silva.pas.base 1.5.5

Base PluggableAuthService support for Silva CMS

This package provides a new service for PluggableAuthService (PAS) integration in Silva. Installing it will also create a new PAS acl_user for the Silva Root, pre-configured to add users in it.

This extension require at least Silva 2.1.2 or higher. For previous release of Silva, please use silva.pas.base 1.2.

Installation

If you installed Silva using buildout, by getting one from the Infrae SVN repository, or creating one using Paster, you should edit your buildout configuration file buildout.cfg to add or edit the following section:

[instance]

eggs +=
      silva.pas.base

zcml +=
      silva.pas.base

If the section instance wasn’t already in the configuration file, pay attention to re-copy values for eggs and zcml from the profile you use.

After you can restart buildout:

$ ./bin/buildout

If you don’t use buildout, you can install this extension using easy_install, and after create a file called silva.pas.base-configure.zcml in the /path/to/instance/etc/package-includes directory. This file will responsible to load the extension and should only contain this:

<include package="silva.pas.base" />

Changelog

1.5.5 (2012-08-23)

• Improve how form parameters are encoded in the URL when redirecting to the login form. This prevent unwanted errors when parameters are binary like data.

1.5.4 (2012-01-13)

• Add an option ‘Redirect to path’, that compute the redirect URL using the same hostname and protocol than the login form. This is useful if you want to redirect logged in people to an other virtual host.

• Use ACTUAL_URL instead of URL to find the redirect URL. This is useful to prevent some miscalculation in Zope URL computations.
