Release Notes

What's new

• Available for SL6/x86_64
• Argus 1.5 publish its GLUE2 information to BDII
• New Nagios probes available to monitor Argus 1.5

Installation and configuration

• Deployment documentation

Known issues

• When upgrading an previous (Argus 1.4) installation on SL5, you need to re-install Argus 1.5. This is due to an error in the Argus 1.4 post uninstall script

 yum upgrade
   (argus is upgraded...)
yum reinstall argus-pap argus-pdp argus-pep-server

• Under heavy load the Argus PEP Server (v1.5.1) does not always return a user mapping for a permitted operation, causing CREAM to throw an error and abort the job.
  • Workaround - disable the PDP responses caching mechanism in the PEP Server configuration.
    To disable the cache:
    1. edit /etc/argus/pepd/pepd.ini
    2. add the parameter 'maximumCachedResponses = 0' in the [PDP] section (see example below)
    3. restart PEP Server: /etc/init.d/argus-pepd restart
  • Example:
    [PDP]
pdps = https://chaos.switch.ch:8152/authz
# disabling the cache
maximumCachedResponses = 0
