94d457e83c Use DN objects instead of strings
* 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.

ee780df13c Implement password based session login
* 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

059a90702e Implement session activity timeout
Previously sessions expired after session_auth_duration had elapsed
commencing from the start of the session. We new support a "rolling"
expiration where the expiration is advanced by session_auth_duration
everytime the session is accessed, this is equivalent to a inactivity
timeout. The expiration is still constrained by the credential
expiration in all cases. The session expiration behavior is
configurable based on the session_auth_duration_type.

* Reduced the default session_auth_duration from 1 hour to 20 minutes.

* Replaced the sesssion write_timestamp with the access_timestamp and
  update the access_timestamp whenever the session data is created,
  retrieved, or written.

* Modify set_session_expiration_time to handle both an inactivity
  timeout and a fixed duration.

* Introduce  KerberosSession as a mixin class to share session
  duration functionality with all classes manipulating session data
  with Kerberos auth. This is both the non-RPC login class and the RPC
  classes.

* Update make-lint to handle new classes.

* Added session_auth_duration_type config item.

* Updated default.conf.5 man page for new session_auth_duration_type item.

* Removed these unused config items: mount_xmlserver,
  mount_jsonserver, webui_assets_dir

9753fd4230 Tweak the session auth to reflect developer consensus.
* 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.

bba4ccb3a0 add session manager and cache krb auth
This patch adds a session manager and support for caching
authentication in the session. Major elements of the patch are:

* Add a session manager to support cookie based sessions which
  stores session data in a memcached entry.

* Add ipalib/krb_utils.py which contains functions to parse ccache
  names, format principals, format KRB timestamps, and a KRB_CCache
  class which reads ccache entry and allows one to extract information
  such as the principal, credentials, credential timestamps, etc.

* Move krb constants defined in ipalib/rpc.py to ipa_krb_utils.py so
  that all kerberos items are co-located.

* Modify javascript in ipa.js so that the IPA.command() RPC call
  checks for authentication needed error response and if it receives
  it sends a GET request to /ipa/login URL to refresh credentials.

* Add session_auth_duration config item to constants.py, used to
  configure how long a session remains valid.

* Add parse_time_duration utility to ipalib/util.py. Used to parse the
  session_auth_duration config item.

* Update the default.conf.5 man page to document session_auth_duration
  config item (also added documentation for log_manager config items
  which had been inadvertantly omitted from a previous commit).

* Add SessionError object to ipalib/errors.py

* Move Kerberos protection in Apache config from /ipa to /ipa/xml and
  /ipa/login

* Add SessionCCache class to session.py to manage temporary Kerberos
  ccache file in effect for the duration of an RPC command.

* Adds a krblogin plugin used to implement the /ipa/login
  handler. login handler sets the session expiration time, currently
  60 minutes or the expiration of the TGT, whichever is shorter. It
  also copies the ccache provied by mod_auth_kerb into the session
  data.  The json handler will later extract and validate the ccache
  belonging to the session.

* Refactored the WSGI handlers so that json and xlmrpc could have
  independent behavior, this also moves where create and destroy
  context occurs, now done in the individual handler rather than the
  parent class.

* The json handler now looks up the session data, validates the ccache
  bound to the session, if it's expired replies with authenicated
  needed error.

* Add documentation to session.py. Fully documents the entire process,
  got questions, read the doc.

* Add exclusions to make-lint as needed.
