CHANGELOG

** Version 1.0.4

  • change in the MySQLdb API: insert_id () replaced with lastrowid. - Cookie support for GRUF with Plone. - In m_USerInfo.dtml, url_quote is added for usernames in link hrefs.

** Version 1.0.3

  • "import" fix in db.py. On some installations this produced import error.

** Version 1.0.2

  • Fix in _doDelUsers () used by GRUF (Thanks to Kai)

** Version 1.0.1

  • __check_connection () was missing in authenticate (). (Thanks to Matthias Kleinschmidt).
  • v_userdb.change_user_roles () now filters out system roles, so it doesn't write them into the database - there was a problem with Plone calling _doChangeUser (). (Thanks to Matthias Kleinschmidt).

** Version 1.0.0

  • Don't connect () on __setstate__ (), but on the first request. This fixes some performase issues when there are lot of thread creations.

** Version 0.9.2

  • There is a new cfg option AUTO_CREATE_ROLES. It will create all roles from user.change_user_roles () that don't exist.

** Version 0.9.2-pre2

  • fixed typo in manage_create_users ()
  • authenticate () works if GRUF passes None as username or password.

** Version 0.9.2-pre1

  • renamed authenticate () to authenticate_main (), and same for authorize () to avoid confusion with corresponding functions of the basic user folder. Implemented authenticate () interface function.
  • _getPassword () implemented for the user object, this is needed for GRUF.
  • don't raise an error if adding roles to the parent folder fails in mysqlUserFolder creation and role creation.
  • _doAdd/Delete/Change functions are implemented.
  • Now it is possible to create/change user without any roles - manage_users_create () and manage_users_change_roles () are fixed (thanks to Alex).
  • It is also possible to leave anon_create_role empty, so new users created with user_create are without roles (thanks to Reale Fabrizio).
  • If MySQLDB returns SERVER_GONE or SERVER_LOST, __do_query () will automaticaly reconnect and reexecute the query without raising an error.
  • pwe_md5_crypt () looks a bit nicer now. (thanks to Lance Pillay).
  • getClinetAddress () method of Zope 2.7 is now supported. Variable REQUEST_RADDR_FIELD is ignored on Zope >= 2.7.
  • validate_domain_spec () changed to work properly with Zope 2.7, REQUEST_RHOST_FIELD removed from cfg.py. Domain spec validation is now done by zope function. This means that REQUEST_RADDR_FIELD is always ignored for this purpose.
  • implemented hasUsers () method.

** Version 0.9.1

  • docLogin method now receives parameter exception_raised if it is raised as an exception. This is needed because in this case, method is displayed inside standard_error_message method (so HTML headers should not be included).
  • If exception is raised during query, connection is marked (new DB API function is added: has_errors ()). Main code checks this flag, and reconnects in case of errors.
  • MD5 digest support (thanks to Filippo Natali). Password field in the database now has to have length 32.
  • Ignore error if crypt is not avaiable (it is UNIX specific).
  • manage_contents is renamed to manage_main. Add/Delete/Copy/... buttons expect this name.
  • Code will now work even if domains specification is None (although it shouldn't be - field is NOT NULL).

** Version 0.9.0

  • Domain specification for users now works.
  • user_* functions are now protected by permissions. There is "Advanced" management tab where it is possible to easily setup proxy roles for "ACT" methods.
  • System now supports crypt () passwords. Also, there is a special INVALID_PASSWORD_TYPE which denies authentication.
  • It is now possible not to put expires attribute for cookies so they will not be stored when browser exits.
  • Some cfg parameters are now stored in the folder object: life, timeout and persistence for session and user cookies, logging configuration.
  • Management screen improvements: management screens rearranged; fixed warning "manage_main != manage_contents"; after UserEdit submit user is return to the user edit screen.
  • Property dtml_user_dir is now visible only during creation, since it is not used after.
  • __connect () errors are silently dropped in __setstate__ (). Interface functions will __connect () if there is a need. Errors are handled gracefully where possible in manage functions. New interface functions is_connected () is created.
  • validate () will work without DB connection if VALIDATE_ALWAYS_SUPER is set. Some management screens will work without DB connection - now it is possible to change DB parameters when there is no connection.
  • getUserNames () now can filter results based on optional role.
  • Fixed missing "return" when VALIDATE_ONLY_ANONYMOUS is set.
  • DTMLFile is used instead of HTMLFile for management screens. Management DTML methods now use Zope's manage_page_header/footer.
  • manage_addMySQLRoles now calls _addRoles ().
  • Module random is used now instead of whrandom

** Version 0.6.4

  • Function get_path_from_request () now users REQUEST ['URL'] to construct request url. (thanks to Stephen Snyder).
  • If tokens have invalid value, they are deleted from the cache. Previously, it was done only for expired tokens.
  • Debug logging improvements.

** Version 0.6.3

  • mysqlUserFolder is now forcing basic authentication on certain ports even if cookies are used (so FTP can be used).
  • authorize () calls BasicUserFolder.authorize () now.
  • URL Query string is also passed in login_goto if exception is raised during processing. This means that user will go to the target page including parameters after login.
  • Management screen supports changing roles (thanks to Remi Houdaille).
  • Multiple roles support when creating users (thanks to Remi Houdaille).
  • Other small improvements in management screens.
  • db.py: Tables are unlocked when exception is raised.
  • Size of the username and email fields is increased to 60 in sql creation script. Management dtml methods support now getting field sizes from cfg.py
  • New parameter mysql unix socket added.
  • CACHE_USER_LIFE decreased to 60 in cfg.py

** Version 0.6.2

  • If roles argument passed in validate is None, assume Anonymous.
  • Users now have role "AUTHENTICATED".
  • Two levels of debug messages.

** Version 0.6.1

  • Cookie path and domain are now configurable.
  • Security options VALIDATE_IGNORE_ROLES and VALIDATE_ONLY_ANONYMOUS.
  • QUERY_STRING is also logged.
  • Changed [] -> () in "unlock tables" call. No more problems with MySQLdb 0.9.0 (thanks to Albert Ting ).
  • Cleared references to manage_cache. Also deleted reconnect option from management screen.
  • Deleting users from the management screen works again.

** Version 0.6.0

  • User, session and token caching.
  • Fixed cookie expiration time string when locale is used. Private function is used instead of strftime ().
  • Tokens database now has field Realm. This prevents using a same session for different realms.
  • Added minimal expiry time for cookies.
  • UserDb.refresh_user () now returns status.

** Version 0.5.3

  • mysqlUserFolder now works with MySQLdb 0.3.2 (int -> long change). Also there should be no more problems with non English characters. mysqlUserFolder now uses MySQLdb query parameters.
  • User dtmls now set no-cache headers.
  • Logging table is changed: remote address in now logged. Also, failed cookie logging attempts are logged. This isn't final logging system, there will be more changes.
  • user_login (): login_goto_path is passed to docLogin in case of failed login.

** Version 0.5.3d1

  • Cookie names can use realm, so users can be authenticated by multiple folders using different realms.

** Version 0.5.2

  • Session logging. Also, new table Log. This is still experimental, meta_type and size doesn't work for some objects. Table is going to be changed in future releases.
  • SECURITY: Fix for db.del_user (), user sessions and tokens are now deleted, when user is deleted. Please see MySQL database section in README.
  • Fix for INSTANCE_HOME installations.
  • Fixed error in __get_session_user (): Changing realm can lead to an error if there are old sessions.
  • Typing error in __setup_session () fixed.
  • Management interface improvements, thanks to Andre Schubert
  • Documentation updates.

** Version 0.5.1

  • Compliance of User and Session classes with Zope security system (Zope 2.2).
  • Changes in the TokenDb API: General (not just cookie) token support.
  • getUser () was not returning completely initialized user object.
  • Cookies: expire them before setting.
  • Session authentication method now checks realm.
  • SECURITY: Bugs fixed in session handling code: there was possibility that user was authenticated with UF using different realm.
  • Typing error in use_login (): Session was not terminated when authenticated user logs as another user.
  • validate (): Now, Anonymous is not authenticated when http auth is used. In this case, Zope's root user folder should do the authentication.
  • getUser () now returns user object that is not wrapped. Don't know why zope wants it in this way, but otherwise there are problems.
  • User's miscdata were not deleted when user was deleted.
  • Session and user timeouts are changed.
  • DTML properties screen was not showing correct database name.

** Version 0.5.0

  • Complete redesign: session support, Zope 2.2, editable user dtmls.
  • Authentication process is changed.
  • MySQL tables are changed (tables Users and Roles are not changed).
  • MiscData get function now returns default values for keys that don't exist.

If you can read this text, it means you are not experiencing the Plone design at its best. Plone makes heavy use of CSS, which means it is accessible to any internet browser, but the design needs a standards-compliant browser to look like we intended it. Just so you know ;)
