* Convert every string specifying a DN into a DN object
* Every place a dn was manipulated in some fashion it was replaced by
the use of DN operators
* Add new DNParam parameter type for parameters which are DN's
* DN objects are used 100% of the time throughout the entire data
pipeline whenever something is logically a dn.
* Many classes now enforce DN usage for their attributes which are
dn's. This is implmented via ipautil.dn_attribute_property(). The
only permitted types for a class attribute specified to be a DN are
either None or a DN object.
* Require that every place a dn is used it must be a DN object.
This translates into lot of::
assert isinstance(dn, DN)
sprinkled through out the code. Maintaining these asserts is
valuable to preserve DN type enforcement. The asserts can be
disabled in production.
The goal of 100% DN usage 100% of the time has been realized, these
asserts are meant to preserve that.
The asserts also proved valuable in detecting functions which did
not obey their function signatures, such as the baseldap pre and
post callbacks.
* Moved ipalib.dn to ipapython.dn because DN class is shared with all
components, not just the server which uses ipalib.
* All API's now accept DN's natively, no need to convert to str (or
unicode).
* Removed ipalib.encoder and encode/decode decorators. Type conversion
is now explicitly performed in each IPASimpleLDAPObject method which
emulates a ldap.SimpleLDAPObject method.
* Entity & Entry classes now utilize DN's
* Removed __getattr__ in Entity & Entity clases. There were two
problems with it. It presented synthetic Python object attributes
based on the current LDAP data it contained. There is no way to
validate synthetic attributes using code checkers, you can't search
the code to find LDAP attribute accesses (because synthetic
attriutes look like Python attributes instead of LDAP data) and
error handling is circumscribed. Secondly __getattr__ was hiding
Python internal methods which broke class semantics.
* Replace use of methods inherited from ldap.SimpleLDAPObject via
IPAdmin class with IPAdmin methods. Directly using inherited methods
was causing us to bypass IPA logic. Mostly this meant replacing the
use of search_s() with getEntry() or getList(). Similarly direct
access of the LDAP data in classes using IPAdmin were replaced with
calls to getValue() or getValues().
* Objects returned by ldap2.find_entries() are now compatible with
either the python-ldap access methodology or the Entity/Entry access
methodology.
* All ldap operations now funnel through the common
IPASimpleLDAPObject giving us a single location where we interface
to python-ldap and perform conversions.
* The above 4 modifications means we've greatly reduced the
proliferation of multiple inconsistent ways to perform LDAP
operations. We are well on the way to having a single API in IPA for
doing LDAP (a long range goal).
* All certificate subject bases are now DN's
* DN objects were enhanced thusly:
- find, rfind, index, rindex, replace and insert methods were added
- AVA, RDN and DN classes were refactored in immutable and mutable
variants, the mutable variants are EditableAVA, EditableRDN and
EditableDN. By default we use the immutable variants preserving
important semantics. To edit a DN cast it to an EditableDN and
cast it back to DN when done editing. These issues are fully
described in other documentation.
- first_key_match was removed
- DN equalty comparison permits comparison to a basestring
* Fixed ldapupdate to work with DN's. This work included:
- Enhance test_updates.py to do more checking after applying
update. Add test for update_from_dict(). Convert code to use
unittest classes.
- Consolidated duplicate code.
- Moved code which should have been in the class into the class.
- Fix the handling of the 'deleteentry' update action. It's no longer
necessary to supply fake attributes to make it work. Detect case
where subsequent update applies a change to entry previously marked
for deletetion. General clean-up and simplification of the
'deleteentry' logic.
- Rewrote a couple of functions to be clearer and more Pythonic.
- Added documentation on the data structure being used.
- Simplfy the use of update_from_dict()
* Removed all usage of get_schema() which was being called prior to
accessing the .schema attribute of an object. If a class is using
internal lazy loading as an optimization it's not right to require
users of the interface to be aware of internal
optimization's. schema is now a property and when the schema
property is accessed it calls a private internal method to perform
the lazy loading.
* Added SchemaCache class to cache the schema's from individual
servers. This was done because of the observation we talk to
different LDAP servers, each of which may have it's own
schema. Previously we globally cached the schema from the first
server we connected to and returned that schema in all contexts. The
cache includes controls to invalidate it thus forcing a schema
refresh.
* Schema caching is now senstive to the run time context. During
install and upgrade the schema can change leading to errors due to
out-of-date cached schema. The schema cache is refreshed in these
contexts.
* We are aware of the LDAP syntax of all LDAP attributes. Every
attribute returned from an LDAP operation is passed through a
central table look-up based on it's LDAP syntax. The table key is
the LDAP syntax it's value is a Python callable that returns a
Python object matching the LDAP syntax. There are a handful of LDAP
attributes whose syntax is historically incorrect
(e.g. DistguishedNames that are defined as DirectoryStrings). The
table driven conversion mechanism is augmented with a table of
hard coded exceptions.
Currently only the following conversions occur via the table:
- dn's are converted to DN objects
- binary objects are converted to Python str objects (IPA
convention).
- everything else is converted to unicode using UTF-8 decoding (IPA
convention).
However, now that the table driven conversion mechanism is in place
it would be trivial to do things such as converting attributes
which have LDAP integer syntax into a Python integer, etc.
* Expected values in the unit tests which are a DN no longer need to
use lambda expressions to promote the returned value to a DN for
equality comparison. The return value is automatically promoted to
a DN. The lambda expressions have been removed making the code much
simpler and easier to read.
* Add class level logging to a number of classes which did not support
logging, less need for use of root_logger.
* Remove ipaserver/conn.py, it was unused.
* Consolidated duplicate code wherever it was found.
* Fixed many places that used string concatenation to form a new
string rather than string formatting operators. This is necessary
because string formatting converts it's arguments to a string prior
to building the result string. You can't concatenate a string and a
non-string.
* Simplify logic in rename_managed plugin. Use DN operators to edit
dn's.
* The live version of ipa-ldap-updater did not generate a log file.
The offline version did, now both do.

Have the test suite check error messages.
Since XMLRPC doesn't give us structured error information, just
compare the resulting text.
Fix messages that tests expect to cause.
Minor changes:
Make netgroup-mod's NotFound message consistent with other objects
and methods.
In test_automember_plugin, test with nonexistent automember rules
of both types, instead of nonexistent users.

We need an indicator to see if a keytab has been set on host and
service entries. We also need a way to know if a one-time password is
set on a host.
This adds an ACI that grants search on userPassword and
krbPrincipalKey so we can do an existence search on them. This way
we can tell if the attribute is set and create a fake attribute
accordingly.
When a userPassword is set on a host a keytab is generated against
that password so we always set has_keytab to False if a password
exists. This is fine because when keytab gets generated for the
host the password is removed (hence one-time).
This adds has_keytab/has_password to the user, host and service plugins.

We have a larger goal of replacing all DN creation via string
formatting/concatenation with DN object operations because string
operations are not a safe way to form a DN nor to compare a DN. This
work needs to be broken into smaller chunks for easier review and
testing.
Addressing the unit tests first makes sense because we don't want to
be modifying both the core code and the tests used to verify the core
code simultaneously. If we modify the unittests first with existing
core code and no regressions are found then we can move on to
modifying parts of the core code with the belief the unittests can
validate the changes in the core code. Also by doing the unittests
first we also help to validate the DN objects are working correctly
(although they do have an extensive unittest).
The fundamental changes are:
* replace string substitution & concatenation with DN object
constructor
* when comparing dn's the comparision is done after promotion
to a DN object, then two DN objects are compared
* when a list of string dn's are to be compared a new list is
formed where each string dn is replaced by a DN object
* because the unittest framework accepts a complex data structure of
expected values where dn's are represeted as strings the unittest
needs to express the expected value of a dn as a callable object
(e.g. a lambda expression) which promotes the dn string to a DN
object in order to do the comparision.
Add a new command that lets you wait for an attribute to appear in
a value. Using this you can do things like wait for a managed entry
to be created, adding a new objectclass to the parent entry.
This is controlled by a new booleon option, wait_for_attr, defaulting
to False.

We collected the failures but didn't report it back. This changes the
API of most delete commands so rather than returning a boolean it returns
a dict with the only current key as failed.
This also adds a new parameter flag, suppress_empty. This will try to
not print values that are empty if included. This makes the output of
the delete commands a bit prettier.
ticket 687
The changes include:
* Change license blobs in source files to mention GPLv3+ not GPLv2 only
* Add GPLv3+ license text
* Package COPYING not LICENSE as the license blobs (even the old ones)
mention COPYING specifically, it is also more common, I think
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/239
This also requires a resolvable hostname on services as well. I want
people to think long and hard about adding things that aren't resolvable.
The cert plugin can automatically create services on the user's behalf when
issuing a cert. It will always set the force flag to True.
We use a lot of made-up host names in the test system, all of which require
the force flag now.
ticket #25
The attributes displayed is now dependant upon their definition in
a Param. This enhances that, giving some level of control over how
the result is displayed to the user.
This also fixes displaying group membership, including failures of
adding/removing entries.
All tests pass now though there is still one problem. We need to
return the dn as well. Once that is fixed we just need to comment
out all the dn entries in the tests and they should once again
pass.
ipaObject is defined as an auxiliary objectclass so it is up to the
plugin author to ensure that the objectclass is included an a UUID generated.
ipaUniqueId is a MUST attribute so if you include the objectclass you must
ensure that the uuid is generated.
This also fixes up some unrelated unit test failures.
If we use cn for hostname there is no easy way to distinguish between
a host and a hostgroup. So adding a fqdn attribute to be used to store
the hostname instead.
Tied the make-test script into the test target of the top-level Makefile
Added code to xmlrpc_test.py so that it configures the API if it isn't
already done which enables individual tests to be executed.
