Shibboleth Error Help
by Eric D Helms 06 May '10

06 May '10

I received some feedback from the NCSU Help desk related to the Shibboleth errors I have been receiving while doing a basic test as described at the bottom of http://xteams.oit.ncsu.edu/iso/shibboleth/sp-setup. I hoped to gather any else's thoughts or inputs on the following potential issues that could be the culprit: Are you behind a proxy or a firewall that is blocking TCP port 443 to shib.ncsu.edu? Looking at the error logs more closely: error while fetching https://shib.ncsu.edu/federation/metadata.xml: (59) Unknown cipher in list: ALL:!aNULL:!LOW:!EXPORT:!SSLv2 This may be illuminating: https://mail.internet2.edu/wws/arc/shibboleth-users/2008-10/msg00376.html https://mail.internet2.edu/wws/arc/shibboleth-users/2008-10/msg00383.html Eric

Global Permissions (not model associated)
by Brian Bouterse 05 May '10

05 May '10

My only complaint of the custom django permissions<http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/#id2>is that they have to be associated with a model itself. Put another way, there isn't a good way to declare permissions above the model layer, say if a permission would involve multiple models. I finally found someone with a pretty good solution to this problem: http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/334/ Basically, this code creates a custom "content type" named after the application itself, and then associates all permissions with that. This still isn't ideal because a content type still exists for the Permission, but at least it's a little better. It would also work well with a meaningful app name. For example, the vdi application could have a Permission named 'Manage' or 'View Reports' to indicate a whole bunch of different role-type access permissions that are meaningful at the application level. My only question is where do the statements that declare the permissions live such that they only get called once on startup? It seems the code wouldn't have any problems if it were run multiple times, but once is all we need. Maybe we could put the permission registration code in a file that is parsed once at startup, maybe similar to the admin.py? Does anyone know specifically where to put this code so that it gets run once? Best, Brian -- Brian Bouterse ITng Services

trying to view apache error log
by Dennis Kliban 01 May '10

01 May '10

I am trying to view the apache log, but for some reason I cannot sudo. Maybe I am doing it wrong. I've always just typed "sudo" then I would get prompted for password. Or I would type "sudo [username]" and then get prompted for username. This is apparently not correct usage. I've looked at the man page and didn't get much help. What am I doing wrong? Also, I finally pulled from the repository. When I try to import core, I am told that the module does not exist. Thanks, Dennis
