Add LANGUAGE property to LMI_Locale
by Alexander Lakhin 13 Jul '15

13 Jul '15

Hello, It seems that LMI_Locale misses one important property - LANGUAGE. The property can have value distinct from LC_* and LANG and it is supported by systemd-localed/localectl. Is it possible to add it to the LMI_Locale provider? I would like to propose the attached patch for it or should I file the bug? Best regards, Alexander

Polkit-based authorization in OpenLMI providers
by Jan Safranek 16 Feb '15

16 Feb '15

Hello, I've been working on reusing polkit authorization for OpenLMI providers, which use a DBus service (e.g. NetworkManager, PackageKit, realmd, systemd, ...). I've documented the architecture on our wiki [1] and I submitted review in our review-board. I won't push the patches until we get to an agreement that it's the way to go and also the implementation is secure - please review carefully. There are *no* changes needed in our provider code and/or in the DBus services we work with. 1: https://fedorahosted.org/openlmi/wiki/PolkitAuthorization 2: https://reviewboard-openlmi.rhcloud.com/users/jsafrane/ In short, the concept is similar to Cockpit's reauthorization [3], we just don't play tricks with user passwords - we don't have one on CIM provider level. Instead, we register a polkit agent, which bluntly authenticates every request from polkit in its PAM session. 3: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/blob/master/doc/reauthorize.md [Kudos to Cockpit guys, I used their code to implement polkit agent and helper.] Just a side note: right now, users with remote CIM access must be members of 'pegasus' group, otherwise they cannot start a provider. Is it good or bad? Should _any_ user be able to use CIM by default and let polkit decide? It's trivial to fix, just set different file/directory permissions in tog-pegasus.rpm. And there is /etc/Pegasus/access.conf, which can control access properly if sysadmin wishes, so the question is just about the default setting. Jan
