Security fixes!
  • Fixed error handling where client-generated parameters displayed in various error messages could be exploited for cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. All web2ldap versions prior to this version are considered vulnerable.
Bug fixes
  • Fixed backward-compability issue with Python 2.0 by avoiding use of function inspect.isclass().

0.15.0

Release Date: 2004-07-29

Installation and Configuration changes
  • The host:port form in the cascaded configuration was abandoned. All string-keys MUST be valid LDAP URLs except the single underscore for the default section. Additionally one can group configuration parameters around a common base DN (AKA as search root AKA naming context) by specifying a LDAP URL with empty hostport part. (see section Cascaded configuration).
  • Note: This release requires upgrading to python-ldap 2.0.1 which contains an important bug fix.
  • Performance optimization module psyco is imported if available.
New features/enhancements
  • Sort of a rudimental plugin interface for syntax and attribute-type classes. Added plugin example module for attribute types c and gender.
  • Added plugin classes for vendor-specific syntaxes and/or attribute types:
  • New host-specific parameter link_css allows to set different style sheets (CSS URL) for different servers / naming contexts.
  • A multi-select field is also displayed for abstract object classes when adding or modifying entries. E.g. this preserves object class top in an existing entry.
  • If attribute schemaNamingContext is present in RootDSE (e.g. with MS AD) a link is displayed in the schema viewer to the relating schema element entry found under the schema naming context.
  • Attribute values of syntax OctetString can now be edited in hex-dump format.
  • Support for SASL mechanism NTLM.
  • LDAP URLs as string keys for configuration dictionary are now normalized before building w2lapp.cnf.ldap_def. This should lead to a more robust configuration behaviour.
Bug Fixes
  • Fixed displaying anonymous login in case a username or bind-DN was given without password.
  • Equals sign added as allowed character to regex pattern for PrintableString.
  • urllib.quote() is used instead of urllib_plus.quote() which fixes some strange errors with DNs passed around in URLs.
  • Added additional check whether to explicitly add object class attribute to set of required attributes in input form. This is a work-around for LDAP servers which mark the objectClass attribute as not user-modifiable (e.g. MS Active Directory)
  • Properly fall-back to binary download if there is no special handler for viewing a single binary attribute.
  • Imports of sndhdr and StringIO were missing for w2lapp.schema.syntaxes.Audio.
Code cleaning
  • Got rid of calling eval() in pisces.asn1 to be more friendly to psyco.
  • Removed some of the special attribute value detections in w2lapp.schema.syntaxes.LDAPSyntax.displayValue().
