* 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 implements read/write permissions for DNS record or zones.
Provided set of permissions and privileges can, however, only grant
access to the whole DNS tree, which may not be appropriate.
Administrators may miss more fine-grained permissions allowing
them to delegate access per-zone.
Create a new IPA auxiliary objectclass ipaDNSZone allowing
a managedBy attribute for a DNS zone. This attribute will hold
a group DN (in this case a permission) which allows its members
to read or write in a zone. Member permissions in given zone
will only have 2 limitations:
1) Members cannot delete the zone
2) Members cannot edit managedBy attribute
Current DNS deny ACI used to enforce read access is removed so that
DNS privileges are based on allow ACIs only, which is much more
flexible approach as deny ACIs have always precedence and limit
other extensions. Per-zone access is allowed in 3 generic ACIs
placed in cn=dns,$SUFFIX so that no special ACIs has to be added
to DNS zones itselves.
2 new commands have been added which allows an administrator to
create the system permission allowing the per-zone access and
fill a zone's managedBy attribute:
* dnszone-add-permission: Add per-zone permission
* dnszone-remove-permission: Remove per-zone permission
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2511
For security reasons, dynamic updates are not enabled for new DNS
zones. In order to enable the dynamic zone securely, user needs to
allow dynamic updates and create a zone update policy.
The policy is not easy to construct for regular users, we should
rather fill it by default and let users just switch the policy
on or off.

bind-dyndb-ldap persistent search queries LDAP for all DNS records.
The LDAP connection must have no size or time limits to work
properly.
This patch updates limits both for existing service principal
on updated machine and for new service principals added
as a part of DNS installation.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2531
With a publicly accessible DNS tree in LDAP, anyone with an access
to the LDAP server can get all DNS data as with a zone transfer
which is already restricted with ACL. Making DNS tree not readable
to public is a common security practice and should be applied
in FreeIPA as well.
This patch adds a new deny rule to forbid access to DNS tree to
users or hosts without an appropriate permission or users which
are not members of admins group. The new permission/aci is
applied both for new installs and upgraded servers.
bind-dyndb-ldap plugin is allowed to read DNS tree without any
change because its principal is already a member of "DNS
Servers" privilege.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2569
New features in bind-dyndb-ldap and IPA DNS plugin pulled new
attributes and objectclasses. ACIs and permissions need to be
updated to allow users with appropriate permissions update
these attributes in LDAP.
This patch updates the ACI for DNS record updates and adds one
new permission to update global DNS configuration.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2510
SSH public key support includes a feature to automatically add/update
client SSH fingerprints in SSHFP records. However, the update won't
work for zones created before this support was added as they don't
allow clients to update SSHFP records in their update policies.
This patch lets dns upgrade module extend the original policy
to allow the SSHFP dynamic updates. It updates only original
policy, we don't want it to overwrite custom user policies.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2394
Provide a way to specify BIND allow-query and allow-transfer ACLs
for DNS zones.
IMPORTANT: new bind-dyndb-ldap adds a zone transfer ability. To
avoid zone information leaks to unintended places, allow-transfer
ACL for every zone is by default set to none and has to be
explicitly enabled by an Administrator. This is done both for new
DNS zones and old DNS zones during RPM update via new DNS upgrade
plugin.
