I've got the latest-ish review board running on a centos 7 system: ReviewBoard-2.5.2-2.el7.noarch
The basic Review Board page loads. I want to configure authentication so that I can use PAM. I see some 'old' posts that talk about PAM and LDAP using the same code and but I don't see that code in the new 2.x release. I wanted to take a stab at rolling my own auth module but I am just not having much luck. Not sure if it is my non-existiant python knowledge or if it is incomplete examples. A lot of stuff I read on Review Board seems to be written to a group where you assume that they have been doing python for years. For example... there is this: https://www.reviewboard.org/docs/manual/dev/extending/extensions/hooks/auth-backend-hook/ which looks pretty.. and you go great... that's what I need to start with... but how, exactly does a new python / Review Board person use this? I googled some stuff and found some magic command: ./contrib/tools/generate_extension.py PamAuthBackend --class-name=PamAuthBackend --package-name=pam_auth_backend --author="Jack Snodgrass" --description="Pam Auth" --is-configurable that lets me me create a stub of sorts. I edited the pam_auth_backend/extension.py file that I ended up with and put in the code from the https://www.reviewboard.org/docs/manual/dev/extending/extensions/hooks/auth-backend-hook/ page. I changed it a bit and ended up with: # PamAuthBackend Extension for Review Board. from __future__ import unicode_literals from django.conf import settings from django.conf.urls import patterns, include from reviewboard.extensions.base import Extension from reviewboard.accounts.backends import AuthBackend from reviewboard.extensions.hooks import AuthBackendHook class PamAuthBackend(AuthBackend): backend_id = 'myvendor_sample_auth' name = 'Sample Authentication' def authenticate(self, username, password): if username == 'superuser' and password == 's3cr3t': return self.get_or_create_user(username, password=password) return None def get_or_create_user(self, username, request=None, password=None): user, is_new = User.objects.get_or_create(username=username) if is_new: user.set_unusable_password() user.save() return user class SampleExtension(Extension): def initialize(self): AuthBackendHook(self, PamAuthBackend) if I run the command python setup.py develop and get my PamAuthBackend.egg-info generated.. after restarting apache I get: Something broke! (Error 500) It appears something broke when you tried to go to here. This is either a bug in Review Board or a server configuration error. Please report this to your administrator. .... which surprisingly... is not very helpful. I know almost 0 about python but python setup.py install seems to be something that gets run a lot... so in this case I ran it to see what happens and I get: . . . . File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/distutils/cmd.py", line 326, in run_command self.distribution.run_command(command) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/distutils/dist.py", line 972, in run_command cmd_obj.run() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/djblets/extensions/packaging.py", line 154, in run self._build_static_media(extension) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/djblets/extensions/packaging.py", line 169, in _build_static_media self._add_bundle(pipeline_js, extension.js_bundles, 'js', '.js') AttributeError: type object 'PamAuthBackend' has no attribute 'js_bundles' .... is this install command 'supposed' to work... or is this why I get the unexplained 500 error after doing python setup.py develop and creating my 'egg' package? can someone help me out and provide an EXACT list of commands / files to run that will get me setup with the stuff from: https://www.reviewboard.org/docs/manual/dev/extending/extensions/hooks/auth-backend-hook/ so that I can then look at modifying it.
