SSO

• Merged changes from Kelcloak beta10 update
• Tested/fixed issues in new qdr_oidc_sso module, added updates to github
• Explored back-channel logout options, initial tests of using one client per app

Drupal

• Update private_files_downlad_permission and poll modules on dev/stage

Dataverse

• Created direct upload checksum PR and DVWebloader PR
• Investigated dev failures due to storJ outage, added code to avoid a null pointer when logging the error

Operations

• Investigated stage failures due to limited swap space. Rebooted server and restarted services as needed. Checked operation after swap space increase and restarted the annorep server after reported problem.

Discussion

• By default, links on stage are now underlined. This leaves some still w/o underline: Dataverse facets, some of the Drupal contents managed by the theme. From here , I can either add underlines for those, leave things as is, or remove underlines in more places that don't have the accessibility issue
• In the meeting with DataCite, we came to a consensus that their current script is primarily targeting very simple repositories and that supporting Dataverse well would take some work on their part or ours. The next step is a meeting with their developer to convey more details about our use cases and how they might adapt their current script and API to help.

Plans

• SSO - continue to explore/build OIDC options
  • Continue to investigate SSO options, particularly handling logout and restoring cross-links between DV and Drupal
  • Investigate Keycloak to LDAP connection for new users, ability to handle registration, replace LDAP, etc.
  • Investigate ways to simplify user interface (multiple clicks to get through Keycloak)
• Matomo - help with transition from Google
• AnnoRep - explore round-trip, configure auto-start and log rotation
• Dataverse
  • Make PR for accessibility fix (once finalized)
  • Make PR for guestbook adding datasetversion fix, deploy to stage
  • Continue towards guestbook at request based on ADA's original work
  • Popup info accessibility - IQSS likes the recommendations from the source I linked to, so this can be implemented along those lines.
• Drupal - v10 - review compatibility and start updates.
• QDAS Previewer
  • Updates per request
  • Investigate writing aux file/previewing lower-sensitivity version and/or other write options
• TBD: FRDR Security
