New version of yaim core
  • Configuration changes needed for a new version of trustmanager and util-java. These changes are included in a new function not used yet by any yaim module. The idea is that any service configuring tomcat will use this function in the future.
  • The creation of users specifying a home directory wasn't working. This is fixed now.
  • GLOBUS_TCP_PORT_RANGE is not defined for the WN and it's properly defined for the TAR UI. MYPROXY_TCP_PORT_RANGE is not defined any more.
  • YAIM checks whether fetch-crl is installed and fails otherwise.
  • groups.d/ structure is now available for all the node types.
  • gridview is configured only if it's installed.
  • The verify-proxy plugin is not present in the lcmaps configuration for gridftp.
  • /opt/edg/var/info directories for the software tags are again created by yaim.
  • New site-info.pre and .post variables:
    • BDII_ARCHIVE_SIZE: It is the number of dumps of the database to keep for debugging purposes. Default is 0.
    • BDII_BREATHE_TIME: It is the time in seconds between updates of the bdii. Default is 120.
    • BDII_PASSWD: This is the password for the LDAP database used by the bdii. Default is $(mkpasswd -s 0).
    • BDII_READ_TIMEOUT: It is the amount of time to wait until an information is assumed to have timed out. Default is 300.
    • CONFIG_GRIDMAPDIR: It enables or disables the creation of the gridmap file. If set to yes, it creates it. If set to no, it doesn't create the gridmap file. Default is yes.
    • TRUSTMANAGER_CRL_UPDATE_INTERVAL: This variable is used in the trustmanager configuration and it defines how often the X509_CERT_DIR is polled for changes in the files. It's a number followed by h,m or s time units. Default is 2h.
    • TOMCAT_HOSTCERT_LOCATION: path of the tomcat host certificate. Default is /etc/grid-security/tomcat-cert.pem.
    • TOMCAT_HOSTKEY_LOCATION: path of the tomcat host key. Default is /etc/grid-security/tomcat-key.pem.
    • TOMCAT_USER: tomcat user. Default is "tomcat".
