ClueMapper and Zope (Plone)

[Michael]

Hi,

it would be nice if I can use ClueMapper from my Plone instance, by
using zope.app.wsgi (or like that) and have access to the plone user
database. My problem is that I do not understand the WSGI and
PasteDeploy so well now, if you can give me some hints, what i need to
change in ClueMapper (I think I need some extended changes in
clue.secure.auth) to get such an access with single sign on for Plone
and ClueMapper.

It would be also nice if ClueMapper can be accessed through mod_python
like TracModPython.

Thanks,
Michael

Michael,

I want this integration too, but not necessary with single sign on.
One aprouch is integration at backend level (LDAP, SQL database).

I post this proposal to use PostgreSQL backend in ClueMapper and
SQLPasPlugin in Plone:

Maybe mod_wsgi integration?

Yeah the only way to really get integration working at this point would be to share user data sources.  And step one is to make sure the sql url isn't hardcoded inside cluemapper.  Step 2 would be to make it easier to configure the repoze.who portion.  This would theoretically allow integration with ldap instead of sql.

As for mod_python integration ... it's not on my immediate todo list.  If someone else can get this working I'll certainly add it to the wiki or whatever.  But I will be working on mod_wsgi integration as soon as I get a chance.

Should I create a brach to do this?

- new config parameter in cluemapper.ini (db_uri ?)
- global database object (crate and cache engine, session, etc)
- specialized data store for each app (wrapper the database object and
add specific app logic), the same actual logic ClueTimer and ClueBin
has, only refactor ithey and a new one to ClueMapper
- change ClueMapper to use new database or new wrapper for it first.
in future an ORM mapper can be used

I don't know about repoze.who, but this can be done after. ;-)

I guess this will not be so hard, but I'm not an wsgi guru. :-(

have a look at http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/TracWsgiPlugin
I think it is good starting point

I begin to see how to integrate authentication and did some look on
repoze.who plugins.
- htpasswd.py plugin now used store password in crypt format
- sql.py plugin uses sha format

To do SQL integration for auth both plugins need to be used, sql.py
for authentication and htpasswd.py to export password to Apache + SVN
integration. This includes "clue-admin addmanager" and when user
change your own password (Another Trac Plugin?).
