Requesting Access to Services

Most of the StratusLab services are integrated with a central LDAP server containing the usernames and passwords (along with more general information) for all of the project's participants.

To add your information to the LDAP server and thus create accounts on the various StratusLab servers, please do the following:

• Fill in the LDAP information below.
• Send this form to the people in the contacts section.

They will contact you when your entry in the LDAP server has been added.

# Replace fields in the angle brackets!
dn: cn=<<your CN below>>,ou=people,o=stratuslab
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: person
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: top
uid: <<your username: short, lowercase, no special characters>>
sn: <<your sirname>>
givenName: <<your first name>>
cn: <<your CN: must be combination of 'sn' and 'givenname'>>
postalAddress: <<full mailing address, use dollar signs for newlines>>
mail: <<primary email address>>
mail: <<secondary email address, add more 'mail' lines if necessary>>
o: <<partner name>>
mobile: <<number with international prefix>>
telephoneNumber: <<number with international prefix>>
facsimileTelephoneNumber: <<number with international prefix>>
description: <<position in project>>
departmentNumber: <<comma-separated list of work package numbers: WP1, ...>>
userPassword: <<see instructions below>>

For the password, use the command slappasswd which is available on all unix-based systems. It should return something like this:

{SSHA}EFuOFn5Kf0l11LeZwDN4Q9wfRw6BbrSq

The information in the LDAP server is not publicly available. Consequently, daemons needing access to the username/password information must also have an account. Directly contact the people in the contacts section to create an entry for your daemon.

To create entries in the LDAP server contact Marc-Elian Bégin, Vangelis Floros, Cal Loomis, and Ruben Montero.
