At line 36 added 11 lines.
+ *** Noted that Metacat identifies metadata and data separately while SRB uses same id for both
+ *** Client works, can use to upload
+ *** Still need to know which system you are using so you use the API correctly
+ **** Bing says this can be fixed on the client side
+ *** Reviewed auth interface -- login, logout, genereates sessionid
+ **** Eventually need to move to SSL for all services so that the communication is secure
+ ***** Or use the GSI security layer
+ **** how does this have to change to accomodate certificates?
+ ***** once we have certificates, the ldap user DNs can be shared across systems (e.g., SRB, Metacat)
+ **** Need to modify get and query interfaces to accept sessionId to allow for access to private records
+ ***** need to allow anonymous query for some systems, should anonomous query and get use a different method or pass in a special userid (e.g., "public")
At line 42 added 5 lines.
+ # Jing: test and install put and auth interfaces for metacat on ecoinfo2
+ # Modify get and query interfaces to accept sessionId to allow for access to private records
+ ** Jing will enter a bug describing this
+ # Bing will continue registry design and implementation
+ # Mark Servilla will forward info to James and Michelle and they will let us know about a future call to discuss certificates and GSI
Removed line 44
