Can we use augeas for this? Augeas lenses use this kind of the validation and there is python binding so may be we should use augeas as an inspiration or ask for an augeas Javascript solution?
We might be able to learn something from Augeas, but the current Param aspect of the Python architecture is probably powerful enough to implement it in as well. We just need to make a decision which way to go. Endi and I had a long discussion on IRC, which I have captured. The short of it is that the UI is flexible enough to deal with whatever the Back end decides to do.
My suggestion is that we think about doing complex attributes. If we decide that they are too complicated or cumbersome, we cane go with this design.
We need a better approach than setattr/add attr, but it should not be specific to the DNS use case. Let me frame the problem this way: Extend the IPA plugin API to allow for multivalue attributes, composed of multiple fields, where the fields can have format strings. Solve this design issue, and the DNS design becomes an application of it. _______________________________________________ Freeipa-devel mailing list Freeipa-devel@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-devel
