FY09Q1

IPv6

11/19/2008

Data Network Engineering reports that they will begin investing in IPv6 effective FY11Q1.  It is not clear what modification(s) to our architecture and applications will need to happen to take advantage of this.

Resolution:
In speaking with Eric Cronise (NCS CCDAT representative) we believe that deploying the IPv6 protocol on the campus backbone network will not have a negative impact on our current applications and infrastructure.

Customers that want to use IPv6 in their local area networks will need to first arrange connectivity to the IPv6-enabled campus backbone.  There are a variety of connection options and choosing the appropriate option will depend on the customers requirements. Additional services that may be required are DHCPv6, DNSv6, and 6to4 gateways.  CIT needs to decide if and how they will support these IPv6 services.  Plans to make IPv6 available to customer networks as a service would need to address these issues.  Since the full capability to support IPv6 isn't planned until FY11Q1 we believe there is ample time to work these issues out.

FY09Q1

CUSSP

11/24/2008

Identity Management lists CUSSP (the libraries and/or protocol) as moving to an unsupported state as of FY11Q1.   CUSSP has a dependency on Kerberos 4 (though it also supports Kerberos 5 in certain implementations) which they have listed as being unsupported effective FY09Q3.
Resolution:
Steve Edgar has informed me that the CUSSP libraries will live on utilizing K5 capabilities previously built in to the libraries.   Thus, it is possible to continue supporting CUSSP even after K4 is turned off.

FY09Q1

cusspclient

11/24/09 2008

ATSUS Customer Service lists that they will be moving to "unsupported" status with respect to their use of cusspclient effective FY11Q3.    This product depends on Kerberos 4 which Identity Management has being unsupported effective FY09Q3.

Resolution:
Steve Edgar has informed me that JP Brannan will be supplied with a K5 version of cusspclient that will allow JP's applications to continue working even after K4 has been turned off.
