Implements the role, privilege, permission, delegation and selfservice entities ui.
Targetgroup has been added to the object types.
The groups lists need to be filter. The filter is currently hidden, with a
hyperlink that reads 'filter' to unhide it. Each keystroke in this filter
performs an AJAX request to the server.
There are bugs on the server side that block some of the functionality from
completing
Creating a Permission requires one of 4 target types. The add dialog in this
version assumes the user will want to create a filter type. They can change
this on the edit page.
Most search results come back with the values as arrays, but ACIs seem not to.
Search and details both required special code to handle non-arrays.
The unit tests now make use of the 'module' aspect of QUnit. This means that
future unit test will also need to specify the module. The advantage is that
multiple tests can share a common setup and teardown.
Bugs that need to be fixed before this works 100% are

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

The user details facet has been modified such that when the account
is activated/deactivated the page will be reloaded.
Some methods in the framework have been changed:
- The ipa_widget.clear() has been removed because it can be replaced
by existing reset().
- The ipa_widget.set_values() has been renamed into update().
The '+' and '-' signs before the section headers in details facet
are now enclosed in square brackets. The section content is now
hidden/shown using slideToggle().
The ipa_details_create() and ipa_details_setup() have been moved
into ipa_details_facet.
The SUDO rule details facet has been updated to support the latest UI
spec. The facet consists of 5 sections: general, users, hosts, commands,
and run-as.
The general section contains the SUDO rule description and status. If
the status is changed, the sudorule-enable/disable will be invoked.
The other sections contain radio buttons for the association category
and tables for the members. When a member is added or removed, the
category will be adjusted appropriately. If the category is changed to
'all', 'allow', or 'deny', all members will be removed.
The last section is currently not working because backend support is
not yet available.
The adder dialog boxes for users, groups, and hosts has been modified
to accept external identities. The layout for the base adder dialog
was updated. The base dialog class was updated to support templates.
The SUDO dialog boxes were implemented using templates. New CSS
classes were added to ipa.css.
The HBAC rule details facet has been updated as well.
The entity.default_facet has been removed, instead the first facet
registered to the entity will be considered as the default facet.
So, the 'setup' parameter has been removed from tab definitions
because it's no longer necessary. The ipa_details_only_setup() has
been removed as well.
An 'entity' parameter has been added to tab definitions to specify
which entity corresponds to a tab item. The tab label has been
changed to use entity label if available.
Some hard-coded labels have been removed. The unit tests have been
updated.
The ipa_add_dialog has been fixed to initialize the fields which
will get the labels from metadata. Hard-coded labels have been
removed from field declarations.
The superior() method has been removed because it doesn't work with
multi-level inheritance. Superclass method for now is called using
<class name>_<method> (e.g. widget_init).
The association facet for HBAC Service Groups has been removed
and replaced with an association table in the details page.
The ipa_association_table_widget has been modified to support
multiple columns in the table itself and in the adder dialog.
The ipa_association_adder_dialog and ipa_association_facet have
been refactored.
The ipa_sudorule_association_widget and ipa_rule_association_widget
has been removed because their functionalities have been merged into
ipa_association_table_widget.
Updated the user,group,host, hostgroup, netgroup, service, and all policy
entities to use the newer framework functions, in order to
replaced the old array style definitions which did not support i18n.
update a few of the newer framerwork functions to get the lables from the
meta data.
Fixed the unit tests which were expecting a details facet for users,
no longer automatically created
Previously the queries for action panel were done globally. Since each
entity container has its own action panel, the queries will return multiple
results. This is fixed by qualifying the query to run within the entity
container.
The query has also been moved into ipa_facet.get_action_panel(). Entities
that do not have their own entity container (e.g. HBAC services and service
groups) will need to override this method to get the action panel from the
right entity container (e.g. HBAC rules).
The facet.setup_views() has been renamed to facet.create_action_panel().
New test data for SUDO rules have been added.
The search and details pages for SUDO Rule have been added. Codes
that are shared with HBAC have been moved to rule.js.
The following methods were renamed for consistency:
- ipa_details_load() -> ipa_details_refresh()
- ipa_details_display() -> ipa_details_load()
The ipa_details_cache has been removed because the cache is now
stored in each widget.
The index.xhtml has been removed. All references to it has been
changed to index.html.
The Unselect All checkbox has been fixed. Unnecessary parameter
'container' has been removed.
The unit test has been updated and new test data has been added.
The service and host details pages have been modified to display Kerberos
key provisioning status and to provide a way to unprovision. The host
enrollment via OTP has not been implemented yet.
The ipa_details_field has been modified to remove any old <dd> tags it
created in the previous load operation. This is to support other widgets
that need to perform load operation without removing <dd> tags.
The certificate_status_panel has been converted into a widget. The host
entity has been rewritten using the new framework.
The unit tests has been updated.
The HBAC details page has been enhanced to support Undo and Reset operations.
The functionality is implemented in the base widget class so the behavior
will be more consistent across widgets. A <span> tag now used to define the
field boundary in the HTML doc. The tag contains the visual representation
of the field which include the input tag and optionally the undo link.
The Update method on HBAC details page has been modified so that it executes
several operations using a batch command. The operations being executed
depends on the changes made to the fields. These operations may include:
- removing access time if access time is changed to any time
- removing memberships if member category is changed to all
- modifying rule attributes if description or rule type is changed
- enabling/disabling the rule if rule status is changed
The behavior of the Add & Remove buttons also has been changed such that
it adjust the category attribute properly in addition to adding the
memberships using batch command. For example, if category is initially
set to all, adding a new member will also change the category to empty.
The ipa_command have been modified to store the on_success and on_error
handlers as properties. When the command is executed as a part of batch
operation, the result of each command will be passed to the appropriate
handler.
The unit tests and test data have been updated as well.
Closer to the layout from the spec
The facets have been moved to the action panel, to the left of the page
the facets are now rendered in an area of the screen with a client class
The HBAC Service search and details pages have been added under the HBAC
tab. This requires some changes to the framework.
Currently the navigation framework doesn't support multiple entities under
one tab. As a temporary solution, an 'entity' URL parameter is used to
determine the entity to be displayed. This parameter is now only used by
HBAC tab, but its use might be expanded later. The navigation framework
needs be redesigned to provide more flexibility.
The search page in all entities except DNS records have been changed to
use the ipa_search_widget. The Select/Unselect All checbox and Delete
button now work correctly and consistently.
The Add dialog has been enhanced to render and work in a more consistent
way while still supporting custom widgets & layouts. For the search page,
the Add button will refresh the search results and clear the fields in
the dialog box.
The framework now provides some extension points which can be overriden
by the subclasses:
- init(): for initialization and configuration
- create(): for creating the layout dynamically or from template
- setup(): for setting the look and feel
- load(): for loading the data
Entity and facet initialization is now done after IPA.init(). This is to
ensure the metadata is loaded first so the entities and facets can use
localized messages/labels/titles.
The group entity has been partially converted to use the new framework.
The unit tests have been updated accordingly.
if the field does not have a 'w' for writable in its rights, disable it.
Merged with the HBAC/Widget changes
add and remove links are managed via permissions now
The UI framework has been extended to include a collection of widgets:
- ipa_widget: base class
- ipa_text_widget: text field
- ipa_radio_widget: radio button
- ipa_textarea_widget: textarea
- ipa_button_widget: button
- ipa_column_widget: column for table
- ipa_table_widget: table
These widgets can be used to create input controls. They can also be
extended to create custom controls.
The framework has also been enhanced to support custom layouts. This
can be used to change the look of the application without changing
the code. Initially this is only available in details section.
Layout consists of a collection of HTML templates. Each template is a
complete and valid HTML file representing a portion of a page. The
template will be loaded and initialized by the code, then filled with
the data from the server. The layouts are located in
install/static/layouts/<name> folder.
By default, if no templates are used, the fields in the details page
are rendered vertically using dd/dt/dd tags. For pages that require
different layout, a custom UI needs to be developed. There are two ways
to do that:
- write a custom widget to generate the UI dynamically
- create an HTML template and write the initialization code
For components that are quite complex or used frequently, it's might
be better to use the first method. For simple pages that are used only
in one location or need to support customization, the second method
might be preferable. Other benefits of templates:
- cleaner code and UI separation
- more flexibility in customization
- new pages can be developed quickly and require less coding
- multiple templates can be used with the same initialization code
- easier to maintain
The HBAC details page has been implemented using both methods. By
default it will use custom widgets to generate the page. To use a
custom layout, add the following parameter to the URL, then reload
the page:
&layout=<name>
Currently the only available layout is 'default' which produces the
same look as the custom widgets.
The HBAC details page is usable, but it still needs additional work.
The access time is not working yet. There is no undo button, hint,
or validation yet.
The table in the association facet has also been changed to use
ipa_association_widget which is derived from ipa_table_widget.
The Makefile has been updated to include the layouts. The unit tests
have been updated as well.
The ipa_cmd() has been modified to identity the type of the error
it has received and display the error using the right dialog box.
The dialog box can be customized further to display the appropriate
amount of information for each type of error.
This patch introduces a new framework for implementing custom UI.
It consists of the following classes:
Main:
- IPA: global namespace and object repository
- ipa_entity: base class for entities
- ipa_facet: base class for facets
Add dialog:
- ipa_add_dialog: default add dialog
- ipa_add_field: the fields used in the dialog
Search facet:
- ipa_search_facet: default search facet
- ipa_search_column: the columns in the search result
Details facet:
- ipa_details_facet: default details facet
- ipa_details_section: the sections in the details facet
- ipa_details_field: the fields in the details facet
Association facet:
- ipa_association_facet: default association facet
- ipa_association_config: the association configurations
To use this framework, create a class extending the ipa_entity (e.g.
ipa_hbac). Use the create_* methods to create add dialog, search facet,
details facet, and association facet. The fields/columns for the dialog
and facets can be specified using the init() function. Custom UI can be
defined by overwriting the base methods (e.g. setup, save, load).
The entity must be added into the repository using IPA.add_entity().
The original ipa_entity_setup() has been generalized by moving facet-
specific codes into the corresponding facet. Some facet names are still
hard-coded. This will be fixed in follow-up patches.
Some global variables have been removed because their function has been
replaced by the object repository:
- ipa_entity_add_list
- ipa_entity_search_list
- ipa_entity_details_list
- window_hash_cache
Some functions and variables have been moved into IPA namespace:
- ipa_json_url -> IPA.json_url
- ipa_use_static_files -> IPA.use_static_files
- ipa_ajax_options -> IPA.ajax_options
- ipa_objs -> IPA.metadata
- ipa_messages -> IPA.messages
- ipa_dialog -> IPA.error_dialog
- ipa_init() -> IPA.init()
Initially the HBAC and Service entities have been rewritten to use the
new framework. The DNS is partially converted, the ipa_records_facet
is used to define custom records facet.
Other entities can still work using the old framework. The old framework
has been modified to be a wrapper for the new framework. Eventually all
entities will be converted to use the new framework.
Some unit tests have been modified to use the new framework.
metadata for phone numbers
test date for users
Undo works for multivalue
JQuery UI buttons have custom classes
inputs/fields are now managed inside of objects
removed the use of .call. as it was confusing the issue of
mismatched parameter lists.
Fixed the parameter lists, too.
This is an initial implementation of certificate management for
services. It addresses the mechanism required to view and update
certificates. The complete UI implementation will be addressed in
subsequent patches.
On the server side, the service.py has been modified to define
usercertificate in the service object's takes_params. This is
needed to generate the proper JSON metadata which is needed by
the UI. It also has been modified to accept null certificate for
deletion.
On the client side, the service details page has been modified to
display the base64-encoded certificate in a text area. When the
page is saved, the action handler will store the base64-encoded
certificate in the proper JSON structure. Also the service name
and service hostname are now displayed in separate fields.
The details configuration has been modified to support displaying
and updating certificates. The structure is changed to use maps
to define sections and fields. A section contains name, label,
and an array of fields. A field contains name, label, setup
function, load function, and save function. This is used to
implement custom interface and behavior for certificates.
All other entities, test cases, and test data have been updated
accordingly. Some functions and variables have been renamed to
improve clarity and consistency.
Population of the policy and entites tabs.
DNS and ACI are broken due to PLugin issues
Fix for entities without search
Added new files to Makefile.am
used rolegroup.js file as the start point, renamed to serverconfig.js
The ipa_error_handler() has been modified to display the AJAX URL
that is having a problem. The ipa_cmd() error handler is now invoked
using call() to pass 'this' object which contains the URL.
The ipa_cmd() has been modified such that when an error occurs a
dialog box will appear showing the error message with 2 buttons:
Retry and Cancel. If Retry is clicked, it will attempt to execute
the same operation again. If Cancel is clicked, the operation will
be canceled and the control is returned to the caller.
New unit tests have been added to test ipa_cmd() on successfull
and unsuccessfull cases.
The associate.js, details.js, entity.js, search.js, and webui.js
have been modified to display the error message inside the page.
This behavior can be changed in the future (e.g. redirect to error
page).
The navigation.js and webui.js have been modified to render only
the visible tabs. This improves the performance and reduce hidden
errors. The navigation unit test has been modified to reflect this
behavior.
Some variables/functions also have been renamed for consistency.
Quick summary:
- use jQuery UI and jQuery BBQ libraries
- code restructuring
The patch has so many changes they can't be listed here. Many parts
of the code have been rewritten from scrach.
See freeipa-devel mailing list:
webUI code restructuring [wall of text, diagrams, ... you've been warned!]
2010-09-07
-Refactored the associations code into a set of objects that are configured by the entities
-Added support for associations that can be done in a single rpc
-hostgroup to host and group to user associations working
-Restructed sampledata so that the file is matched automatically by the RPC method name
-The new ipa_cmd/sampledata scheme insists on there being sample data for any commands or the ipa_command fails.
-Added sampledata files for all the calls we make
-renamed several of the sampledata files to match their rpc calls
-Started a pattern of refactoring where all the forms for the entity fall under a single object
We now catch the hashchange event and use that to drive most of the site.
To trigger page transitions, modify location.hash.
Params start with # not ?.
Removed user-group.inc.
converted tabs to spaces
trivial imlementation of add and details for netgroup and hostgroup
lots of bug fixes based on routing problems and the refactorings.
- Add/Remove links are now only available for multivalue
attributes (Param.multivalue = true) and attributes with param
types, that are multivalue by definition (as of now only List).
Single-value attributes with no value are displayed as empty
input elements.
- When updating an attribute, leading and trailing spaces are
stripped
- Context help available in the form of hints, that are extracted
form Param.hint.
to hash params ( starting with # ). User Details are now part of
index.xhtml, ao one more .inc file has been removed.
Updated commit to catch a few things that had been left out, including
sampledata handling and updateing Makefile.am
The problem was that parameters with no values are automatically
set to None by the framework and it wasn't handled properly in
baseldap.py:get_attributes function. Also, there were two logical
bugs in details.js:
1) atttribute callback to update values were called for input elements
instead of dt elements
2) it was always trying to update the primary key
What does it mean?
I removed duplicate code, that was pasted here from the user details page.
ipa_details_init doesn't call ipa_init anymore.
ipa_details_create takes a second optional parameter, that can be set to
a container element if we want to place the definition lists into a specific
element instead of <body>. In our case, we place stuff in <div id="content">
