MoinMoin Projects

• /HttpAuthentication (see ograf@bitart.de--2004-local/moin--newauth--1.3)

  • restarted in a moin--main--1.3 branch

  • WikiRpc needs auth, too

    • Auth is global for the wiki, controlled by the may stuff. So if RPC is protected with may, http auth will kick in. Think of it as a replacement for the login form.

      • it is userobj.trusted currently

• MoinMoinTodo/ConcurrencyIssues

• /BlurpSearch a better search macro for Category* pages

• FriendofaFriend

  • sounds quite interesting...

• /MonthCalendar

  • out of a need... for moin--main--1.2 with some changes to styling.

• /VimColor

• /ArgumentParser

• /MemoryCache

  • thinkthing

• /DtmlThemeSupport

  • thinkthing

• Inherit Parent Page ACLs: I've made up a small patch against moin--main--1.3--patch-293. Set acl_inherit_parent=1 in config to enable. inherit-parent-acl.diff

Old stuff is in the /ProjectAttic

Messages to me

I have been using your version of MonthCalendar. I was not 100% satisfied, so I made some small changes. Please have a look at it. You can find it at my personal page. Perhaps you may want to incorporate some of the things in your version. -- PeterKleiweg 2004-08-13 23:19:18

Dear Oliver
I will need some help with the parser from my processor. Is a parser now callable from a different place as the first line? Best for me would be a simple example how to get a parameter into a parser. Additional to this I will have a look to call it as macro too. -- ReimarBauer 2004-09-28 18:03:34

• Parsers get their arguments as processors do, if used in a processor context. In global context the args are allowed just after the #FORMAT XXX pragma, like processors get them on the hash-bang line. But keep cool, wait for 1.3 to be released. Through changing this one to a Macro is still better, I think

  • Sorry, forgot the examples: ColorizeTest and FormatTest. For code look into tla head. parser/python.py should be a good example.

Oliver,

I've followed your newauth work (/HttpAuthentication) because I want to use my existing HTTP authentication with Moin.

I use Moin 1.3, set auth_http_enbled, & confirmed the environment contains AUTH_TYPE=Basic & REMOTE_USER=me@REALM. However, I see no change in Moin's behavior. I want my changes identified with my username & to avoid notification of my own changes. I tried creating a user profile for my username, but Moin won't accept the "@" character (someone else noticed this problem - SecurityProposals).

I learned just enough arch to check out your newauth repository, hoping it might be helpful, but haven't figured out where to start. What I checked out seems out of date, & I haven't learned enough arch to check out your branch against the latest version of Moin.

I guess I want to know how your newauth stuff is coming & if it can now (or with a little work by me) be used to map illegal usernames (me@REALM) to user profiles?

Thanks! - Jack <ms419@freezone.co.uk>

• The branch is not ready yet. And it might not be what you want, cause its primary intent is not to map http server auth to moin auth, but to do http auth within moin. -- OliverGraf 2004-12-15 07:57:17

  • Thanks Oliver! What I want is to integrate Moin into my SSO Kerberos environment. I'm very excited by your newauth work's promise; HTTP server authentication is just a stopgap until newauth is ready.

    However, as Alex pointed out, Moin doesn't support Kerberos usernames (or Negotiate AUTH_TYPE), & I'd sooner contribute to newauth than patch HTTP server authentication.

    Unfortunately, I hadn't heard of TLA until Moin, so I'm struggling to check out the newauth changes against the latest version of Moin. Maybe you could save me some time & say if it's possible? Or point me at some newauth code that works, & some that hasn't been written?

    Thanks again! - Jack <ms419@freezone.co.uk>

    • Even if it will work to merge newauth against 1.3 head, you won't get anything from it, cause there is not much in there... -- OliverGraf 2004-12-16 11:18:47

• You might want to do that fast because many people stumble over it.

• Agree there - started to do a rewrite at NigelMetheringham/ApacheWithModPython using the simplest form I could find. I have not, however, managed to find a decent way of doing root based installation, although I think I now have a solution to that. Feel free to steal from it - I tested the whole lot through (with caveats in the pink background comments). I'm aiming to work on finishing this off in the next few days. -- -- NigelMetheringham 2004-12-30 20:01:48

Salut Oliver,

Do you know if your patch "Inherit Parent Page ACLs" will be integrated in the next MoinMoin release? Just tried to apply it to the current release (1.3), and it's not working (Page.py changed a bit, and probably the other files as well). If you have an uptodate version... ?

-- OlivierMueller 2005-03-03 11:40:00

• No. I don't know. -- OliverGraf 2005-03-07 06:47:08

Moin Oliver,

if you have some minutes, could you please modify the java source and rebuild the Twikidraw binary with the following change:

In MoinMoin.request.run, we currently need to have a special case checking filepath and noredirect form keys to detect when twikidraw wants to save a drawing.

This would be much more clean, if twikidraw posted additionally some action=AttachFile&do=savedrawing (for example), so that this code could get moved to AttachFile.py and would be handled by the generic action handler (some lines below in request.py).

BTW, we switched to hg, see MoinDev/MercurialGuide.

Thanks,

-- ThomasWaldmann 2006-05-05 09:02:41
