RE: Cosign Site Survey

[James J. <ja...@ri...>]

A) In what ways does your site use cosign? Examples include "production",
"evaluation", etc. Please include all uses of cosign at your institution
that you are aware of.

Production

B) Please estimate the total number of cosign users in your deployment.

5350, although not all have activated their account.
2250 who have activated their account, but not all use cosign on a regular
basis.

The cosign is tied into our active directory so the 2250 have gone through
cosign at least once to activate their AD account so they can log into the
network, but there is no guarantee they check email or use other services
requiring cosign.

C) Please estimate the total number of distinct services ( service cookie
names ) protected by cosign.

1

We are working towards the single sign on, so there is only one service
right now. Currently, we have 5271 students behind a cosign protected
implementation of IMP w/ cyrus backend.  We use cosign to create an
autologin into WebCT for students and faculty.  Cosign is also protecting
access to user account maintenance pages, some instructor protected pages,
and soon library remote access.

D) Please estimate the total number of people with cosign expertise at your
site.

1 (although considering myself an expert is funny)

E) Please give a brief description of any local cosign modifications you are
maintaining.

The error codes returned by MIT KRB5 on Debian don't match those coded into
the daemon for a password mismatch or unknown user so I've modified those to
return more user-friendly errors.

F) Please give a brief description of where you work/who you work for at
your institution ( multiple responses from the same instituion are great,
the more data the better )
