1 [[!meta title="SIPB AFS-Moira Synchronizer"]]
3 The SIPB AFS-Moira Synchronizer allows SIPB cell AFS groups to be
4 automatically synchronized with a related Moira group by adding the
5 Moira list to the Moira list <tt>sipb-afs-sync</tt>. In theory,
6 this should eliminate most of the need to contact
7 <tt>sipb-afsreq</tt> in order to control ACLs for SIPB project
8 lockers (requests to <tt>sipb-afsreq</tt> are still necessary to get
12 Suppose you have a Moira list <tt>super-project</tt> that you
13 want synchronized with the <tt>sipb.mit.edu</tt> cell so that you
14 can use it as the ACL in the <tt>sipb.mit.edu</tt> AFS cell. To set
15 it up to by synchronized, you first need to make sure that
16 <tt>super-project</tt> is flagged as an AFS group in Moira (so that
17 there is a corresponding <tt>athena.mit.edu</tt> cell group), and
18 add <tt>super-project</tt> to the <tt>sipb-afs-sync</tt> list, as
21 blanche super-project -G
22 blanche sipb-afs-sync -a super-project
24 The membership of the AFS group <tt>system:super-project</tt>
25 will then be copied from the <tt>athena.mit.edu</tt> cell into the
26 <tt>sipb.mit.edu</tt> cell, creating the group if necessary, and
27 creating sipb cell PTS entries for any Kerberos principals as
30 Currently, the synchronization is run in a cron job that updates
31 every 15 minutes. Certain special groups (like
32 system:administrators) are in a blacklist that will not be
33 synchronized. If you want to change the blacklist status of a
34 group, contact <tt>sipb-afsreq</tt>.
