Sebb commented on WHIMSY-113:
-----------------------------
Agreed; I think we already have all the karma needed.
Apart from LDAP, the Infra process also updates new-account-reqs.txt and
iclas.txt but we already have karma for that, and Whimsy already has the
tooling to add LDAP people records to various LDAP groups.
It's only the creation of LDAP people records that needs to be tested and then
added to the appropriate Whimsy tooling.
[~cml] One question please: it looks like the Infra code generates a temporary
password for the initial LDAP record. This is not returned to the user; instead
they have to reset their password via id.apache.org.
Since the initial password is not used, is there a value that means invalid
password? I have seen '{CRYPT}*' used elsewhere, but have been unable to find
what it means.

> Currently most new account requests are made by the secretary, with the
> remainder by PMC chairs and ASF members. These requests are made by whimsy
> forms and result in a file created in svn that is processed, generally daily,
> by infrastructure staff.
> The new process envisioned is that the secretary will create new accounts
> directly; and that new account requests will be sent via email to secretary@
> and processed by the secretary workbench. Generally, processing of such
> requests should be at most a few mouse clicks, though an opportunity will be
> provided to tweak such things a public names and to verify that a proper vote
> link was provided.
