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

Running tests on rhel7
by Alois Mahdal 24 Oct '14

24 Oct '14

Hi, we need to be able to run tests on RHEL7, but currently (since [3f964fc4][], ~3 months ago) they depend on lmiwbem, which is not available in the repositories. [3f964fc4]: https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/openlmi-providers.git/commit?id=3f964fc4a… So is it planned to release lmiwbem to rhel7 any time soon? Or should we maintain a separate branch of tests that is compatible? Thanks, aL. -- Alois Mahdal <amahdal(a)redhat.com> Platform QE, BaseOS Daemons #qa, #brno, #daemons

by Martin Hatina 23 Oct '14

Hello, I developed GUI for OpenLMI (+ account and service provider) as part of my bachelor thesis. Now as an intern I continue working on it. It is capable of generating scripts for LMIShell as well as execute these changes. It can also discover computers on network using SLP. For those of you, who might be interested, follow this link: https://github.com/mhatina/openlmi_gui Martin Hatina

Rewriting READMEs
by Alois Mahdal 15 Oct '14

15 Oct '14

Hi, as we have agreed on last meeting, I have started rewriting READMEs so that * they employ consistent style, * they can all be readable in plain-text, * in the process, I'll be able to catch/fix other problems (missing or dead links, unclear / incorrect / incomplete / obsolete / redundant info, typos, grammar), * as a bonus, they can be easily converted to HTML (or viewed as HTML on sites like GitHub). The markup of choice is Markdown, mostly due to its good readability as plain text (in fact I'm writing this in MD, as most of my e-mails). I'm also following a [simple style guide][1] I have developed over years. [1]: https://github.com/AloisMahdal/mybook/blob/master/guidelines/markdown.md First commit regarding this is [ad77376][2] in openlmi-providers, which has already been [reviewed][3] and merged to master. [2]: https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/openlmi-providers.git/commit/?id=ad77376 [3]: http://reviewboard-openlmi.rhcloud.com/r/2100/ I have already started working on rest of READMEs from openlmi-providers and I'll be soon posting first batch of commits. Stay tuned... Thanks, aL. -- Alois Mahdal <amahdal(a)redhat.com> Platform QE, BaseOS Daemons #qa, #brno, #daemons
