LCMS installation / migration update

New LCMS template implementation - Installation of new LCMS V3.2 done by Sungard remotely. Test of new LCMS system underway by Web Services. Application will be on separate machines; separation of content(Documentum) and LCMS/Site Studio. Will also have a "test" and a "production" area.

Migration plan is to take existing Web sites, move each one-on-one site moved into the new LCMS.

Joe - Standardizing element names, etc. underway.

Linux / Apache load balanced web server

Transitioning from several to one web standard server; load balancing solution; Apache, Linux,... Applications moved as well; SETE, portal channels, etc.

Improvement: stability, flexibility, scalability, etc.

How to determine group membership in the new Red Hat LDAP

(ldap.memphis.edu)

ITD applications test on new Red Hat LDAP. Some limitations from Netscape LDAP: group and / or affiliation = one long string. New RedHat, structured differently; is an array of data rather than a string. New LDAP is secured too. If you need to test applications, Web Services will help / assist in needs to move into the new LDAP.

New Red Hat LDAP in production now. Netscape LDAP still in place at present; (directory.memphis.edu). Old to new LDAP will propagate to new LDAP.

LDAP Browser software - see http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~gawor/ldap/ .
