Note that this doesn't rely on IPA having a configured DNS server.
It passes the host name to the resolver and doesn't try to do a lookup
within the IPA DNS directly (e.g. no internal LDAP search).
Tries to determine if a domain is included and if not then the IPA
domain is added. This won't do the right thing if there are multiple
configured subdomains.

Quick summary:
- use jQuery UI and jQuery BBQ libraries
- code restructuring
The patch has so many changes they can't be listed here. Many parts
of the code have been rewritten from scrach.
See freeipa-devel mailing list:
webUI code restructuring [wall of text, diagrams, ... you've been warned!]

Make two krbV imports conditional. These aren't used during a client
install so should cause no problems.
Also fix the client installer to use the new env option in ipautil.run.
We weren't getting the krb5 configuration set in the environment because
we were overriding the environment to set the PATH.
ticket 136
We don't use certmonger to get certificates during installation because
of the chicken-and-egg problem. This means that the IPA web and ldap
certs aren't being tracked for renewal.
This requires some manual changes to the certmonger request files once
tracking has begun because it doesn't store a subject or principal template
when a cert is added via start-tracking.
This also required some changes to the cert command plugin to allow a
host to execute calls against its own service certs.
ticket 67
Fedora 14 introduced the following incompatiblities:
- the kerberos binaries moved from /usr/kerberos/[s]/bin to /usr/[s]bin
- the xmlrpclib in Python 2.7 is not fully backwards compatible to 2.6
Also, when moving the installed host service principals:
- don't assume that krbticketflags is set
- allow multiple values for krbextradata
ticket 155
The problem was that parameters with no values are automatically
set to None by the framework and it wasn't handled properly in
baseldap.py:get_attributes function. Also, there were two logical
bugs in details.js:
1) atttribute callback to update values were called for input elements
instead of dt elements
2) it was always trying to update the primary key
Using the host service principal one should be able to retrieve a keytab
for other services for the host using ipa-getkeytab. This required a number
of changes:
- allow hosts in the service's managedby to write krbPrincipalKey
- automatically add the host to managedby when a service is created
- fix ipa-getkeytab to return the entire prinicpal and not just the
first data element. It was returning "host" from the service tgt
and not host/ipa.example.com
- fix the display of the managedby attribute in the service plugin
This led to a number of changes in the service unit tests. I took the
opportunity to switch to the Declarative scheme and tripled the number
of tests we were doing. This shed some light on a few bugs in the plugin:
- if a service had a bad usercertificate it was impossible to delete the
service. I made it a bit more flexible.
- I added a summary for the mod and find commands
- has_keytab wasn't being set in the find output
ticket 68
This adds a new global option to the ipa command, -f/--no-fallback. If this
is included then just the server configured in /etc/ipa/default.conf is used.
Otherwise that is tried first then all servers in DNS with the ldap SRV record
are tried.
Create a new Local() Command class for local-only commands. The help
command is one of these. It shouldn't need a remote connection to execute.
ticket #15
Date: Tue, 10 Aug 2010 16:41:28 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 2/6] Add a new INTERNAL plugin that exports plugin meta-data into JSON.
This is required for the webUI, since we're dropping Genshi. *ehm* :)
You can't use this command on the CLI. It takes one optional argument:
the name of an IPA object. If not specified, meta-data for all objects
are returned.
setattr and addattr can now be used both to set all values of
ANY attribute. the last setattr always resets the attribute to
the specified value and all addattr append to it.
Examples:
user-mod testuser --setattr=title=msc
title: msc
user-mod testuser --setattr=title=msb
title: msb
user-mod testuser --addattr=title=msc
title: msb, msc
user-mod testuser --setattr=title=
title:
user-mod testuser --setattr=title=msc --addattr=msb
title: msc, msb
user-mod testuser --setattr=title=ing --addattr=bc
title: ing, bc
user-mod testuser --setattr=title=doc
title: doc
It's not very user friendly, but it's going to be used very very
rarely in special conditions in the CLI and we can use it to save
lots of JSON-RPC roundtrips in the webUI.
This version includes calling the validation of Params during the setting of the attrs.
To do this we need to break the link manually on both sides, the user and
the group.
We also have to verify in advance that the user performing this is allowed
to do both. Otherwise the user could be decoupled but not the group
leaving it in a quasi broken state that only ldapmodify could fix.
ticket 75
The remove member function in baseldap was not returning failures at all.
The add member function was only showing them in the group object.
Most of the magic is handled in baseldap. Each plugin just needs to define
object_name and object_name_plural. object_name must be all lower-case
because fake-attributes are created so membership can be broken out
per-object type. I left the plural name lower case as well.
ticket 85
The pattern validator by default displays the pattern that is being
matched against. This isn't helpful, particularly for very hairy patterns.
This adds a new parameter, pattern_errmsg, that is displayed on errors
if set.
ticket #11
This also requires a resolvable hostname on services as well. I want
people to think long and hard about adding things that aren't resolvable.
The cert plugin can automatically create services on the user's behalf when
issuing a cert. It will always set the force flag to True.
We use a lot of made-up host names in the test system, all of which require
the force flag now.
ticket #25
When a service has a certificate and the CA backend doesn't support
revocation (like selfsign) then we simply drop the old certificate in
preparation for adding a new one. We weren't setting the usercertificate
attribute to None so there was nothing to do in ldap_update().
Added a test case for this situation to ensure that re-issuing a certificate
works.
ticket #88
It returns the user prinicpal.
This is required by the webui, as the Kerberos credential mechanism in http
does not expose the cleartext prinicpal to the web browser.
This patch:
- bumps up the minimum version of python-nss
- will initialize NSS with nodb if a CSR is loaded and it isn't already
init'd
- will shutdown NSS if initialized in the RPC subsystem so we use right db
- updated and added a few more tests
Relying more on NSS introduces a bit of a problem. For NSS to work you
need to have initialized a database (either a real one or no_db). But once
you've initialized one and want to use another you have to close down the
first one. I've added some code to nsslib.py to do just that. This could
potentially have some bad side-effects at some point, it works ok now.
When the netgroup plugin was rebased it ended up using the member
attribute for its memberships and not memberuser/memberhost.
I also fixed this same attribute problem in the tests and tried to beef
them up a little. If nis/schema compat are enabled it will try to compare
the generated triplets with a known-good value.
This patch does the following:
- drops our in-tree x509v3 parser to use the python-nss one
- return more information on certificates
- make an API change, renaming cert-get to cert-show
- Drop a lot of duplicated code
I have to do some pretty low-level LDAP work to achieve this. Since
we can't read the key using our modlist generator won't work and lots of
tricks would be needed to use the LDAPUpdate object in any case.
I pulled usercertificate out of the global params and put into each
appropriate function because it makes no sense for service-disable.
This also adds a new variable, has_keytab, to service/host_show output.
This flag tells us whether there is a krbprincipalkey.
Add an optional search_attributes variable in case the attributes you
want to display by default aren't what you want to search on.
Also link in any cn=ipaconfig attributes that contain a comma-separated
list of attributes to search on.
This started as an effort to display a more useful error message in the
Apache error log if retrieving the schema failed. I broadened the scope
a little to include limiting the output in the Apache error log
so errors are easier to find.
This adds a new configuration option, startup_traceback. Outside of
lite-server.py it is False by default so does not display the traceback
that lead to the StandardError being raised. This makes the mod_wsgi
error much easier to follow.
This uses a new 389-ds plugin, Managed Entries, to automatically create
a group entry when a user is created. The DNA plugin ensures that the
group has a gidNumber that matches the users uidNumber. When the user is
removed the group is automatically removed as well.
If the managed entries plugin is not available or if a specific, separate
range for gidNumber is passed in at install time then User-Private Groups
will not be configured.
The code checking for the Managed Entries plugin may be removed at some
point. This is there because this plugin is only available in a 389-ds
alpha release currently (1.2.6-a4).
The problem was trying to operate directly on the ACI itself. I
introduced a new function, _aci_to_kw(), that converts an ACI
into a set of keywords. We can take these keywords, like those passed
in when an ACI is created, to merge in any changes and then re-create the
ACI.
I also switched the ACI tests to be declarative and added a lot more
cases around the modify operation.
