We probably should just have the imports for nis and crypt reside in the
classes that use them, and then just catch the ImportError and do the right
thing if it doesn't exist.
Yeah, I think that would be a good idea. Maybe everyone using
ReviewBoard on Windows is using builtin authentication? Or maybe
that's pretty unlikely... can you even use ActiveDirectory on Linux?
I got past that point by ripping out the NIS authentication from
backends.py, but discovered a bug in the AD authentication:
except ldap.SERVER_DOWN:
logging.warning('Active Directory: Domain controller
is down - host: %s port: %s' % (host, port))
continue
Neither host nor port are valid in that scope. I would send a patch,
but I don't really know what I should be printing out. I'll have to
get help from our admin to figure out how to setup ActiveDirectory
properly.

16.14 nis -- Interface to Sun's NIS (Yellow Pages)
Availability: UNIX.
The nis module gives a thin wrapper around the NIS library, useful for
central administration of several hosts.
Because NIS exists only on Unix systems, this module is only available
for Unix.
I wonder if that code can be conditionally excluded when running on
Windows?
I am tempted to install an SVN version of RB and edit the backends.py
to take out the NIS-style authentication since I think it has no hope
of working on Windows.

Is the AD backend code Unix only or something along those lines? Or

What you could try for now is backing up the database file, make your
AD changes, and restoring the file if it breaks. But, until the crypt
issue is fixed, you won't be able to use AD.

Re: How do I switch back to account authentication?
Hi Jeremy.
From the exception, it sounds like you don't have the crypt module.
What version of Python are you running and how did you install it?
If you can look for some missing crypt model, you may be able to fix
this quickly and log in again. If not, I'll work up a small set of
instructions to reset your auth backend.

I'm using sqlite3.
