The association facet has been modified to support multiple columns.
By default the facet will have one column which is the primary key of
the associated object (e.g. username of a group member), so the
existing code will work like before. Other fields (e.g. user's full
name) can be added by subclassing the ipa_association_facet class and
specifying the additional columns to display. These additional fields
will be retrieved using a batch operation.
Previously a single association facet instance will be used for all
associations in an entity. Now each association will have its own
association facet. This way each association facet can be customized
differently as needed. The <entity>-enroll URL parameter has been
removed because it's no longer needed.
The ipa_entity.create_association_facets() is provided to generate
the default association facets with one column for the primary key.
The column click handler has been moved out of ipa_column to provide
more flexibility for customization.
The get_action_panel() and get_client_area() have been modified to
search within the entity's container.
The group entity has been fully converted to use the new UI framework.
Association facets that have been modified to use multiple columns are:
- User Group's member_user
- HBAC Service Group's member_hbacsvc
- SUDO Command Group's member_sudocmd
- Service's managedby_host
New test data files have been added. Unit tests have been updated.
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.
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.
IPA commands now can be defined in these classes:
- ipa_command: a single IPA command
- ipa_batch_command: a batch command for executing multiple commands
on the server side using the new batch plugin
The dialog boxes for adding and removing entries have been refactored:
- ipa_dialog: base class for dialog boxes
- ipa_adder_dialog: generic adder dialog box
- ipa_deleter_dialog: generic deleter dialog box
- ipa_association_adder_dialog: adding entity association
- ipa_association_deleter_dialog: removing entity association
Dialog boxes for adding/deleting HBAC users, hosts, services, and
sourcehosts are implemented using the association dialog boxes.
The dialog box for adding access time is implemented using ipa_dialog
and currently contains only a text field. This will be replaced with a
custom dialog box in a separate patch.
The dialog box for removing access time is implemented using the
generic deleter class because it's not an association. Removing multiple
access times is implemented using batch operations.
New test data files for access times have been added.
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.
