NAME
wmsclient: NCM component to configure gLite WMS and EDG RB clients
DESCRIPTION
The ncm-wmsclient component manages the configuration file of gLite WMS (both LB/NB and WMProxy interfaces) and EDG RB clients command line interface. It creates both the site default variables and per VO configuration files.
Part of the configuration information used by this component comes from /system/vo/VONAME/services.
EDG RB
information (legacy) is directly under this configuration path, gLite WMS configuration is under /system/vo/VONAME/services/wms.
Both share the same structure too.
RESOURCES
wmsclient supports both gLite WMS with NS/LB interface or WMProxy interface and EDG RB. Information resources to describe all have the same structure. There must be one for each variant to configure. Supported MW variants are 'edg', 'glite' and 'wmproxy'.
/software/components/wmsclient/MW
_VARIANT/active
Set to true to configure this WMS/RB variant.
Default : true (for a present variant).
/software/components/wmsclient/MW
_VARIANT/basedir
The base directory to use for generating VO-specific configuration
file. It defaults to EDG_LOCATION/etc (or /opt/edg/etc
if EDG_LOCATION
is not defined) for EDG RB, and to GLITE_LOCATION/etc (or /opt/glite/etc
if GLITE_LOCATION
is not defined) for gLite WMS.
/software/components/wmsclient/MW
_VARIANT/defaultAttrs
Set of properties and resources allowing to override default values for WMS/RB default ClassAds files. To know the exact set of supported properties, look at ncm-wmsclient schema. To be taken into account, a property must be listed in the template file for default ClassAds.
Default values should be appropriate.
VO specific configuration
VO specific configuration is under /system/vo
configuration path. There is one entry per VO. In the resource for
each VO, this component uses the items described below. Except for VO full name, information is under 'services'
for EDG RB and under 'services/wms' for gLite WMS.
/system/vo
/*/name
The official name of the VO.
Default : none.
services/lbhosts (required)
The list of logging and bookkeeping servers for this VO. (Usually the same as the resource broker list). If not present, configuration of WMS/RB client for this VO is ignored.
Default : none.
services/nshosts
The list of network server hosts (i.e. resource brokers) for this VO. It is a required property for EDG RB and for gLite WMS with NS/LB interface ('glite' variant). They are ignored for 'wmproxy'.
Default : none.
services/wmproxies ('wmproxy' only, required)
The list of gLite WMS proxy endpoints for this VO. It is a required property for gLite WMS and it is not supported for EDG RB.
Default : none.
services/myproxy (optional)
The myproxy server to use for this VO.
Default : none.
services/hlr (optional)
The HLR (accounting) server to use for this VO.
Default : none.
DEPENDENCIES
None.
