Changed console from reverse video to normal (white background, black text), as requested in steering committee meeting, since this makes a big difference to visibility in lectures (cf longitudinal chromatic aberration).	stevenbird	16 years ago
548	www/apps/userservice: Allows unixid as an argument to create... www/apps/userservice: Allows unixid as an argument to create_user. Removed code to print the msg string; now actually calls usrmgt_server. usrmgt-server: Refactored create_user. Now accepts "login" and "unixid" instead of "username" and "uid" (standardized naming). And passes all arguments as keyword args, not positional. (Both of these were broken before).	mattgiuca	16 years ago

541	Implement a vege algorithm for allocating unix uids: rnd. Implement a vege algorithm for allocating unix uids: rnd.	drtomc	16 years ago
540	Refactored error handling and reporting. Much friendlier err... Refactored error handling and reporting. Much friendlier error messages, for both developers and users. Note that PythonDebug is now going to be ignored. IVLE itself selects when to display a traceback. (So IVLE will display tracebacks even in a production environment, for internal server errors). common/util.py: Added class IVLEError, which is now used for throwing user-readable errors inside IVLE instead of throwing apache SERVER_RETURN exceptions. dispatch/request: throw_error now throws an IVLEError instead of a SERVER_RETURN. It also takes a new argument, "message", which can be used to place an optional message inside the exception which will be displayed to the user. Finally, added a method get_http_codename which returns the name and description of common HTTP error codes. (Used to report errors which don't have a message supplied). dispatch/__init__: Added a wrapper around handler which catches all exceptions thrown out of IVLE. The handler for this selectively handles exceptions. 4xx level exceptions thrown are user errors, so these are reported in a very friendly way, with no traceback, and in the familiar IVLE environment. 5xx level exceptions and any other exceptions are reported in a minimal environment (to avoid cascading errors) with a traceback and a request for the user to report it to the administrators. As many calls to req.throw_error as possible should now have a message included, to make identifying errors easier.	mattgiuca	16 years ago
539	www/apps/__init__.py: www/apps/__init__.py: When an app can't be imported, raise an error with req.throw_error instead of directly raising an apache error.	mattgiuca	16 years ago
538	userservice: Throws METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED on bad method errors ... userservice: Throws METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED on bad method errors instead of BAD REQUEST.	mattgiuca	16 years ago

536	apps/userservice: Generalised searching for actions (dict ma... apps/userservice: Generalised searching for actions (dict mapping action names to functions). Create and update user are now handled correctly, but still temporarily return the JSON msg intended for usrmgt (can't get usrmgt to work yet).	mattgiuca	16 years ago
535	svn:ignore - "svn" directory in trunk svn:ignore - "svn" directory in trunk	mattgiuca	16 years ago
534	login: Catches and nicely reports any login exception, not j... login: Catches and nicely reports any login exception, not just AuthError. This is because each auth module throws a different AuthError (different identities - Python hacky thing).	mattgiuca	16 years ago
533	auth/authenticate: Much done! auth/authenticate: Much done! Fixed immediate failure if user not in DB (now sets user to None to give it the chance to pulldown). Now writes the user to the DB if a user object is returned. Fixed simple_db_auth raising if the user is not in the DB. It now returns None, again, to give chance to pulldown. Fixed importing modules - the auth dir is not in sys.path so there are import errors. Did some foo (a LOT of magic) to get the auth dir in sys.path. auth/ldap_auth: Fixed missing import. auth/guest_auth: Added new auth module, guest. This is more of a toy. It auths guest/guest and also returns a new user which is written to the DB - so it's like a user pulldown module. userdb/users.sql: Fixed rolenms allowed - these did not match caps.Role.	mattgiuca	16 years ago
