdurbin: thanks, for offering me commenting rights, but for now I only have one: could you add the date of publication? :)
16:07 bencomp are you available for a skype call tomorrow European pm?
16:10 pdurbin bencomp: it's ~6pm for you right now? you seem to be 6 hours ahead of me. it's ~noon here
16:11 bencomp correct, I'm having my dinner between office time and ultimate frisbee practice time :)
16:11 pdurbin been a while since I played ultimate. my wife and i were on a co-ed team
16:12 bencomp people easily think they're too old to play...
16:13 pdurbin or too busy with kids. some day they'll be old enough
16:13 bencomp :)
16:13 ijstokes joined #dvn
16:14 pdurbin bencomp: what time were you thinking?
16:18 bencomp pdurbin: 9am your timezone = 15h here, would that fit?
16:19 pdurbin bencomp: sounds good. should we invite any others? such as https://lists.iq.harvard.edu/mailman/roster/dvn-auth
16:22 bencomp I would like to bring my two colleagues doing the hard(er) work, but I'm interested in hearing other opninions too
16:24 pdurbin bencomp: instead of starting with a Skype call... what if you posted your thoughts to that "dvn-auth" list? Then we could follow up with a call...
16:24 pdurbin it would be a good way to get opinions
16:28 bencomp it would be, wouldn't it
16:28 bencomp :)
16:28 pdurbin '“Why wasn't I consulted,” which I abbreviate as WWIC, is the fundamental question of the web.' -- http://www.ftrain.com/wwic.html :)
16:29 axfelix I love paul ford :)
16:29 pdurbin hell yeah
16:29 pdurbin I tweeted at him once that he sounds like someone I know... but I don't know who
16:31 pdurbin axfelix: http://www.ftrain.com/robot_exclusion_protocol.html
16:31 axfelix 2002, wow
16:31 axfelix sounds like someone was having some trouble with robots.txt...
16:32 pdurbin heh. I only recently heard of that post
16:35 pdurbin bencomp: so what do you think? are you a writer or a talker? :)
16:37 bencomp pdurbin: I guess I'm more of a thinker… but I would like to seize this opportunity to talk about plans and experiences with SSO
16:39 bencomp although I don't mind introducing myself via email too
16:43 pdurbin bencomp: I'd love to get on the same page with you guys in terms of future plans for Shibboleth
16:43 bencomp same here
16:43 pdurbin bencomp: you're the ones who have already figured it out with OIOSAML. I was trying to follow your lead.
16:44 bencomp well, that wasn't us
16:45 pdurbin who is we kemosabe? ;)
16:51 pdurbin bencomp: I know what you mean. I got the history from Marina from UU.
16:52 bencomp pdurbin: had to look up the reference - according to Wikipedia, you should write "Ke-mo sah-bee" :P
16:52 pdurbin oh
16:52 pdurbin :)
16:53 bencomp did you actually keep the oiosaml branch on GitHub up to date with the develop branch?
16:55 pdurbin bencomp: nope. https://github.com/IQSS/dvn/tree/oiosaml is 12 commits behind. I didn't want to merge it in because it seemed to destabilze glassfish... the whole "org.apache.xerces.impl.dv.dtd.DTDDVFactoryImpl does not extend from DTDDVFactory" thing I linked to earlier: https://github.com/pdurbin/oiosaml_on_glassfish/issues/1
16:56 pdurbin bencomp: one of the main glassfish guys (Ed Burns) encourage me to post about it here: https://java.net/projects/glassfish/lists/dev/archive/2013-11/message/0
16:56 pdurbin but no one ever replied :(
16:56 * pdurbin cries
16:57 pdurbin ;)
16:58 bencomp yeah, well, DTDs?
16:58 * bencomp ducks
16:58 bencomp I'll finish and send my email to dvn-auth later
16:58 bencomp and read your post in more detail
16:59 pdurbin bencomp: earlier I mentioned a ticket ("#165457: xerces issue after redeploy") from your group. dunno if you've seen it
16:59 bencomp pdurbin: 9am for you tomorrow still okay?
16:59 pdurbin bencomp: sure!
16:59 bencomp cool
17:00 pdurbin bencomp: can you pm me your skype username?
17:00 bencomp yes
17:02 pdurbin got it. thanks
