Paper Proposal for RUC 2003

1. FLEXlm solution not there yet
2. Several domains
3. Interoperation
   • mapping the user accounts to avoid using multiple licenses
   • credmap server
4. LDAP base for identification
   • wrong assignations: area in which the cost center is based
5. Robustness. Various errors:
   • ssh errors: Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive).
   • clearlicense errors: albd_license_sid_stats call failed: RPC_TIMED_OUT
     clearlicense: Error: License usage error encountered for product ClearCase_view_only.
   • hosts failures:
     • ssh: connect to address 172.21.106.40 port 22: Connection timed out
     • permission denied
   • LDAP failures: Failed to get a handle to nedi01 at /home/mgirod/bin/account line 18.
   • script errors: Use of uninitialized value in printf at /home/mgirod/bin/account line 310.
6. Licenses over firewalls
7. Sub-contracting schemes
   • Discount
   • Leasing
