endpoints of the Authorization Service API. It provides a REST interface for querying and managing groups and their members, which can optionally be synchronised to and from E-Groups.</p> <h2 id="facts">Facts</h2> <p>Currently, in E-Groups it's possible to create a group with a mixed case name i.e aaAAaa-AAaaAA.</p> <p>In GMS, only lowercase characters are allowed, meaning that any newly added group either directly to GMS or synced from e-groups will intentionally be switched to fully lowercase. The purpose of this convention is to add an extra layer of safety to our database entries.</p> <p><em>Please note that some older groups have been synced before enforcing the above convention in GMS, therefore they were not affected by this transition.</em> </p> <h2 id="possible-issues">Possible issues</h2> <p>The status of our services as described above has presented drawbacks for some of our users. In case a certain system aggregates data both from GMS and LDAP sources, this will result in inconsistencies regarding naming.</p> <h2 id="solution">Solution</h2> <p>Advice towards our users who develop the systems and are in need of the above mechanism would be to implement a case-insensitive comparison. In this way each system is properly prepared to handle this convention logic, comparing just the name itself, ignoring cases.</p> <h2 id="sync-times">Sync times</h2> <h3 id="creation-in-gms">Creation in GMS</h3> <p>In this scenario the user creates a group at: <a href="https://groups-portal.web.cern.ch/">https://groups-portal.web.cern.ch/</a></p> <p>The table below shows the sync time for each type of application.</p> <table> <thead> <tr> <th>Application</th> <th>Sync time (maximum)</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>E-group</td> <td>30-60 minutes</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Active Directory</td> <td>10-(?) minutes *</td> </tr> <tr> <td>SSO Token</td> <td>15 minutes**</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <h3 id="creation-in-e-groups">Creation in E-groups</h3> <p>In this scenario the user creates an E-group at: <a href="https://e-groups.cern.ch/">https://e-groups.cern.ch/</a></p> <p>The table below shows the sync time for each type of application.</p> <table> <thead> <tr> <th>Application</th> <th>Sync time (maximum)</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>GMS</td> <td>20-60 minutes</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Active Directory</td> <td>10-(?) minutes *</td> </tr> <tr> <td>SSO Token</td> <td>GMS sync + 15 minutes**</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <ul> <li><code>*</code> The sync to Active Directory is indeterminate and depends on the sync queue and group size.
