Currently, we throw many public exceptions without proper i18n.
Wrap natural-language error messages in _() so they can be translated.
In the service plugin, raise NotFound errors using handle_not_found helper
so the error message contains the offending service.
Use ScriptError instead of NotFoundError in bindinstance install.

* 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.

IPA server web form-based authentication allows logins for users
which for some reason cannot use Kerberos authentication. However,
when a password for such users expires, they are unable change the
password via web interface.
This patch adds a new WSGI script attached to URL
/ipa/session/change_password which can be accessed without
authentication and which provides password change capability
for web services.
The actual password change in the script is processed by LDAP
password change command.
Password result is passed both in the resulting HTML page, but
also in HTTP headers for easier parsing in web services:
X-IPA-Pwchange-Result: {ok, invalid-password, policy-error, error}
(optional) X-IPA-Pwchange-Policy-Error: $policy_error_text
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2276
We need to inform users when a forms-based login fails due to the
password needing to be reset. Currently there is no way to distinguish
a reset case vs an incorrect password.
This will bind the user using a simple LDAP bind over ldapi (by default)
and if that is successful, check the expiration date against the current
time.
The UI portion of this that uses this message will come later.

Two test methods in test_rpcserver had the same name; the first didn't get
to run.
Another duplicate pair was in test_hbac_plugin with the same name; the ignored
test had small error in it.
check_TypeError used a wrong constant name
An error reporting function in test.util used uninitialized argument names.
This patch fixes these problems.
* Adjust URL's
- rename /ipa/login -> /ipa/session/login_kerberos
- add /ipa/session/login_password
* Adjust Kerberos protection on URL's in ipa.conf
* Bump VERSION in httpd ipa.conf to pick up session changes.
* Adjust login URL in ipa.js
* Add InvalidSessionPassword to errors.py
* Rename krblogin class to login_kerberos for consistency with
new login_password class
* Implement login_password.kinit() method which invokes
/usr/bin/kinit as a subprocess
* Add login_password class for WSGI dispatch, accepts POST
application/x-www-form-urlencoded user & password
parameters. We form the Kerberos principal from the server's
realm.
* Add function krb5_unparse_ccache()
* Refactor code to share common code
* Clean up use of ccache names, be consistent
* Replace read_krbccache_file(), store_krbccache_file(), delete_krbccache_file()
with load_ccache_data(), bind_ipa_ccache(), release_ipa_ccache().
bind_ipa_ccache() now sets environment KRB5CCNAME variable.
release_ipa_ccache() now clears environment KRB5CCNAME variable.
* ccache names should now support any ccache storage scheme,
not just FILE based ccaches
* Add utilies to return HTTP status from wsgi handlers,
use constants for HTTP status code for consistency.
Use utilies for returning from wsgi handlers rather than
duplicated code.
* Add KerberosSession.finalize_kerberos_acquisition() method
so different login handlers can share common code.
* add Requires: krb5-workstation to server (server now calls kinit)
* Fix test_rpcserver.py to use new dispatch inside route() method
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2095
* Increase the session ID from 48 random bits to 128.
* Implement the sesison_logout RPC command. It permits the UI to send
a command that destroys the users credentials in the current
session.
* Restores the original web URL's and their authentication
protections. Adds a new URL for sessions /ipa/session/json. Restores
the original Kerberos auth which was for /ipa and everything
below. New /ipa/session/json URL is treated as an exception and
turns all authenticaion off. Similar to how /ipa/ui is handled.
* Refactor the RPC handlers in rpcserver.py such that there is one
handler per URL, specifically one handler per RPC and AuthMechanism
combination.
* Reworked how the URL names are used to map a URL to a
handler. Previously it only permitted one level in the URL path
hierarchy. We now dispatch on more that one URL path component.
* Renames the api.Backend.session object to wsgi_dispatch. The use of
the name session was historical and is now confusing since we've
implemented sessions in a different location than the
api.Backend.session object, which is really a WSGI dispatcher, hence
the new name wsgi_dispatch.
* Bullet-proof the setting of the KRB5CCNAME environment
variable. ldap2.connect already sets it via the create_context()
call but just in case that's not called or not called early enough
(we now have other things besides ldap which need the ccache) we
explicitly set it early as soon as we know it.
* Rework how we test for credential validity and expiration. The
previous code did not work with s4u2proxy because it assumed the
existance of a TGT. Now we first try ldap credentials and if we
can't find those fallback to the TGT. This logic was moved to the
KRB5_CCache object, it's an imperfect location for it but it's the
only location that makes sense at the moment given some of the
current code limitations. The new methods are KRB5_CCache.valid()
and KRB5_CCache.endtime().
* Add two new classes to session.py AuthManager and
SessionAuthManager. Their purpose is to emit authication events to
interested listeners. At the moment the logout event is the only
event, but the framework should support other events as they arise.
* Add BuildRequires python-memcached to freeipa.spec.in
* Removed the marshaled_dispatch method, it was cruft, no longer
referenced.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2362
Add new class "cachedproperty" for creating property-like attributes
that cache the return value of a method call.
Also fix few issues in the unit tests to enable them to succeed.
ticket 1959
There are two reasons for the plugin framework:
1. To provide a way of doing manual/complex LDAP changes without having
to keep extending ldapupdate.py (like we did with managed entries).
2. Allows for better control of restarts.
There are two types of plugins, preop and postop. A preop plugin runs
before any file-based updates are loaded. A postop plugin runs after
all file-based updates are applied.
A preop plugin may update LDAP directly or craft update entries to be
applied with the file-based updates.
Either a preop or postop plugin may attempt to restart the dirsrv instance.
The instance is only restartable if ipa-ldap-updater is being executed
as root. A warning is printed if a restart is requested for a non-root
user.
Plugins are not executed by default. This is so we can use ldapupdate
to apply simple updates in commands like ipa-nis-manage.

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.
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
Fix a logic problem in ldap2:get_schema() for determining if it
can fetch the schema or not. Normally we only want to do this for servers
but if you pass in your own connection it will use that.
