• Nov 5, 2021

  • How do we prevent spam blocker

    • We used a google group support-group@developer.ucsb.edu, because it doesn’t have a spam blocker.

  • How to share the support login email

    • Maybe we could change the MFA to use a shared token that we could store in Secret Server

    • We set the recovery email to support-group@developer.ucsb.edu

  • in admin emails - use the support-group@developer.ucsb.edu email instead of the admin drupal group

    • https://ucsb-atlas.atlassian.net/browse/CMPRCWA-145

  • Site Module Updates

    • Elda’s gonna take this on

    • https://ucsb-atlas.atlassian.net/browse/CMPRCWA-143

API stats

• Yaheya requested overall count of API available from Apigee devised by different units. There is a discussion on a middle ware for OFC, so Yaheya wants to show them we have Apigee and it can serve as a middleware.

  • https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zzJahBMSxr2c19fxgtl7N9kjZDouZnpt2W9-KE0Za7s/edit#gid=0

Splunk reports

Meeting and group focus year 2021

• Project focus

  • Resolve site issues after Drupal 8 migration

  • Transition the site to Elda’s team for maintenance

  • Drupal 9 migration

  • Front page redesign

  • AWS - migrate the Heroku code and the sql server database

  • Account cleanup automation

  • Identity integration and automation 

• Apigee Support

  • 1 FTE on the apigee team to help with student development oversight and support

  • Now the students have to contact so many groups to have their accounts setup, an FTE can really help with that. Adding the functionality to developer.ucsb.edu to create accounts.

    • Drupal - OK to work with a student

    • For other projects like identity account creation and others it will be difficult to work with a student
