When creating a host with a password we don't set a Kerberos
principal or add the Kerberos objectclasses. Those get added when the
host is enrolled. If one passed in --password= (so no password) then
we incorrectly thought the user was in fact setting a password, so the
principal and objectclasses weren't updated.

Updates old information produced by the ipa help host command.
Also adds a section to ipa-client-install manpage about client
re-enrollment.

Public keys in the old format (raw RFC 4253 blob) are automatically
converted to OpenSSH-style public keys. OpenSSH-style public keys are now
stored in LDAP.
Changed sshpubkeyfp to be an output parameter, as that is what it actually
is.
Allow parameter normalizers to be used on values of any type, not just
unicode, so that public key blobs (which are str) can be normalized to
OpenSSH-style public keys.
ticket 2932, 2935
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.

Even though managedBy output parameter was only used for failed host
managedBy memberships, it was defined in global baseldap.py
classes. Incorrect label was then being displayed also for DNS zone
per-zone permission attribute with the same name.
Move managedBy output parameter to host plugin. Define proper managedBy
output parameter in DNS plugin to improve clarity of this attribute.

* 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.

Improved options checking so that host-mod operation is not changing
password for enrolled host when '--random' option is used.
Unit tests added.

We actually perform two searches in permission-find. The first looks
for matches within the permission object itself. The second looks at
matches in the underlying aci.
We need to break out in two places. The first is if we find enough
matches in the permission itself. The second when we are appending
matches from acis.
The post_callback() definition needed to be modified to return
the truncated value so a plugin author can modify that value.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2322
DNS and host plugin does not work well with domain names ending
with dot. host plugin creates a record with two fqdn attributes
when such hostname is created which then has to be manually fixed.
DNS plugin handled zones with and without trailing dot as two
distinct zones, which may lead to issues when both zones are
created.
This patch sanitizes approach to FQDNs in both DNS and host plugin.
Hostnames are now always normalized to the form without trailing
dot as this form did not work before and it would keep hostname
form consistent without changes in our server/client enrollment
process.
As DNS zones always worked in both forms this patch rather makes
sure that the plugin works with both forms of one zone and prevents
creating 2 identical zones with just different format.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2420
DNS plugin did not check DNS zone and DNS record validity and
user was thus able to create domains like "foo bar" or other
invalid DNS labels which would really confuse both user and
bind-dyndb-ldap plugin.
This patch at first consolidates hostname/domain name validators
so that they use common functions and we don't have regular
expressions and other checks defined in several places. These
new cleaned validators are then used for zone/record name
validation.

Adding reverse DNS record may be a time consuming task, especially
for IPv6 addresses. Having a way to automatically create a reverse
record when a forward record is created could speed up the process.
host-add command already has this possibility.
This patch takes advantage of the new per-type API and adds new
options for A/AAAA record types: --a-create-reverse and
--aaaa-create-reverse. These commands can be used to automatically
create reverse records for new A/AAAA addresses (both forward
and reverse zones need to be managed by FreeIPA server):
ipa dnsrecord-add example.com foo --a-rec=10.0.0.1 --a-create-reverse
This command would add a new A record to record foo in zone
example.com and a PTR record to appropriate reverse zone for
IP address 10.0.0.1 (for example PTR record 1 in zone
0.0.10.in-addr.arpa. pointing to foo.example.com.).
Few modification were done to new DNS API to support this feature:
- Refactor --ip-address option handling from host-add and place it
to dns.py to be used by both modules
- Add support for "extra" per-type options
- Hide DNS record part options in dnsrecord_find command as they
have no effect for this command
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2009
Deleting these would cause the IPA master to blow up.
For services I'm taking a conservative approach and only limiting the
deletion of known services we care about.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2425
This patch adds a new multivalue param "sshpubkey" for specifying SSH public
keys to both user and host objects. The accepted value is base64-encoded
public key blob as specified in RFC4253, section 6.6.
Additionaly, host commands automatically update DNS SSHFP records when
requested by user.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/754
Host object has a virtual attribute "managing" containing all hosts
it manages (governed by managedBy attribute). This patch also adds
standard membership filtering options:
--man-hosts=HOSTS: Only hosts managing _all_ HOSTS are returned
--not-man-hosts=HOSTS: Only hosts which do not manage _any_ host
in HOSTS are returned
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1675
macaddress is a multi-valued attribute and we allow multiple entries.
This is from the objectclass ieee802device. This is added manually when
doing a mod or add and not as a default to support existing host entries
that do not have this objectclass. If this were added to the defaults
then existing hosts missing this objectclass would not be found by
host-find.
It is possible to get ethers data out of nss by configuring nsswitch.conf
to use ldap for ethers and running getent ethers <hostname>
I tested nslcd and it only returned one macaddress value.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1132
host-add command allows to add a host and its IP address via
--ip-address option. When the address is invalid, it throws
an error and refuses to operate. However, the invalid IP address
error message is always the same which is not right as it forces
a user to guess the reason of rejection (loopback address,
link-local address or invalid address at all was passed, etc.).
This patch changes host-add validator to print the error message.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2229
Parameters in LDAP objects missed an information if they are real
LDAP attributes or not. Real LDAP attributes are written to
entry_attrs dictionary in plugin callbacks and are being encoded.
This causes issues when plugin callbacks does not expect that
the parameters values are already encoded for submission to LDAP.
This patch introduces a new flag "noattribute" used to mark that
a parameter is not an LDAP attribute and thus should not be encoded
or added to entry_attrs. Param documentation is improved to describe
the meaning of this and other Param flags or attributes.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2097
The 'Keytab' field in output of all 'user-*' commands was changed
to 'Kerberos keys available'. In order to do this change for 'user-*'
commands only, the flag 'has_keytab' had to be removed from common
output parametrs in ipalib/baseldap.py. This change also affected the
host.py and service.py, where the 'has_keytab' flag was added to their
local output params. Both host.py and service.py holds the old field
caption - 'Keytab' - because of compatibility with older clients.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1961
New option --pkey-only is available for all LDAPSearch based classes
with primary key visible in the output. This option makes LDAPSearch
commands search for primary attribute only.
This may be useful when manipulating large data sets. User can at
first retrieve all primary keys in a relatively small data package
and then run further commands with retrieved primary keys.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1262
This patch reverts the use of pygettext for i18n string extraction. It
was originally introduced because the help documentation for commands
are in the class docstring and module docstring.
Docstrings are a Python construct whereby any string which immediately
follows a class declaration, function/method declaration or appears
first in a module is taken to be the documentation for that
object. Python automatically assigns that string to the __doc__
variable associated with the object. Explicitly assigning to the
__doc__ variable is equivalent and permitted.
We mark strings in the source for i18n translation by embedding them
in _() or ngettext(). Specialized extraction tools (e.g. xgettext)
scan the source code looking for strings with those markers and
extracts the string for inclusion in a translation catalog.
It was mistakingly assumed one could not mark for translation Python
docstrings. Since some docstrings are vital for our command help
system some method had to be devised to extract docstrings for the
translation catalog. pygettext has the ability to locate and extract
docstrings and it was introduced to acquire the documentation for our
commands located in module and class docstrings.
However pygettext was too large a hammer for this task, it lacked any
fined grained ability to extract only the docstrings we were
interested in. In practice it extracted EVERY docstring in each file
it was presented with. This caused a large number strings to be
extracted for translation which had no reason to be translated, the
string might have been internal code documentation never meant to be
seen by users. Often the superfluous docstrings were long, complex and
likely difficult to translate. This placed an unnecessary burden on
our volunteer translators.
Instead what is needed is some method to extract only those strings
intended for translation. We already have such a mechanism and it is
already widely used, namely wrapping strings intended for translation
in calls to _() or _negettext(), i.e. marking a string for i18n
translation. Thus the solution to the docstring translation problem is
to mark the docstrings exactly as we have been doing, it only requires
that instead of a bare Python docstring we instead assign the marked
string to the __doc__ variable. Using the hypothetical class foo as
an example.
class foo(Command):
'''
The foo command takes out the garbage.
'''
Would become:
class foo(Command):
__doc__ = _('The foo command takes out the garbage.')
But which docstrings need to be marked for translation? The makeapi
tool knows how to iterate over every command in our public API. It was
extended to validate every command's documentation and report if any
documentation is missing or not marked for translation. That
information was then used to identify each docstring in the code which
needed to be transformed.
In summary what this patch does is:
* Remove the use of pygettext (modification to install/po/Makefile.in)
* Replace every docstring with an explicit assignment to __doc__ where
the rhs of the assignment is an i18n marking function.
* Single line docstrings appearing in multi-line string literals
(e.g. ''' or """) were replaced with single line string literals
because the multi-line literals were introducing unnecessary
whitespace and newlines in the string extracted for translation. For
example:
'''
The foo command takes out the garbage.
'''
Would appear in the translation catalog as:
"\n
The foo command takes out the garbage.\n
"
The superfluous whitespace and newlines are confusing to translators
and requires us to strip leading and trailing whitespace from the
translation at run time.
* Import statements were moved from below the docstring to above
it. This was necessary because the i18n markers are imported
functions and must be available before the the doc is
parsed. Technically only the import of the i18n markers had to
appear before the doc but stylistically it's better to keep all the
imports together.
* It was observed during the docstring editing process that the
command documentation was inconsistent with respect to the use of
periods to terminate a sentence. Some doc had a trailing period,
others didn't. Consistency was enforced by adding a period to end of
every docstring if one was missing.
We need an indicator to see if a keytab has been set on host and
service entries. We also need a way to know if a one-time password is
set on a host.
This adds an ACI that grants search on userPassword and
krbPrincipalKey so we can do an existence search on them. This way
we can tell if the attribute is set and create a fake attribute
accordingly.
When a userPassword is set on a host a keytab is generated against
that password so we always set has_keytab to False if a password
exists. This is fine because when keytab gets generated for the
host the password is removed (hence one-time).
This adds has_keytab/has_password to the user, host and service plugins.

The CSS text-transform sometimes produces incorrect capitalization,
so the code has been modified to use translated labels that already
contain the correct capitalization.
Ticket #1424
The object_name, object_name_plural and messages that use these
attributes have been converted to support translation. The label
attribute in the Param class has been modified to accept unicode
string.
Ticket #1435
A new attribute label_singular has been added to all entities which
contains the singular form of the entity label in lower cases except
for acronyms (e.g. HBAC) or proper nouns (e.g. Kerberos). In the Web
UI, this label can be capitalized using CSS text-transform.
The existing 'label' attribute is intentionally left unchanged due to
inconsistencies in the current values. It contains mostly the plural
form of capitalized entity label, but some are singular. Also, it
seems currently there is no comparable capitalization method on the
server-side. So more work is needed before the label can be changed.
Ticket #1249
For the most part certificates will be treated as being in DER format.
When we load a certificate we will generally accept it in any format but
will convert it to DER before proceeding in normalize_certificate().
This also re-arranges a bit of code to pull some certificate-specific
functions out of ipalib/plugins/service.py into ipalib/x509.py.
This also tries to use variable names to indicate what format the certificate
is in at any given point:
dercert: DER
cert: PEM
nsscert: a python-nss Certificate object
rawcert: unknown format
ticket 32
The goal is to not import foreign certificates.
This caused a bunch of tests to fail because we had a hardcoded server
