The Whimsy PMC would be very grateful if some volunteers from the JMeter PMC could help with testing a new setup for LDAP groups.
This would involve some short tests to check if access for commit and lists.apache.org still works OK. The current plan is to test the change on Tuesday. We need to test the following combinations: PMC member + ASF member ======================= (I can do that, but others are welcome to help) PMC member but not ASF member, i.e. ============================== Antonio Gomes Rodrigues Philippe Mouawad Peter Lin For this group, we need to test access to the private@jmeter mailing list via lists.apache.org. Can one or more of you confirm whether you have access currently? i.e. can you access https://lists.apache.org/list.html?priv...@jmeter.apache.org If you don't log in, you should get an error message. But if you do login (using your normal LDAP password, as used for SVN) you should be able to see the list. When the changes have been made, we need to see if you can still access the private list. Also, can you access the PMC-private SVN area: https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/pmc/jmeter/ Committer but not ASF member, i.e. =========================== Mikhail Epikhin Maxime Chassagneux Deepak Shetty Andrey Pokhilko Vladimir Sitnikov For the last group, it would be helpful if someone could join Sam Ruby on a HipChat channel on Tuesday (US time, so afternoon or evening for people closer to Europe). I'm not sure if all of you have updated any files in SVN yet. Ideally we need to know if you can do so before any changes are made. If you want to try out SVN, there is a test tree here: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jmeter/test ------------------------------- Obviously the hope is that the changes won't affect access in any way. If everything has been updated correctly, you should not notice any difference in behaviour, and you won't need to change your account or the way you work. If you want to ask questions about the changes and the test, please use the dev@whimsical mailing list. ------------------------------- What is being changed? ================== Currently, access to PMC resources is controlled using two separate LDAP groups - one for PMC members and one for committers. Each has a single list of members. The proposed arrangement is to use a single LDAP group. This has a list of members who are the committers, and a list of owners who are the PMC members. This change obviously affects the processes that grant access based on the LDAP groups to which an id belongs, so we need to test that things still work when LDAP is updated.
