Background & Basics
This is a staging area for material for which JRA3 is fully or partially responsible in the GN4-2 PLM Processes.
Any operational material is available at SA2.
The matrix of responsibilities for transition to production is also at SA2
Process
Processes are documented ad interim on Sharepoint pending update of the PLM site.
Useful Templates/Resources
- CBA Word document, customised for JRA3
- CBA Payback schedule excel, customised for JRA3
- Roadmap template
- PID Template - general
- Production Transition Templates for Service Definition, Policy and Branding and Operational docs- use as early as is sensible, not just in transition.
- GÉANT SD Response SLAs - for inspiration

- Original GN4-1 deliverable 9.3
- Client CA - architecture
- Server CA - architecture
- Components and Workflow
Pilot Plan:
- basic UAT: validate all steps of workflow
initial signup
manual one user creation
CSV user creation
invitation issuance
installer pickup
eduroam usage
credential expiry /revocation - input regarding various design choices
tracing: how important is it group users across credentials with Chargeable-User-Identity?
product exclusivity: Managed IdP XOR normal RADIUS profiles
import: is the choice "manual" and "import by CSV" sufficient? Which other user upload method would people like?
credential communication: is it okay to leave means of sending invitation token to admin? Shall we implement a "Send by email/Skype/Facebook"?
deadman switch: is this appreciated/its necessity understood? What would be a comfortable interval for participants?
end-user import: is the "one time import password" mechanism understood? If any, what are its UX problems?
OS autodetection: does this work well enough - and do end users "get it" that they should visit the download page with the exact device they want to configure?
re-use of invitations: one invitation, one credential, one device? Or should invitation allow multiple devices, or be good for a certain amount of time for an arbitrary number of devices? - Cost recovery and pricing model - verify the assumptions of required income for sustainability post GN4-2 as per CBA figures. Define a final target price before transition to service.
