VOMS Configuration

All the configuration is set via Puppet. Refer to the lcgvoms hostgroup and voms module for more info.

Upgrade procedure for a VOMS-admin release

For the VOMS-admin releases that change some of the existing functionality and/or add new features, we don't upgrade the software directly in production. Instead, we upgrade the voms-admin testing cluster (i.e. https://voms-testing.cern.ch:8443) first and then we notify the members of the experiments.

For doing so, we usually send a mail to the e-groups of VO-admins of the main four experiments:

• project-lcg-vo-alice-admin@cernNOSPAMPLEASE.ch
• project-lcg-vo-atlas-admin@cernNOSPAMPLEASE.ch
• project-lcg-vo-cms-admin@cernNOSPAMPLEASE.ch
• project-lcg-vo-lhcb-admin@cernNOSPAMPLEASE.ch

It's also useful to set a date for the migration to get things going, e.g. a couple of week after upgrading the testing cluster.
The upgrade on production needs to be announced on the SSB and the C5 (via SNOW).
