Fix default_server configuration in ipapython.config

2012-05-24T11:59:23+00:00

When default server was being parsed from IPA's default.conf
configuration file, the parsed server was not appended correctly to
the default_server list.

Replace DNS client based on acutil with python-dns

2012-05-24T11:55:56+00:00

IPA client and server tool set used authconfig acutil module to
for client DNS operations. This is not optimal DNS interface for
several reasons:
- does not provide native Python object oriented interface
  but but rather C-like interface based on functions and
  structures which is not easy to use and extend
- acutil is not meant to be used by third parties besides
  authconfig and thus can break without notice

Replace the acutil with python-dns package which has a feature rich
interface for dealing with all different aspects of DNS including
DNSSEC. The main target of this patch is to replace all uses of
acutil DNS library with a use python-dns. In most cases, even
though the larger parts of the code are changed, the actual
functionality is changed only in the following cases:
- redundant DNS checks were removed from verify_fqdn function
  in installutils to make the whole DNS check simpler and
  less error-prone. Logging was improves for the remaining
  checks
- improved logging for ipa-client-install DNS discovery

Remove duplicate and unused utility code

2012-05-09T09:54:20+00:00

IPA has some unused code from abandoned features (Radius, ipa 1.x user
input, commant-line tab completion), as well as some duplicate utilities.
This patch cleans up the utility modules.

Duplicate code consolidated into ipapython.ipautil:
    {ipalib.util,ipaserver.ipautil,ipapython.ipautil}.realm_to_suffix
    {ipaserver,ipapython}.ipautil.CIDict
            (with style improvements from the ipaserver version)
    {ipapython.entity,ipaserver.ipautil}.utf8_encode_value
    {ipapython.entity,ipaserver.ipautil}.utf8_encode_values

ipalib.util.get_fqdn was removed in favor of the same function in
ipaserver.install.installutils

Removed unused code:
    ipalib.util:
        load_plugins_in_dir
        import_plugins_subpackage
        make_repr (was imported but unused; also removed from tests)

    ipapython.ipautil:
        format_list
        parse_key_value_pairs
        read_pairs_file
        read_items_file
        user_input_plain
        AttributeValueCompleter
        ItemCompleter

    ipaserver.ipautil:
        get_gsserror (a different version exists in ipapython.ipautil)

ipaserver.ipautil ended up empty and is removed entirely.

Configure certmonger to execute restart scripts on renewal.

2012-04-10T05:08:41+00:00

certmonger now has the ability to execute a script when it renews a
certificate. This can be used to automatically restart servers so
the certificate doesn't expire in the running server.

Parse zone indices in IPv6 addresses in CheckedIPAddress.

2012-03-27T10:03:16+00:00

If a zone index is present in an IPv6 address, it is ignored.

Wait for child process to terminate after receiving SIGINT in ipautil.run.

2012-03-23T09:53:02+00:00

Do cleanup on KeyboardInterrupt rather than in custom SIGINT handler in
ipa-replica-conncheck.

Fix NSS no_init in the NSSHTTPS class

2012-03-05T01:03:21+00:00

Do kinit in client before connecting to backend

2012-03-04T22:23:01+00:00

The client installer was failing because a backend connection could be
created before a kinit was done.

Allow multiple simultaneous connections. This could fail with an NSS
shutdown error when the second connection was created (objects still
in use). If all connections currently use the same database then there
is no need to initialize, let it be skipped.

Add additional logging to client installer.

Add support defaultNamingContext and add --basedn to migrate-ds

2012-02-29T14:28:13+00:00

There are two sides to this, the server and client side.

On the server side we attempt to add a defaultNamingContext on already
installed servers. This will fail on older 389-ds instances but the
failure is not fatal. New installations on versions of 389-ds that
support this attribute will have it already defined.

On the client side we need to look for both defaultNamingContext and
namingContexts. We still need to check that the defaultNamingContext
is an IPA server (info=IPAV2).

The migration change also takes advantage of this and adds a new
option which allows one to provide a basedn to use instead of trying
to detect it.

Make sure the nolog argument to ipautil.run is not a bare string

2012-02-27T04:26:54+00:00

ipautil.run expects a tuple of passwords for nolog; passing a
single string causes all individual letters from that string to
be replaced by Xes.

This fixes such a call, and adds a sanity check to ipautil.run
that prevents lone strings from being used in nolog.
