 |
|
HI!
Find a new release of web2ldap on
http://www.web2ldap.de/download.html
Well, 10 years after the first public release (formerly called
ldap-client-cgi) it was time for 1.0. ;-)
About:
web2ldap is a full-featured LDAPv3 client written in Python and designed
to run as a stand-alone Web gateway or under the control of a web server
with FastCGI or SCGI support (e.g., Apache with mod_fastcgi or mod_scgi).
Ciao, Michael.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.0.0 (see http://www.web2ldap.de/changes-1.0.html)
Release Date: 2008-09-03
* It is now possible to specify a set of named templates for basic
search forms with parameter searchform_template which appear in
the context menu when displaying a search form.
* When renaming an entry the new superior DN can be searched. The
possible candidates are then displayed als select list. Also see
new host-/backend-specific parameter rename_supsearchurl which
is a named set of LDAP URLs to specify how to search for a new
superior DN.
* Support for DIT structures rules and nameforms:
o When adding a new entry the DIT structures rules applicable to
the parent entry are used to determine the set of possible
structural object classes for the new entry when displaying
the object class select form.
o Possible name forms are displayed as RDN template strings in
the [Rename] input form if there are any defined for the
structural object class of the entry.
o When renaming an entry the filter for searching the new
superior DN is suggested according to the governing structure
rule for the entry to be renamed.
* Improvements to plugin modules/classes:
o Placeholders can now be appended at the end of the DN portion
of DynamicValueSelectList.ldap_url and are substituted by
entry's current DN, entry's parent or the best matching naming
context.
o New plugin module dhcp for draft-ietf-dhc-ldap-schema.
* Improvements in schema browser:
o A certain type of schema elements can be selected in the
context menu.
o Simple wildcard search is supported on OIDs and NAMEs with
asterisk (*) being placed at the begin and/or end of the
search string.
o Better error handling in the schema viewer when displaying a
matching rule in case an attribute type is referenced in an
attribute type description as SUP which is not present in the
subschema.
* Adding another attribute value in the entry input form for a
textual attribute is now done with an additional submit button
[+] which results in an additional input field being displayed
for the chosen attribute type. The advantage is that the
additional input field is generated by an accompanying plugin
class if possible.
* The monitor page can now be restricted by source IP. See new
parameter access_allowed in the monitor configuration module.
* In the monitor page the number of all web sessions initialized
since start up is displayed.
* A warning message is displayed (instead of exception being
raised) if the user did not choose a STRUCTURAL object class
when adding a new entry.
* Small improvements in cert/CRL viewer:
o If the subject- or issuer DN of a cert/CRL contains characters
not valid for the given ASN.1 string type the viewer now falls
back to display the invalid characters in hex-escaped form
(instead of raising UnicodeError).
o The OIDs of attribute types used in subject and issuer names
are displayed.
