Proxy Credential Auditing

Developing a system to allow proxy credential usage to be tracked and audited within the NGS grid stack.

Install

1. Checkout PCA.
2. Install a stable version of MongoDB. 1.6+
3. Install the bundler gem.
4. Run bundle install in the root of the PCA checkout to install the required gems.

Running

To run the service in test mode:

1. Seed the database using rake db:seed
2. Start the service with rails server
3. Browse to http://localhost:3000

Testing

The application uses RSpec for testing. To run all the tests use.

rake spec

Ideally do not use JRuby for this as it, as of 1.5.3, is much slower than MRI or YARV for running tests.

Production

The primary focus is on deployment as a WAR via JRuby. If you have not been using JRuby perform the following.

1. Install JRuby
2. Install the bundler gem.
3. Run bundle install

Then:

1. Run rake war in the root of PCA.
2. Deploy the pca.war to your preferred Java application server.
