The upgrade is complete, auth.opensolaris.org is up and all user
accounts have been migrated from the current live database.
This release introduces two main features that we'd like the community
to help us test:
1. SCA management
To view your SCA information, follow the 'Agreements' link from your
user account edit page. This data is only visible to you and the site
admins.
If you are a non-Sun employee you should see the details of any SCA that
we have on file for you.
If you are a Sun employee you can validate your employee status by
providing your full Sun email address and current SWAN LDAP password.
On submission your Sun employee ID will be displayed as the 'Reference'
field of your registration. Following your registration, at 11:00am UTC
your employment start date will be obtained from Sun's HR database and
inserted into the 'Start date' field of your agreement, so if you check
back after that time you should see it in there.
Note that the connection to the back-end authentication service
sometimes times out and you'll get an error message. We'll increase the
timeout in the next deployment but for now if you retry you should
eventually get authenticated.
Note that the only data we retain for Sun employees is the Sunid and
start/end dates, your email and LDAP password are only used to
authenticate against the back-end identity service and are then discarded.
2. Localization
The Auth user interface is localized into English, Japanese, Brazilian
Portuguese and Russian. At present you need to set your browser's
language preferences to see the alternate localization. In future we'll
set your language on login to your account preference, and we'll be
adding a per-session 'language chooser' to the next version. Note that
a few of the fields haven't yet been localized, they will be completed
in a subsequent release.
If you find any issues, please let us know via mail to website-discuss.
Thanks,
