Versioned connectors from ZODB
by Etienne Labuschagne 13 Jul '05

13 Jul '05

If I get a versioned connection from the ZODB: conn = Zope.DB.open(version="myVersion") root = conn.root() app = root['Application'] # do some stuff get_transaction().commit() conn.close() Are the changes now in a version? How do I get those changes rolled into the "trunk" version of the ZODB? I guess all objects changed in the version will now be "locked" to that version until I apply the version changes to the trunk? Thanks Etienne

Re: [Zope] ldap authentication with apache or LDAPUserFolder?
by Tim Suter 12 Jul '05

12 Jul '05

Sorry Marco the reply to all button eluded me once again: I deleted the access file and recreated it so I could get ready to delete all instances of the old LDAPUserFolder. This has to been done prior to migration of Data.fs as the new Zope 2.8 isn't compatible with the old LDAPUserFolder. Now, after commenting out the apache lines below: #<location /Zope> #AuthName "Knowledge Access" #AuthType Basic #AuthLDAPURL ldap://X.X.org:389/o=X.org?uid?sub? (objectClass=person) #require group cn=caitstaff,ou=Groups,o=X.org #</location> I can type in the URL for the knowledge base and it takes me straight to the index_html page without authentication unlike before. However, after clicking the Manage Zope link, then you must enter in credentials, in order to access the ZMI of which the root folder contains the acl_users folder with the LDAPUserFolder configuration. Does this tell me that LDAPUserFolder is being handed the credentials via apache through some sort of redirect?

Customizing Zope FTP server
by Thierry FLORAC 12 Jul '05

12 Jul '05

Hi, I'm currently working on a Zope site, providing FTP access to some of it's sub-folders. My questions are : - is it possible to customise Zope FTP server so that a specific banner and a specific message are displayed on login ? - is it possible to "redirect" a user to a specific folder after a successful connection ? Thanks for any help, Thierry

Yes, forgot that caveat. For large files, 'data' can return a "Pdata", a list of strings. For small files, it returns a string. Always doing 'str' is a good idea. --jcc -- "Building Websites with Plone" http://plonebook.packtpub.com/ Enfold Systems, LLC http://www.enfoldsystems.com

Python Scripts
by Dennis Allison 11 Jul '05

11 Jul '05

We have been seeing a number of instances where python scripts fail due to an apparent "syntax error" but the syntax is correct and simply storing the method restores it to functionality.

Is there any way to configure multi-headed Zopes running on different machines but sharing the same ZEO to log to the same file (in time order would also be nice...)? -- Dennis Allison * Computer Systems Laboratory * Gates 227 * Stanford University * Stanford CA 94305 * (650) 723-9213 * (650) 723-0033 fax * allison(a)shasta.stanford.edu * allison(a)sumeru.stanford.edu

undo many things
by Rakotomandimby (R12y) Mihamina 11 Jul '05

11 Jul '05

Hi, If I want to undo a very early action, I have to also undo all the actions done after the one I want to undo. The problem is that the action to undo is 4 pages earlier, so that I want to one time check all the actions of the 4 last pages. How to manage it? Thank you :-) -- Miroir de logiciels libres http://www.etud-orleans.fr Développement de logiciels libres http://aspo.rktmb.org/activites/developpement Infogerance de serveur dédié http://aspo.rktmb.org/activites/infogerance (En louant les services de l'ASPO vous luttez contre la fracture numerique)

ldap authentication with apache or LDAPUserFolder?
by Tim Suter 11 Jul '05

11 Jul '05

As some of you know, I am working on an installation of Zope/Zwiki. What I have inherited is a 2.5.1 Zope/Zwiki on a Debian box. I am wanting to move the data from the 2.5.1 to a 2.8. But here's the situation. At the root of the 2.5.1 install there is an acl_users folder that appears to be the LDAPUserFolder authentication mechanism. However, upon looking at the apache config on my Debian box you see this: <VirtualHost X.X.org:80> <location /Zope> AuthName "Knowledge Access" AuthType Basic AuthLDAPURL ldap://X.X.org:389/o=X.org?uid?sub?(objectClass=person) require group cn=caitstaff,ou=Groups,o=X.org </location> DocumentRoot /var/www ServerName X.X.org RedirectMatch ^/$ /Zope/ RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*) RewriteRule ^/Zope/(.*) /usr/lib/cgi-bin/Zope/$1 [e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l] </VirtualHost> I am trying to figure out what is authenticating the user, LDAPUserFolder or the AuthLDAP in Apache? In the root folder of the 2.5.1 install, there is our knowledge folder, argyle, inventory, a public folder. Those are the custom folders we created. The Zope install folders are the control panel, temp_folder, Tutorial, test. There is an acl_users folder, but it is not the original and has the LDAPUserFolder configuration in it. After authentication, the user is directed to the index_html which is in the root folder. The links present on this page point to our available knowledge bases (the custom folders we created). As well, it has a manage Zope link. Only certain users can access this link. Anyone authenticated to the knowledge bases though, can add, edit or delete content. This is the preferred method of this application as we want all users here to be able to openly collaborate. I need to authenticate the same way on the new install as the old one. Here is the dilemma though. On the new install of 2.8, it rests on an RHEL4 server. On this apache, I have to use authZLDAP as there is a documented bug with RedHat for the AuthLDAP. There are years of data collected in this knowledge base that I don't want to lose. So I am being about as careful as I can be...maybe too careful. So, question wise...I am wondering what authentication to use. I know that LDAPUserFolder appears to be the way to go, but I don't know if that is what is actually happening. By the looks of the above apache configuration, could there be some sort of redirection happening? Tim
