  • Did one final proof read of my quickstart guide before burning it to CD
  • Watched an interesting video on software development concepts
  • Looking in to fully integrating Visibility with PKI to remove the log in screens
    • Technically it is pretty straightforward to grab the user’s cert and get their SID and userDN
    • The hard part is the migration from the current user tables (one for PPM and one for Visibility) to using userDNs and linking permissions, etc.
    • The easiest thing may be to add a new column to the database, userDN, and when they log in, if userDN is null, set it and use it for look ups in the future.  All users would be created the same way as they are now then log in once and use PKI forever after.
  • Loaded Dong’s updates on my CD as well
  • I will head to fort this afternoon and deploy the following:
    • Quickstart HTML
    • Update to PPA HTML
    • Update to PPA help button
    • Update to VisibilityScripting script engine which will resolve some issues regarding packet too large errors
  • I will also do the normal backups
  • Will create the final table and view for the demo tomorrow: the historic look at project statuses
  • Hopefully will be able to meet with Sherri and show her the view
