PluggableAuthService changelog

PluggableAuthService 1.6 (2008-08-05)

• Fixed another deprecation for manage_afterAdd occurring when used together with Five (this time for the ZODBRoleManager class).

• Ensure the _findUser cache is invalidated if the roles or groups for a principal change.

• Launchpad #15569586: docstring fix.

• Factored out ‘filter’ logic into separate classes; added filters for ‘startswith’ test and (if the IPy module is present) IP-range tests. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/zope-pas/+bug/173580 .

• Zope 2.12 compatibility - removed Interface.Implements import if zope.interface available.

• Ensure ZODBRoleManagerExportImport doesn’t fail if it tries to add a role that already exists (idempotence is desirable in GS importers)

• Fixed tests so they run with Zope 2.11.

• Split up large permission tests into individual tests.

• Fixed deprecation warning occurring when used together with Five. (manage_afterAdd got undeprecated.)

• Added buildout.

PluggableAuthService 1.5.3 (2008-02-06)

• ZODBUserManager plugin: allow unicode arguments to ‘enumerateUsers’. (https://bugs.launchpad.net/zope-pas/+bug/189627)

• plugins/ZODBRoleManager: added logging in case searchPrincipial() returning more than one result (which might happen in case of having duplicate id within difference user sources)

PluggableAuthService 1.5.2 (2007-11-28)

• DomainAuthHelper plugin: fix glitch for plugins which have never configured any “default” policy: ‘authenticateCredentials’ and ‘getRolesForPrincipal’ would raise ValueError. (http://www.zope.org/Collectors/PAS/59)

PluggableAuthService 1.5.1 (2007-09-11)

• PluggableAuthService._verifyUser: changed to use exact_match to the enumerator, otherwise a user with login ‘foobar’ might get returned by _verifyUser for a query for login=’foo’ because the enumerator happened to return ‘foobar’ first in the results.

• Add a test for manage_zmi_logout and replace a call to isImplementedBy with providedBy. (http://www.zope.org/Collectors/PAS/58)

PluggableAuthService 1.5 (2006-06-17)

• Add support for property plugins returning an IPropertySheet to PropertiedUser. Added addPropertysheet to the IPropertiedUser.

• Added a method to the IRoleAssignerPlugin to remove roles from a principal, and an implementation for it on the ZODBRoleManager. (http://www.zope.org/Collectors/PAS/57)

• Added events infrastructure. Enabled new IPrincipalCreatedEvent and ICredentialsUpdatedEvent events.

• Added support for registering plugin types via ZCML.

• Implemented authentication caching in _extractUserIds.

• Ported standard user folder tests from the AccessControl test suite.

• Passwords with “:” characters would break authentication (http://www.zope.org/Collectors/PAS/51)

• Corrected documented software dependencies

• Converted to publishable security sensitive methods to only accept POST requests to prevent XSS attacks. See http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/Hotfix-2007-03-20/announcement and http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/6310

• Fixed issue in the user search filter where unrecognized keyword arguments were ignored resulting in duplicate search entries. (http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/6300)

• Made sure the Extensions.upgrade script does not commit full transactions but only sets (optimistic) savepoints. Removed bogus Zope 2.7 compatibility in the process. (http://www.zope.org/Collectors/PAS/55)

• Made the CookieAuthHelper only use the ‘__ac_name’ field if ‘__ac_password’ is also present. This fixes a login problem for CMF sites where the login name was remembered between sessions with an ‘__ac_name’ cookie.

• Made the DomainAuthHelper return the remote address, even it the remote host is not available (http://www.zope.org/Collectors/PAS/49).

• Fixed bug in DelegatingMultiPlugin which attempted to validate the supplied password directly against the user password - updated to use AuthEncoding.pw_validate to handle encoding issues

• Fixed serious security hole in DelegatingMultiPlugin which allowed Authentication if the EmergencyUser login was passed in. Added password validation utilizing AuthEncoding.pw_validate

• Fixed a set of tests that tested values computed from dictionaries and could break since dictionaries are not guaranteed to have any sort order.

• Fixed test breakage induced by use of Z3 pagetemplates in Zope 2.10+.

• BasePlugin: The listInterfaces method only considered the old-style __implements__ machinery when determining interfaces provided by a plugin instance.

• ZODBUserManager: Already encrypted passwords were encrypted again in addUser and updateUserPassword. (http://www.zope.org/Collectors/Zope/1926)

• Made sure the emergency user via HTTP basic auth always wins, no matter how borken the plugin landscape.

• cleaned up code in CookieAuthHelper which allowed the form to override login/password if a cookie had already been set.

• Removed some BBB code for Zope versions < 2.8, which is not needed since we require Zope > 2.8.5 nowadays.
