Re: Rework the Apache VCL website?

Drupal has a lot of bells and whistles that can make for a very nice, highly interactive site. The downside of drupal is that it is not specifically designed to handle software documentation. On the other hand, if we only need to serve static html pages that focus on documentation, etc, I can also recommend Sphinx. The downside of Sphinx is that it is really best for Python and C++ projects, and it doesn't support web-based updates -- it does create excellent sites, though.

[DISCUSS] stop vote on RC1 and cut RC2

Hash: SHA1
Aaron,
You're not being a stick in the mud. I think it's great that you tested it
well enough to find a few things that need to be corrected - that's the whole
point of having a community vote to do a release. I definitely consider the
Shibboleth issue big enough to cut a new RC (even though that requires a new
vote).
All,
Aaron has some good points. I think we should fix the issues he mentioned and
cut RC2 for 2.3. This isn't an official vote process, but please share any
thoughts you have.

Sorry to a stick in the mud, guys, since I'd certainly like to see 2.3
released soon, but I encountered a few issues that I think should be fixed
before cutting the release.
I installed the release candidate using a fresh database, testing against a
vCenter provisioning engine and Shibboleth authentication. I was using a
64-bit Windows 7 image.
The first issue I encountered was that each time the management node calls
'get_file_contents', the contents of the target file are printed to the
log. This is generally not an issue, but when a slice of the registry is
retrieved, that amounted to ~30,000 lines in my logfile. And that happens
each time an image is reloaded. (Somehow I hadn't noticed this with the
code from about two weeks ago). I can certainly see the usefulness of this
during development, but I don't like the fact that this is the default
behavior for a release. For now, I would suggest modifying line 1789 of
OS.pm:
-my ($exit_status, $output) = $self-execute($command);
+my ($exit_status, $output) = $self-execute($command, 0); # do not
print the cmd output to the log
Later, it could be nice to make this somewhat more configurable.
Second, if the system is using Shibboleth it is not possible to handle users
who have not previously logged in (i.e. adding someone to a group). There
are two bugs preventing this from working properly. First, if someone
enables ALLOWADDSHIBUSERS in conf.php but doesn't define a value in
$addUserFuncArgs (I would anticipate this to be what most people using Shib
would do, since there is no documentation about what that array is for),
the initGlobals() function does not properly populate the addUserFuncArgs
array. This can be fixed by adding $addUserFuncArgs to the list of 'global'
values on line 68 in utils.php -- the current code is just modifying a
local value, not the global one:
-global $affilValFunc, $addUserFunc, $updateUserFunc;
+global $affilValFunc, $addUserFunc, $updateUserFunc, $addUserFuncArgs;
Once that change is made, though, there is also a SQL query expecting a
'validated' field in the users table. This field, however, does not exist.
It is in neither update-vcl.sql nor in vcl.sql:
vcl.sql, line 1079:
+ `validated` tinyint(1) unsigned NOT NULL default '1',
and update-vcl.sql, lines 827-
+ --
+
+ --
+ -- Table structure for table `user`
+ --
+
+ CALL AddColumnIfNotExists('user', 'validated', tinyint(1) unsigned NOT
NULL default '1'); +
Once these two changes are made, however, I am able to add shib users
exactly as the documentation suggests.
Otherwise, everything else looks good.

Otherwise, everything else looks good.

Re: [DISCUSS] stop vote on RC1 and cut RC2
Thanks for your understanding.
I updated trunk with the shibboleth-related fixes (adding user.validated to the
database scripts, fixing the global scope of $addUserFuncArgs). I also took the
opportunity to update the updateShibUser function so that user.validated is set
to 1 whenever a user officially logs in through the standard Shibboleth
channels (which makes the 'user.validated' field work as intended).

I also found a small change needed in the xCAT modules... nothing

Sorry to a stick in the mud, guys, since I'd certainly like to see 2.3
released soon, but I encountered a few issues that I think should be fixed
before cutting the release.
I installed the release candidate using a fresh database, testing against a
vCenter provisioning engine and Shibboleth authentication. I was using a
64-bit Windows 7 image.
The first issue I encountered was that each time the management node calls
'get_file_contents', the contents of the target file are printed to the
log. This is generally not an issue, but when a slice of the registry is
retrieved, that amounted to ~30,000 lines in my logfile. And that happens
each time an image is reloaded. (Somehow I hadn't noticed this with the
code from about two weeks ago). I can certainly see the usefulness of this
during development, but I don't like the fact that this is the default
behavior for a release. For now, I would suggest modifying line 1789 of
OS.pm:
-my ($exit_status, $output) = $self-execute($command);
+my ($exit_status, $output) = $self-execute($command, 0); # do not
print the cmd output to the log
Later, it could be nice to make this somewhat more configurable.
Second, if the system is using Shibboleth it is not possible to handle
users
who have not previously logged in (i.e. adding someone to a group). There
are two bugs preventing this from working properly. First, if someone
enables ALLOWADDSHIBUSERS in conf.php but doesn't define a value in
$addUserFuncArgs (I would anticipate this to be what most people using Shib
would do, since there is no documentation about what that array is for),
the initGlobals() function does not properly populate the addUserFuncArgs
array. This can be fixed by adding $addUserFuncArgs to the list of 'global'
values on line 68 in utils.php -- the current code is just modifying a
local value, not the global one:
-global $affilValFunc, $addUserFunc, $updateUserFunc;
+global $affilValFunc, $addUserFunc, $updateUserFunc, $addUserFuncArgs;
Once that change is made, though, there is also a SQL query expecting a
'validated' field in the users table. This field, however, does not exist.
It is in neither update-vcl.sql nor in vcl.sql:
vcl.sql, line 1079:
+ `validated` tinyint(1) unsigned NOT NULL default '1',
and update-vcl.sql, lines 827-
+ --
+
+ --
+ -- Table structure for table `user`
+ --
+
+ CALL AddColumnIfNotExists('user', 'validated', tinyint(1) unsigned NOT
NULL default '1'); +
Once these two changes are made, however, I am able to add shib users
exactly as the documentation suggests.
Otherwise, everything else looks good.
