- remove obsolete code related to PluginProxy
- remove parent_key attribute, for the purpose of nested objects
the parent's primary key is retrieved automatically
- added support for auto-generating of UUIDs
- make use of the improved attribute printing in CLI
- make LDAPDelete delete all sub-entries, not just one-level
- minor bug fixes
ipaObject is defined as an auxiliary objectclass so it is up to the
plugin author to ensure that the objectclass is included an a UUID generated.
ipaUniqueId is a MUST attribute so if you include the objectclass you must
ensure that the uuid is generated.
This also fixes up some unrelated unit test failures.
- attribute re-mapping, ordering and hiding
(Enables plugins to completely hide LDAP internals from users
and full localisation of command output.)
- translation of member DNs into object names
(No more DNs when listing group members etc.)
- support for "singleton" LDAP objects
(Objects like "pwpolicy"; not accessed by primary key.)
- new base classes for commands: LDAPModMember, LDAPAddMember
and LDAPRemoveMember
(Providing support for objects with 'member'-like attributes.)
- LDAPSearch implicit exit code changed to 1 when nothing is found
There are some operations, like those for the certificate system, that
don't need to write to the directory server. So instead we have an entry
that we test against to determine whether the operation is allowed or not.
This is done by attempting a write on the entry. If it would succeed then
permission is granted. If not then denied. The write we attempt is actually
invalid so the write itself will fail but the attempt will fail first if
access is not permitted, so we can distinguish between the two without
polluting the entry.
If we use cn for hostname there is no easy way to distinguish between
a host and a hostgroup. So adding a fqdn attribute to be used to store
the hostname instead.
