The problem was trying to operate directly on the ACI itself. I
introduced a new function, _aci_to_kw(), that converts an ACI
into a set of keywords. We can take these keywords, like those passed
in when an ACI is created, to merge in any changes and then re-create the
ACI.
I also switched the ACI tests to be declarative and added a lot more
cases around the modify operation.
A number of doc strings were not localized, wrap them in _().
Some messages were not localized, wrap them in _()
Fix a couple of failing tests:
The method name in RPC should not be unicode.
The doc attribute must use the .msg attribute for comparison.
Also clean up imports of _() The import should come from
ipalib or ipalib.text, not ugettext from request.
- The aci plugin didn't quite work with the new ldap2 backend.
- We already walk through the target part of the ACI syntax so skip that
in the regex altogether. This now lets us handle all current ACIs in IPA
(some used to be ignored/skipped)
- Add support for user groups so one can do v1-style delegation (group A
can write attributes x,y,z in group B). It is actually quite a lot more
flexible than that but you get the idea)
- Improve error messages in the aci library
- Add a bit of documentation to the aci plugin
The ACI plugin is really meant for developers to help manage the ACIs.
It may or may not be shipped. If it is it will be disabled by default.
It is very much a shoot-in-foot problem waiting to happen.
