RE: VCL CAS SSO

[Joseph Fischetti]

Josh,
I actually gave that presentation about 2 weeks ago!  Funny that it showed up.

I wouldn't think CAS support would pose that big of a problem, it should be 
'easy enough' to integrate phpCAS into the authentication flow...  The 
Shibboleth integration works great for us, but considering I have all the 
different pieces at my disposal, I would be happy to look into it.  Just don't 
put a timeframe on it!

Hi Junaid,

Thanks for your interest in adding CAS authentication support!

I just found this presentation Joe Fischetti did about a year ago:

https://nercomp.org/uploadFiles/2E62700AD.filename.Marist-SSO_IDMV2.pdf

I only skimmed it and didn't see anything about VCL specifically, but Joe is 
one of the VCL admins at Marist.  So, he may be able to provide some insight.

I also just created a JIRA issue last week to track some changes I started 
working on to make authentication more modular.  I hope to have a good chunk 
committed within the next few weeks.  The basic idea is to make each 
authentication method a class built on a base class.  I added comments to the 
JIRA issue to describe what I have come up with so far.

[jira] [Commented] (VCL-1041) Customer facing email notifications are ugly

Andy,
All good points.

I know I'm not part of the design team, but if it's low enough priority and 
nobody else is into working on it, I'll work on the things you noted and submit 
as patches.

Agreed that there's little concern for code injection, admins have admin access 
already, and there is already a method for escaping the SQL query.

I can use a check for the existence of an html opening tag to dictate whether 
or not an email is sent as html.  How high of a priority is user preference?  
I've noticed that many of the emails that I'm subscribed to have been getting 
away from that option in the last few years anyway.

As for wysiwyg, does dojo have a provision for it?  I'm not extremely familiar 
with everything that it provides.

It's generally not helpful to dump pages and pages of logs hoping for 
assistance.  Furthermore, this really belongs in the user mailing list.

That said, it looks like your management node is trying to capture an image of 
itself. At some point while adding computers, you specified a guest machine 
with 127.0.0.1.  That's no good.

What does your installation look like?  Are all 3 vcl components on the same 
server?  And what provisioning method are you using?

I guess this belongs here, not sure how to link them.

I have working changes, if it's possible to submit them to someone.

> The backend code sends various messages to users.  Examples:
> * Email when reservation is ready
> * Email when image capture is complete or delayed
> * Terminal notification when a Linux reservation is about to timeout
> All of the messages are hard-coded in the backend code.  It would be an

> Proposed solution:
> A database table named *usermessage* would be added to the schema.  It would, 
> at a minimum, contain:
> * id
> * key
> * affiliationid
> * deliverymethod
> * subject
> * message
> The *id* field is not absolutely necessary but keeps with the structure of 
> most other tables in the schema.
> The *key* field would be a unique identifier string which is more convenient 
> to use than a simple integer.  For example, _reservationready_ could 
> correspond to the message sent to a user when the Connect button appears.  
> The backend code could call something like {code}my ($subject, $message) =

> using the _global_ affiliation.  Users would be sent these by default unless 
> a message exists specific to their affiliation.

> {code}my ($subject, $message) = get_user_message('reservationready', 
> $user_affiliation_id, 'sms');{code}
> The backend code and database are fairly straightforward to implement.  A web

> modify the messages.
> There needs to be a mechanism to specify variables in the subject and message 
> fields so the backend can dynamically generate the message with the correct

Front end, utils.php at line 3426:  This line strips out html tags from an 
input.  It's called in processInputVar.

processInputVar is called from AJsaveMessages, siteconfig.php line 2928.

Could create a new function: processMessageBody which doesn't.

Joseph Fischetti created VCL-1041:
-

 Summary: Ccustomer facing email notifications are ugly
 Key: VCL-1041
 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-1041
 Project: VCL
  Issue Type: Improvement
  Components: vcld (backend), web gui (frontend)
Affects Versions: 2.5
 Environment: All
Reporter: Joseph Fischetti
Priority: Minor
 Fix For: 2.5


By default, emails sent from the management mode don't have any special 
formatting.  To an end-user, they look more like an unrefined system message 
than official communication.
