#109 Test updated AuthFAS package to ensure that it indeed works as intended
Closed: Fixed None Opened 14 years ago by ke4qqq.

AuthFAS 0.3-1 was pushed out on 3/31 based on changes on PT6.

We need to carefully secure the working copy (along with it's config file) and then test the new package to ensure that it really works.


Questions from FI meeting:

11:18 < rbergeron> does it actually work with multiple levels of FAS groups and such?
11:18 < pcalarco> we could recruit some of our editors to apply to cmsadmin or a new
FAS group and test

Need to test admin rights, permissions of multiple FAS <-->zikula groups.

Three groups are needed: cmsadmin, cmswriter, cmseditor.

Basically - we're not sure what is fixed at this point (is only cmsadmin working, or do we have the ability to have create a FAS group and tie it to zikula permissions.)

11:19 < pcalarco> being a member of cmsadmin seems to give one admin rights only in
Zikula
11:19 < stickster> Otherwise we keep scratching our heads each week asking, "What
does this mean?"
11:19 < stickster> pcalarco: In a good sense?
11:20 < pcalarco> in a bad sense, meaning we can't use that FAS group to distinguish
between different authorization levels in Zikula
11:20 < stickster> pcalarco: If there's a question you have about how FASAuth should
work, that we need to assess and test, put it in that ticket too
please!
11:20 < rbergeron> i'm basically blocked on writing documentation on how to get
poeple in until we either (a) get multiple levels of permissions
or (b) just make the call on if everyone is going to be in the
cmsadmin group
11:20 < pcalarco> writer, editor, Zikula admin
11:20 * rbergeron will keep cutting and pasting
11:20 < stickster> pcalarco: We should really create separate FAS groups foreach of
those.
11:20 < rbergeron> into the ticket
11:21 < stickster> I think I noted that previously -- maybe rbergeron can capture
that as a TODO in that ticket.
11:21 < pcalarco> stickster: yes, agreed
11:21 < stickster> cmsadmin, cmswriter, cmseditor
11:21 < rbergeron> yes - i think that was originally the intent of the ticket
11:21 < stickster> rbergeron: Cool
11:21 < rbergeron> or getting into this ticket
11:21 < rbergeron> then we discovered that the fas to cmsadmin part was broken
11:21 < rbergeron> so that i believe is what is fixed thus far -
11:21 < stickster> And I think that's supposed to be fixed now
11:21 < stickster> right
11:21 < rbergeron> biut the multiple layers of permissions is unknown
11:22 < pcalarco> yes

Decided at 2010-04-15 meeting to only provide a single cmsadmin/Administrators group for now. The FASAuth plugin does work for authentication as needed, and syncs access on these groups as expected.

Milestone F13b: Alpha to Beta deleted
