[Trac] Re: Sharing user passwords between trac instances
W. Martin Borgert wrote: Hi, I have created multiple trac instances for my projects. All are running via the same Apache server and WSGI. Authentication is done via AuthType Basic and the usual .htpasswd file. Every project has it's own set of users, but some users have accounts in more than one of the instances. So I don't want to add users globally to all projects. But it would be convenient, if a user could use the same password in all instances and a password change would reflect to all instances (maybe also preference changes). Is there some way to do this? TIA! You can do this by sharing the .htpasswd file amongst all tracs. However, you can't have a basic authenticated permission, otherwise any authenticated user would have access to any trac. Instead you need to get rid of all permissions from authenticated and add desired permissions to users for each trac. Then do a permission add userfoo users in trac1 and permission add userbar users in trac2. This gives userfoo access to trac1 and userbar access to trac2. (thats trac-admin syntax, you could do it from the www interface too). If userfoo tries to log into trac2, they're not in the users group for that trac, hence they only have the anonymous permissions (in my case, anonymous has no permission!)

Also, all my stuff is personal so I don't want to put them in the Internet, and since during traveling, I cannot access to the Internet at all. VM's don't have to go near the internet... I think a VM has advantages over trac directly on a USB stick (you could even put the VM on a USB stick - doesn't have to be big) as the same VM will always have the same versions of trac, apache, sql, etc, whereas your different boxes might differ in versions, despite your best efforts!

[Trac] Re: Investigating Trac - multiple projects?
Hi! Rob wrote: snip Do I need a separate Trac installation for each project? we use Trac for multiple projects in two different ways, for two different reasons. There are of course other ways of doing it, this is just what we do: 1. Multiple trac environments. ie. /var/lib/trac/proj1 /var/lib/trac/proj2. We use this method because we give specific access to the different environments to different customers who want to trac a project post release. Each environment shares the password file, but has completely different sets of tickets. Some are read-only, some they can add tickets to. 2. One trac environment, add a custom field. ie. only one /var/lib/trac/proj but I've edited [ticket-custom] to add a select box for listing the different projects. I've also edited the reports to tailor them for the extra field. We use this one internally as a bit of a task and defect tracker, so we can see individual's hours acrross multiple projects and tasks. If anyone has experience with Assembla and can make other direct comparisons - for better or worse - I'd really appreciate it. Sorry, never used it.

[Trac] Custom fields disappear after restarting apache
Hi all, I'm using a trac on a virtual machine setup by Agile42[1] (using Ubuntu 7.10, Linux 2.6.22-14-server, Trac 0.10.4 with some plugins, using Apache to serve). I administer a couple of other Tracs, so I'm fairly confident with playing around. Just recently I wanted to add some custom ticket fields. (I've done this before on a vanilla trac 0.11 using the tracd server, modified the reports, and everything's fine.) I added the field like this: [ticket-custom] # ... projectcode = select projectcode.label = Project Code projectcode.options = foo|Bar|baz When I refresh a ticket, the field appears. However when I restart apache (ie. after a system reboot), the field is no longer visible in the ticket page! If I change the name (eg from projectcode to aprojectcode) the field appears again, until I restart apache, then it disappears! I can see the change history showing when the custom field was changed, but the select box is not there. The custom queries page always shows Project Code in the Add filter select box. I can reproduce this reliably on 0.10.4, but not on 0.11. I don't have a vanilla 0.10.4 (ie. no plugins) installed anywhere, but if you think this is worth trying, I'll install it. Any hints / help would be appreciated! I can't find much on google about this. thanks!
