Hi all,
I've had a change to look at the changes made as part of SYNCOPE-123, to
support binary attributes. I can now load a X509 Certificate + associate it
with a user, and propagate (+ sync) it to LDAP via the userCertificate
attribute. Nice work Francesco!
Thanks Colm :-)
I just have some minor UI enhancement ideas:
a) Instead of making the user input a MIME Type, why not just have a
dropdown list with (e.g.) the following?
http://www.sitepoint.com/web-foundations/mime-types-complete-list/
Why don't we put instead an auto-complete field featuring this list -
can't believe CXF hasn't turned it yet into a handful constant class ;-)
- instead?
Being the list very long, a plain dropdown would be less handy, IMO, and
would also prohibit any non-standard input (say a mimeType only valid
within a company or so).
b) I think the "User" UI needs some work. Right now, there is no way of
telling whether a user has an associated binary attribute by looking at the
screen, you need to download the attribute and see if it has content or
not. Maybe we could have a checkbox that shows whether the attribute has
content or not? Or we could display the total byte count of the attribute
or something?
You are right.
Since AFAIK Andrea is currently thinking about how to provide a
pluggable binary viewer mechanism (as we discussed in [1]), we could
open an issue for "Binary Schema UI enhancements" and include the notes
above + [1].
WDYT?
