Meeting between Derek, Mike and Ray Miller (OUCS)

• Sorted out the correct key tab for Derek to connect Oxford LionShare test to the Oxford Kerberos / LDAP
• Not ‘public’ LDAP function within Oxford but we somehow(?) were allowed to connect for 3 months
• Oxford LDAP scoops up info from a number of systems around the university
• REAL culture problem when talking to OUCS about this level of integration. Derek could talk the right language which was significant in that you need a network admin / security tribe member to do this stuff.
