Re: [Zope-dev] Xron and security
Loren Stafford wrote: Thanks, Steve. I have few questions below 8-) (I'm always better with questions than answers.) -- Loren From: "Steve Alexander" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Loren, I'd be glad to listen to well considered proposals for how Xron should handle security. Consider this a "straw man". On installation, Xron creates a user in the root user folder called "XronUser". Xron is resonsible for setting this user's password. Therefore, it is known to both the Xron product, and also to the root user folder. When a Xron method is run, there is a property that indicates whether it is called anonymously, or authenticated as XronUser. Is there a good reason not to always pass authentication in the request? The authentication property would have to be stored in the Schedule catalog, and I'd like to keep the Schedule as small as possible. I can't think of a concrete example of when I'd want to have a Xron method called with no authentication, when authentication is available. XronUser would be a privilaged user, and it might be useful to run scheduled methods without using that privilage. However, in the 2.2 security model, you can drop privilage using proxy roles, so I don't think your suggestion above is a limitation. So, no, I can't see a good reason not to always pass authentication in the request. The Xron product could change the password of XronUser every day to a new random value. That's more than folks do to maintain secrecy of the "superuser" password. Is the extra trouble worthwhile? I put this in as an example to illustrate that only the Xron product, and the Zope root user folder need to know the XronUser password. You're right, it really doesn't need to change every day :-) However, there should be manage_... method in Xron that will change the password to a new random value. Then, if people wanted the password changed every day, they could use a Xron DTML Method to do it :-) Perhaps also a button somewhere in the Xron product, or in the Schedule, to call the manage_resetXronPassword method. The domains associated with XronUser could be just localhost.localdomain (not sure about this). Or based on whatever the machine's host-name is (probably better). At a virtual-hosted site, how could Xron know what the host-name is? Xron must know (in some sense) what the host name is now, in order to use ZClient to call a Xron DTML Method. I guess this is because the URL to use comes from absolute_url() in Zope. I'm using Xron 0.0.9 on a virtual-hosted site, and it works. However, restricting a User's domains doesn't work as I would expect. The configuration is ZServer behind Apache+ProxyPass. If I put any value in the "domains" field of a User, other than "127.0.0.1", that User cannot log in at all. I haven't looked into this particularly yet. In AccessControl/User.py, login restriction by domain works using REMOTE_HOST and REMOTE_ADDR from the REQUEST. I sent myself an email from a Xron DTML Method on two Zope 2.2.1b1 machines, one just running ZServer, the other virtual-hosted as described above. In the case of the virtual-hosted server, I get emailed REMOTE_ADDR 127.0.0.1 In the case of the bare ZServer, I get emailed REMOTE_ADDR my_server's_ip_address Also, for the virtual server, ZClient seems to choose an appropriate HTTP_HOST. So, it seems that the correct domain restriction to use depends on just how you're using ZServer. I can think of three ways around this: 1: Don't bother restricting by domain for XronUser. 2: Allow a Manager to configure what domains XronUser may log in from. 3: Use ZClient to call a method in Xron. Xron inspects the REQUEST passed for this method, extracts the REMOTE_ADDR and REMOTE_HOST, and uses one of these as the domain restriction. If you go with 3, there will need to be some button in Xron's management interface to re-determine the correct domain to use. If I were writing the software, I'd choose 2, and let the Manager of a site make the decision. -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box ltd http://www.cat-box.net ___ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )

[Zope-dev] Product creation question
I've created a product called BasicDocument. I've installed it and it works
great.
I've also created a folderish product. Installed. When a user selects
that product from the
available objects list, thus creating an instance of that product,
they have an option to
create sub folders which contain objects like dtml documents,
dtml methods, and my BasicDocument product
(very similar to what happens when you instantiate a folder object,
you can have a dtml method created in the new folder).
I am able to have the manage_addSimpleSite function to create DTMLDocument,
DTMLMethod and Folder objects but I am unable to have the function create
BasicDocuments (which live in the Products directory) additionally, I am
unbale to it create any Products from the Products directory,

Well, I have used Zope with a Barcode scanner. Since the scanner (as do
most) work via the keyboard, AS a keyboard, there is really nothing special
to do.
We did include some JavaScript to make the focus change when ENTER is hit,
since the scanner sends that at then end of a scan.
input type="text" name="name" onKeyUp="if (event.which == 13) {
document.forms[0].NextField.focus(); }"
Feedback is greatly appretiated :)
From what I can find (working for a company that sells barcode and mag stripe
scanners) you should have little trouble finding either that will interface
as a keyboard.
Have a better one,

Re: [Zope] mailhosts and mail server speed
Note that if you set up sendmail on a local box, make sure it either handballs stuff off to a smarthost straight away, or you have stuff set up to check for sendmail getting upset and just queuing messages for ever. Normally you'd notice breakages on your mail server - but your web server might be a different matter entirely. I've already dropped chris a mail about the issue. We run exim on our main mailservers with the configuration such that it verifies envelope addresses as much as it can (checks the domain exists for remote addresses). This is likely to cause speed issues, and for mass mailing or quick mailing from internal hosts it's better to have a different copy set up to handle the mail (it can even be on the same server, just on a different port with a different config, assuming the mail send class being used allows you to specify an alternate port). There are other config parameters to tweak if large amounts of mail are going to churn through it to optimise for speed and parallel delivery (if you queue mail and then send every 15 minutes, you can take advantage of the fact exim will batch mails if it detects they can go down the same SMTP connection). Where it's a forking mail server, if you are going to hit it lots, there's options to configure the limit on accepted connections/forked copies to stop the mail server grinding to a halt.

[Zope] Corruption caused by 'Pack'?
After using succesfully zope for some time I decided to cut a bit the database size. So I went to Control Panel/Database and clicked "Pack" for objects older than 10 days. At first everything seemed to work (I returned to the management screen seeing new - smaller - Data.fs size), but when I tried to preview my pages, terrible things happened - most pages turned to be not available, instead of seeing them I saw zope errors with useless descriptions like 'Zope error: error' etc (restarting browser and zope did not helped). Happily, during the process, the Data.fs.old file was created - stopping Zope, removing all Data.fs.sth and overwritting Data.fs with Data.fs.old returned zope instance to the previous state. So I will not click 'Pack' anymore. Has anyone notified similar problems? What could be going on? I use binary zope 2.2.0 distribution for Linux. The database has been created and always used with this distribution (just a few weeks ago) and has never been packed. The time on the machine seem to be correct (although IIRC there happened a moment a few weeks ago when it was for the short time incorrect). I use some custom ZClasses installed as a product developed within 'this' Control Panel/Products. By the way: to decrease database size I consider: - creating new Data.fs served via another (temporary) Zope instance (via just copying Data.fs.in) - exporting everything important from my current instance - importing those files into new instance - copying new Data.fs over the old one (of course each Data.fs copying is performed while both Zope's are shut down).

Hi all
In my 'index_html', I have::
dtml-var docsByTitle
This is supposed to return batches of documents, similarly to
http://www.zope.org/Products/ [1]. It works halfway, but the links
to previous and next batches of course refer to 'docsByTitle'
and not to 'index_html'::
a href="dtml-var document_iddtml-var sequence-queryqs=dtml-var
next-sequence-start-number"
I could include the looping code in 'index_html' (like [1] does),
but that isn't pretty -- and besides, I'd like to be able to choose
between 'docsByTitle', 'docsByOrigin', 'docsBySeries', etc. Is the
best way to do this to carry the relevant variable ('sequence-query',
'next-sequence-start-number' back and forth between 'index_html'
and 'docsByTitle' in the REQUEST? How would you tackle this?

Re: [Zope] Including a method returning batches inside a page.
Is docsByTitle a DTML Document?
If so then try making it a DTML Method.
It seems to be taking the properties from itself rather than it's container,
if yu see what I mean.

Hi Phil Is docsByTitle a DTML Document? It's a Method alright -- cutting straight off the screen:: DTML Method at /docs / docsByTitle and 'index_html' is:: DTML Document at /docs / index_html a href="dtml-var document_iddtml-var sequence-queryqs=dtml-var next-sequence-start-number" Hmm, it sounds like you expected 'document_id' to refer to 'index_html' instead of to 'docsByTitle'. That sets me thinking. Hmm! It works exactly that way if you replace 'document_id' with 'id'!

Re: [Zope] Generic Workflow Products?
Cary O'Brien wrote: After applying Zope to a couple of in-house projects (which turned out pretty well, thank you), I've started to come to the realization that many applications boil down to workflow management. A job comes in, attributes get set, things get attached to it, and it gets passed from person to person (to machine, in some cases) as it flows through the system. I guess to start out it would need the following: -- user classes -- job creation -- job attributes, with protection from view and modification depending on user classes -- multiple job queues, with access control, and some sort of priority. Queues may end up being implemented simply by having a job state, sequence number, and priority, and moving from one queue to another would just be changing the state. -- job timeouts for escalation, -- e-mail "ticklers" and notification -- job routing based on attributes and actions. -- some sort of api other then HTTP/HTML for external programs to access jobs, perform actions, and update jobs. -- Extra Credit: Graphical workflow editor. -- (what else am I missing) Sounds like a job for Zope, doesn't it. Basically I've implemented a couple of systems like this, either classic database-driven or z-class driven. But I'm tired of re-inventing the wheel. It would be nicer if systems like this could be implemented at the "workflow logic" level rather than the Zclass level. IE a set of ZClasses or Product classes that implemented workflow systems. Is there such a thing? Has anyone worked on such a thing? Any ideas how to implement such a thing? I've got a couple of modifications to an existing system coming up, which sounds like just the excuse I need for a total rewrite :) Check out some of the recent work on the PTK list, its building the infrastructure you need to implement plugabble workflows.

[Zope] strange zope problems of the crashing kind
Alright Zopers, I'm looking for a hint, a suggestion, just about anything would help since I can't, for the life of me, figure out what's wrong. Here's the run-down. We are running Zope 2.2.0 on Solaris, and we're running it through Apache + SSL. We're using a PostgreSQL DB with the ZPoPyDA. We are also using FSSession 0.4.0 for session management. Previously, we were using Zope 2.1.6, accessing ZServer directly, and using FSSession 0.3.1. Here's the problem. Previously, when we were accessing ZServer directly, Zope would spontaneously quit. No reason, it would just die. Restarting it would bring it back up, but minutes, sometimes hours, sometimes days later, it would spontaneously die again. I asked the list, but no one had had such problems (except Dieter, but that was an Oracle problem). So now that we're running it through Apache, we're still, apparently, having the same problem. What will happen is that every once in a while (more frequently with more traffic), Zope will hang indefinitely. The only way to get over it is to restart Zope. So apparently, the ZServer (which I guess takes requests from the pcgi process), is still going down as before. The question is, why is this happeneing? Or, more to the point, how can I figure out why it is happeneing? I looked through the Zope logs and the Apache logs and found nothing useful. I've been thinking that it might correspond to a heavy database access. Perhaps there's a problem with the ZPoPyDA. Or maybe it's FSSession (which, incidently, doesn't seem to be expiring cookies correctly). Or maybe it's a compatability issue with Solaris. I really don't kow, and I don't know how to go about finding out. So any help anybody can give me would be fantastic. If anybody's had any kind of similar problems, or if anybody has any suggestions, it would be much appreciated. I've racked my brains trying to figure it out, and I just can't. Thanks.

[Zope] Using crontab instead of rc.d
Hello everyone! My ISP where I have my web page, is running freeBSD 4.0. I do not know a lot about it. I know how to use crontab to start ZOPE at certain time how ever how do I use crontab to check on the script that is already running? Starting ZOPE again when it's running produces an error message and I do not know if that was a healthy solution. to start it I would be using something like: 5 * * * * root./start This would start the script every five minutes. Now how do I check if the script is running after it's been started and if it wasn't to restart it again. Also I was thinking to run ZOPE in DEBUG mode. That way it stays attached to the terminal (crontab I guess). I know about z2.pid. Nevertheless I find ZOPE down quite often every time they do something at the ISP. I asked them what to do and they told me to use crontab to check the script and restart it. For some reason they don't want me to use rc.d If I could guarantee to remove the z2.pid every time ZOPE goes down, I could apparently include something like this: if [ -x /home/virtuals/account/zope/z2.pid ] then // exit(0) fi 5 * * * * root./start to check if the file is present and if not to run the script. That can't be done when ZOPE exits abnormally though. Is this setup at all possible?

That can't be done when ZOPE exits abnormally though. Is this setup at all possible? Not quite. You don't want to run the start program from cron directly. What would be better is to write a small script and call that. My hint of the day is that you can use "kill -0 $pid" to test to see whether a pid is alive. eg: if ! kill -0 `cat /home/virtuals/account/zope/z2.pid` ; then cd /home/virtuals/account/zope ; ./start fi However, zope already implements a keepalive facility. If you look at the existing Z2.pid file, you'll notice that there are two pids (at least, there are on my 2.1.6 setup). And if the child dies, it gets restarted. For details, see ~zope/lib/python/zdaemon.py. All of which means that you probably don't want to bother setting this up. -Dom ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

RE: [Zope] Microsoft SQL Server Access under Linux?
Check out this ODBC-ODBC bridge: http://linuxpr.com/releases/430.html I have not tried it, but it does seem to do what you want. "The ODBC-ODBC Bridge is a package of libraries which provide applications on Linux with access to ODBC data sources on remote machines. Examples of using the ODBC-ODBC Bridge are: Apache/PHP + the ODBC-ODBC Bridge (running on Linux) to read/write data held in Microsoft SQLServer on NT. Perl + DBI + DBD:ODBC + the ODBC-ODBC Bridge (running on Linux) to read/write data held in a Microsoft Access database on NT. As above but with Python's mxODBC, RExx/SQL or any C application. Access from StarOffice or Applixware on Linux to remote ODBC databases. Access to any remote ODBC compliant driver."

[Zope] Microsoft SQL Server Access under Linux?
Darin asked: Is it possible to access an ODBC data source through Zope running under Linux? I'm getting ready to test such a solution this week. First, we'll try : ODBC Socket Server http://odbc.linuxave.net/ and the accompanying Python Client. This will require some coding, and wrapping the Python Client as an External Method. ODBC Socket Server isn't the most generic approach I've seen, but it is about as simple as such stuff can get. If that one doesn't pan out, it's on to : SQLRelay http://www.firstworks.com/site/pages/html/frames.html which is more generic, and even has a Zope Database Adapter. My fallback plan, assuming insurmountable snags with the first two attempts is: FreeTDS http://www.freetds.org/ which is SQL Server specific, and so the least generic of all. Then, if all else fails, we'll have to look at the OpenLink (for $) stuff. OpenLinkhttp://www.openlinksw.com/ I'll let you know how it goes.

Re: [Zope] Generic Workflow Products?
Sounds like a job for Zope, doesn't it. Basically I've implemented a couple of systems like this, either classic database-driven or z-class driven. But I'm tired of re-inventing the wheel. It would be nicer if systems like this could be implemented at the "workflow logic" level rather than the Zclass level. IE a set of ZClasses or Product classes that implemented workflow systems. Is there such a thing? Has anyone worked on such a thing? Any ideas how to implement such a thing? I've got a couple of modifications to an existing system coming up, which sounds like just the excuse I need for a total rewrite :) -- cary There are several workflow activites within Zope that I know of: PTK has and "implicit" workflow support for moving documents in a review process. Unfortunately workflow hangs off of the documents from what I saw of its design patterns. Not a good design if a workflow step involves multiple documents and the execution of applications on data. Several Zope sites have some kind of workflow for what they do. There is a mesh healing (CAD/CAM) Zope based application service provider (ASP) that comes to mind. There is an standards based (WFMC -- workflow management coalition, www.wfmc.org) Zope product that really has seen no progress since early this year - see openflow.sourceforge.net You might consider marrying a workflow engine like Staffware's to Zope. This marriage may be easier if they support SWAP (simple workflow access protocol see www.ics.uci.edu/~ietfswap). Staffware has indicated that they will (are) supporting SWAP. We are a company, vPatch, that is building web-based workflow that can run apps for the oil and gas industry. Our current system uses tclets to display workflow graphically, but we are going to Java. It would be nice to work on a good set of (standards based) design patterns for workflow and implement them in Zope. In my mind these patterns would consider pluggable workflow engines like Staffware's using SWAP.

The latest SiteAccess is packaged a little differently from most other products. Most products are created with the idea that you will untar them in your Zope directory, adn they will put themselves in lib/python/Products/ProductName. SiteAccess just puts itself in the directory SiteAccess. Therefore, you need to untar the siteaccess archive in your lib/python/Products directory. Seeing as you've already done this, you can simply move the SiteAccess folder from one level below your Zope installation folder, and put it in your Products folder. The reason SiteAccess is this way is that it provudes better compatibility with using INSTANCE_HOME to share a single bunch of code between many Zope instances. From the CHANGES.txt file: * The tarball no longer includes 'lib/python/Products' in file paths. It must be unpacked in the Products directory, for better compatibility with INSTANCE_HOME installations. -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box limited http://www.cat-box.net ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

HTTP is a connection less protocol (to be precise, HTTP 1.0). Thus, a priori, there is no notion of connection: A user is only connected to the server for the duration of a single request. The connection is closed as soon as the request is completed. Zope 2.2 has a facility in its Control Panel where you can see, how much requests are currently in work. This gives you the 'currently' connected users. To get more information, you would analyse ZServer's log file: "var/Z2.log". It contains an entry for each HTTP request. There are tools to analyse such a log file. Search the mailing list's archive for suggestions for such tools.

[Zope] Simple Directory of URLs problem (Waaa)
Roug Installing your Simple Directory of URLs gives me this message when I start up Zope on window98. "that is not valid. This should never happen. (Waaa)." There is something wrong with the permissions I guess but I can't see the error message it generates because either I'm stupid or MS DOS PROMPT is to short on lines. If it was Linux I could at least have scrolled upwards to see the whole error message. I can see that the error must occur in PermissionMapping.py I run Zope 2.2.1b1 on Windows98. The tgz file I downloaded contained three files. __init__.py, version.txt and product.dat. Is that correct? The problem is, that I can't see or Add the Simple URL object from my Add dropdown list. Why is that? I have so far never had any problems with this setup. (I think) It is a development server, so I can knock it off and start again if I have to.

Dieter, Yes, I have, and I spent hours tearing apart my site thinking I'd seriously screwed-up when suddenly all my images refused to load. But that was just on my Solaris 2.6 server. PCs and even Macs render my pages beautifully. It's just Netscape Communicator for Solaris that causes a problem. I don't have a clue. But, I can tell you why your logs wouldn't be showing up. Netscape caches images so that it doesn't have to keep reloading them from the server. If it's reading a cached image, you won't see an entry in the server log.

Currently, it seems Zserver is winning I do not understand, what I see... At work: Zope 2.1.6, Sparc Solaris 2.7, Linux Netscape 4.51 Sometimes, images are not shown by Netscape (broken image). No "simple" reload is able to change this, however a "forced" reload lets Netscape show the image correctly. From then on, the image is always shown correctly: by "simple" reload, "forced" reload or directly (served from cache). The strange thing, inside "Image.index_html" the failing "simple" reload and the succeeding "forced" reload look completely identical. At home: Zope 2.1.6, Intel Linux 2, Linux Netscape 4.5 All images are always shown correctly. However, there is no log entry in "var/Z2.log" for about 50 % of the requests that are answered by a 304 response. It is non-deterministic whether a log entry is written or not.

[Zope] Product creation question
I've created a product called BasicDocument. I've installed it and it works
great.
I've also created a folderish product. Installed. When a user selects
that product from the
available objects list, thus creating an instance of that product,
they have an option to
create sub folders which contain objects like dtml documents,
dtml methods, and my BasicDocument product
(very similar to what happens when you instantiate a folder object,
you can have a dtml method created in the new folder).
I am able to have the manage_addSimpleSite function to create DTMLDocument,
DTMLMethod and Folder objects but I am unable to have the function create
BasicDocuments (which live in the Products directory) additionally, I am
unbale to it create any Products from the Products directory,
such as Local File System?
The code below works great, I get a dtml document, two folders
each with a dtml method in them
