PID Generation Bean

• Users need a means by which to select a PID

1. Ability to look up a person's PID given their UID
2. Ability to generate a list of potential PIDs for a given user
   • must be temporarily reserved on behalf of the user for 10 minutes
3. Ability to set a person's PID given:
   • person's UID
   • requested PID
     • may or may not come from the provided list
   • PID shelve date
   • whether this person agreed to the AUP
   • whether the PID should be created in an active state
     • a non-active account is created in the LOCKED state
4. Person must have an allowed PID Generation Affiliation to generate a PID
5. Person must have an allowed Email Generation Affiliation to generate an email account
6. PIDs must meet the PID Requirements
7. PIDs set for revokable people must be assigned a shelve date upon creation
   • shelve date must be in the future
8. PIDs set for employees must be suppressed
   • employees may unsuppress their PID later
9. Any unused reserved PIDs should be unreserved

1. Must be implemented as a clustered stateless session bean.
2. All methods must accept UIDs as input, not UUPIDs.
3. Methods must be exposed as web services.

PIDs are suggested using the following person data:

• First Name (fname)
• Initial of Middle Name (minitial)
• Initial of Last Name (linitial)
• 2 Digit Birth Year (byear)
• 2 Digit Current Year (cyear)

PIDs are suggested in the following order, based on availability and validity:

1. linitial + 7 chars of fname
2. minitial + linitial + 6 chars of fname
3. 7 chars of fname + linitial
4. 6 chars of fname + minitial + linitial
5. 8 chars of fname
6. linitial + 5 chars of fname + cyear
7. minitial + linitial + 4 chars of fname + cyear
8. 5 chars of fname + linitial + cyear
9. 4 chars of fname + minitial + linitial + cyear
10. 6 chars of fname + cyear
11. linitial + 5 chars of fname + byear
12. minitial + linitial + 4 chars of fname + byear
13. 5 chars of fname + linitial + byear
14. 4 chars of fname + minitial + linitial + byear
15. 6 chars of fname + byear
16. linitial + 6 chars of fname + digits 1 thru 9
17. minitial + linitial + 5 chars of fname + digits 1 thru 9
18. 6 chars of fname + linitial + digits 1 thru 9
19. 5 chars of fname + minitial + linitial + digits 1 thru 9
20. 7 chars of fname + digits 1 thru 9
