Updated LDAPAdapter product available
by Dr. Ross Lazarus 21 Oct '99

21 Oct '99

If you have a (http://www.csee.uq.edu.au/~leonard/dc-prj/ldapmodule/) working ldapmodule and a working ldap server, you might be interested in a revised version of a Zope product called LDAPAdapter (http://www.zope.org/Members/rossl/LDAPAdapter) which was hacked from the IMAPAdapter. It acts like an acl_users folder but allows authentication from an LDAP server. More usefully, it also grabs the names of the groups the user happens to be in and adds them to the user's roles (plus, LDAP of course) - this potentially allows you to manage zope roles (and thus access to zope objects) through your ldap groups. Seemed like a good idea to me anyway. It's only been lightly tested so please report bugs or success to rossl(a)med.usyd.edu.au Note, this is a bugfix release - users of 0.0.1 are strongly advised to update due to a security hole which has been plugged.... -- Dr Ross Lazarus Associate Professor and Sub-Dean for Information Technology Faculty of Medicine, Room 126A, A27, University of Sydney, Camperdown, NSW 2006, Australia Tel: (+61 2) 93514429 Mobile: +61414872482 Fax: (+61 2) 93516646 Email: rossl(a)med.usyd.edu.au http://www.health.usyd.edu.au/people/rossl.htm

Q: Performance, ZODB3, etc. for an Open Source Projekt (Tracking System)
by Oliver Andrich 21 Oct '99

21 Oct '99

Hi, some times ago I asked for some advice on implementing a problem/request tracking system. Back then I received a very, very good and stimulating answer. And I started to design the system using some ZClasses, a ZCatalog based search interface and everything else Zope provides for a document based tracking system. This went all very fine and the performance was ok for the first take of the project. So I made the "biggest" mistake in my life - I did a presentation and so on for my boss. He was very impressed and thought that this could be the tool of choice to replace all the various tracking and calendar applications we use in our company. Ok, I thought for round about 100 users Zope on a big machine would be ok and started to implement a first prototype. Well, today my boss discovered, that a lot of ISP offer such a thing for their customers. That means all our customers can use the system for personal Todomanager, calendar application and so on. Various people and commercial customers should be using it as a basis for a collaborative task manager and so on. Ok, our sales is keen on offering such a thingy and this is basically ok. But I, the poor guy who has to develope this thing, have some questions and doubts. Well, I think I should outline the features. The system is a ... - job/request/task/problem tracking system with follow ups - collaborative workgroups should be possible - calendar application (yes, ZClient cron scritps will be required) - users should be able to create subfolders and filters for incoming tasks - multilingual!!!!!!!!!! Is clear what I am about to do? Well, some people might know PTS or Keepstone. I have to develope a better version of these systems or something that fits our needs more then these systems do. Ok, this looks as a Zope application of choice and yes I will use Zope in any case, but .... - What happens if round about 3000 users use the system for work and appointment? This is means round about 6000 to 9000 new documents (ZClasses with ZCatalog support) per day. - I will face 1500 concurrent users, which will access quite a complex Zope application. - How safe is ZODB3 in such an environment? A lot of transactions will happen on this system!!!! Users, ZClient scripts, etc. pp. - Is it possible to split/multiplex a Zopeserver? - Has anybody experience with synchronizing/replacating several Zopeservers? Well I basically like the idea of a pure Zope solution, and I thought that it is perfect for round about 100 users which create roundabout 500-2000 new documents per day. But with this requirements and user number I have some problems to think of a pure Zope solution. I would prefer a Zope frontend for a SQL database. Or am I wrong with my assumption and Zope is much more powerful, then I believe it to be? I can think of a farm of Zopeservers which access a single SQL database server or so, the Zoepservers update the application by retrieving it from a master Zope server and so on. This is something I can imagine. But what about a pure Zope solution? Yes, some might think. Why doesn't this guy go and buy consulting contract from Zope company. Well, the problem is that my company will offer this service as a goody for our customers for free. So no immediate money will be created by the project. And we will release the complete application and so on as an Open Source application, cause we heavily depend on Open Source software as an ISP and so we can give something back to community. If people request support, we will sell support contracts, but we won't charge money for the product or the documentation. So I try to get my answers through the usual Open Source channels. ;-))) Best regards, Oliver -- Oliver Andrich, KEVAG Telekom GmbH, Schlossstrasse 42, D-56068 Koblenz Telefon: 0261-3921027 / Fax: 0261-3921033 / Web: http://rhein-zeitung.de

Urm.

I'm new to Zope, so fumbling around in teh documentation has been.. difficult. I pulled down the banner ad package to see 1) If it suited our needs and 2) how difficult adding packages was going to be. It's in a .zexp file, which I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to import. Can someone step by step me?

Clicking "Edit" doesn't help with code changes to those modules. I have even introduced deliberate errors into those modules, only to have them run just fine (until the server is restarted). I've also tried flushing ZOPE's cache. This problem has nothing to do with ZOPE directly - it's a Python interpreter thing. Yet it makes developing external code in ZOPE annoying.

RE: [Zope] Trapping Login's
by Chris McDonough 21 Oct '99

Dan, Are you using Medusa (the Zope-supplied web server)? And are you using HTTP basic authentication (popup login)? If so, use the Z2.log file it generates to see who has logged in and when... the user login name is one of the fields in the log. I might be tempted to use a cron job and a Z2.log parsing script to mail a login summary to me on a periodic basis instead of doing that job through Zope... -----Original Message----- From: Dan Rusch To: zope(a)zope.org Sent: 10/21/99 2:58 PM Subject: [Zope] Trapping Login's Hey all, Does anyone know of a way to "hook" into the login of zope powered site so that I can "log" who has logged in and when. Additionally, I want to set up a notification system for the beta phase of a project so that I get notified if a user logs in (I can handle the notification part via e-mail, just looking for a trigger method). The only thing I can think of is to have all users URL to the same place and login there.

problems with manage_clone
by Oliver Frommel 21 Oct '99

21 Oct '99

Hi, my Folders look like this: /templ/link (DTML Doc) /m945/process (DTML Meth) /subfolder one thing I try do do for testing is to clone the "link" object with the "process" method which looks like this: <dtml-with sendung> <dtml-call "manage_clone(link, 'new_id', REQUEST)"> </dtml-with> After reading the Acquisition docs and the Namespace HowTo i thought that the namespace stack of "process" would contain the root folder and the "templ" folder too. But when i run the "process" method i get the following error: Error Type: NameError Error Value: link do I have to put the "link" object into the root folder? assuming i get this to work how can i then clone a new object to the "subfolder"?? Is there a way to provide manage_clone() with dest. object with a certain namespace? Thanks Oliver
