Labwiki assumes that GENI Portal username is the same as iRODS username

[johren@bbn.com]

Labwiki uses the GENI Portal username to access iRODS. While the GENI Portal tries to get the same username from iRODS, it is not always possible if the username is already taken. In this case, it appends a number to the end. We need to have a way to map the iRODS username to the GENI Portal username.

Opened ticket #937 with the Portal developers to add the iRODS username and zone to the openID payload. Requested to have this available sometime in January.

The portal update today (1/15) includes the ability to ask the GENI Portal for the iRODS username and zone. These are the URLs:

• To receive iRODS username ask for ​http://geni.net/irods/username
• To receive iRODS zone ask for ​http://geni.net/irods/zone

Please try this out and make sure it functions as needed for Labwiki.

Confirm that irods info can be retrieved via openid correctly.

e.g. ..."​http://geni.net/irods/username"=>geni-jackhon?, "​http://geni.net/irods/zone"=>geniRenci?

I tried this on port 4609 and noticed that it did use my registered username geni-johren1 rather than geni-johren.

The only thing that I'm not able to do is create new files. I'm not sure if that is related to this item or if this is a different bug.
