Let me start this email by saying that it's *not* a joke (despite April 1st date) :-)

As announced, we turned today https://accounts.centos.org into Read-Only mode , so that we were sure that nothing would change (frozen state) wrt users status and group membership, while all services continued to be usable (including for example https://cbs.centos.org)

Mark O'Brien and myself then kicked the fas2ipa script, to ensure that it would have enough time to parse the CentOS accounts and groups as first sanity check.

Number of users: 1097 Number of groups: 31

But we found a particular case for people who were registered in both FAS and ACO , with different nickname *but* same email address, so the script failed to import these users (81 accounts)

The taken action was to send a mail to concerned users so that they can decide which solution they want to adopt :

Basically, either consolidating centos group membership on their FAS account (and so using their FAS account for both projects) *or* update their email address so that the fas2ipa script would be able to import them (but that would mean two different accounts in same auth platform) . We'll take action on case-by-case through email feedback for these users.

All in all it seems that it went ok for the sanity check tests and that means that it's green light for the real infra switch on Tuesday April 6th.

PS : quite some users were in SKIPPED state, as they never took action for the "email address match for same nickname" situation, explained in previous email (https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2021-March/076690.html)

Kind Regards,
