Testing MN Management

• Change node's primary MNDeployment ticket status to Testing.

• Identity Management:

  • Confirm what nodeID will be used.
  • Register NCEAS LDAP (https://identity.nceas.ucsb.edu/) because cert download auth is maintained by separate system.
  • Use Use cilogon to generate a DataONE LDAP account by logging into DataONE test env. (Sign-in link at https://search-stage.test.dataone.org)

• DataONE Certificate:

  • Request in #CI for a sandbox or stage D1 certificate generated available to NCEAS uid.
  • Cert/key downloaded by node operator.

For a custom implementation of DataONE APIs as new service:

• MN implements full scope of Member Node APIs.
• API methods systematically verified by D1 tech lead.
• Passes web tester checks (http://mncheck.test.dataone.org:8080)

For a DataONE Software Stack

• Install software, SSL cert, and DataONE cert per installation instructions.
• If using LE cert, schedule cron for renewal.
• Configure software as appropriate (baseURL, Node Contact Subject, replication, etc).

For a SlenderNode:

• Develop adapter.
• Fully test movement of data from source system to target MN software.
• Install on MN web server and schedule cron job. Verify cron is running as expected.

For both:
* Verify system metadata of test records. Ensure correct node URI value in auth/orig MN.
* Verify node description document. Ensure that Contact Subject is set to the DataONE LDAP identity string.
