Message-ID: <1246945931.163801197064128395.JavaMail.root@zcs5.wiu.edu>

OK...I got it figured out now and this works...

user = User.find(uid)
user.attributes.each do |attr, value|
  puts "#{attr}: #{value}"
end

This returns all attribute/value pairs and works great.  I love it that multi-valued attributes are automatically stuck into an array...beautiful.  Is there a way now to just retrieve the value of a specific attribute?  I've tried a couple different combinations of the following...

puts user.attribute("cn")
puts user.attributes("cn")

But I always get an error.  Is there no function for just returning the "displayName" for example?  Otherwise I have to stick some code in the user.attributes.each loop above to assign these as I parse through all of the attributes....

user.attributes.each do |attr, value|
  if attr == 'displayName'
    userDisplayName = value
  elseif attr == 'cn'
    userCn = value
  etc.......
end

It would be nice to be able to just reach into the user object to find the value for one attribute at a time.

Probably there is...I'm just not doing it correctly.

Thanks,
Matt

Yes. Use User.find.

What about custom attributes?  We have a lot of custom attributes in our directory....for example one called...

wiuRegisteredStar

So from your example it would be...

user.wiu_registered_star

or does this not work if we use custom attributes?  I'll have to try testing this later... I can't get to my dev system right now.

Awesome....this works as you indicated...

user.wiu_registered_star

Wonderful!!

Just a side note...and suggestion for the mailing list.  Can you make it so that when we hit "Reply" in our mail client, it makes it a reply to the list, and not a reply to the original sender.  Currently I have to choose "Reply-All", then cut the list address out of the CC line and paste it into the TO line.  There should be a list config setting that controls this.

Thanks,
Matt

Modifying RDN is supported in trunk:

  Host.modify_rdn_entry(host.dn, "newhost.unimelb.edu.au", true, nil)

But the API isn't stable yet. I'll change the API.

Ok. It doesn't look like this is supported in 0.90 ? Although there does 
seem to be a method modrdn on the object itself.

i.e.

host.modrdn( ??? )

Yes. I'll use #rename and #copy not #modrdn.

Subject: [Ruby-activeldap-discuss] Establish_connection behaviour
Message-ID: <a082b8230712191915p50a84b3akea30fe2d373b756b@mail.gmail.com>

I have been trying to figure out the best way to authenticate against
LDAP using the ActiveLdap library. Unfortunately the information in
http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowtoAuthenticateViaLdap is
evidently very outdated. I have been trying to use
establish_connection to try to do the same thing but there are some
things that make it hard.

Namely, establish_connection returns nil instead of a boolean and I
can't get it to return an AuthenticationError no matter what bogus
credentials I pass. At first I thought that even if it is failing
islently it's ok because I can just call "connected?". Of course that
presents new problems. Observe:

is-dev$ script/console
Loading development environment (Rails 2.0.1)
>> User.connected?
=> false
>> User.establish_connection
=> nil
>> User.connected?
=> false
>> User.find("bjeanes"); nil #this is custom overriden #find (see below)
=> nil
>> User.connected?
=> true

It seems that calling establish_connection (with or without options)
does not change the connected state. As far as I can tell, it does
nothing except return nil. I've been trolling through the ActiveLdap
source trying to see how calling find (which calls find_every, then
search, then some other search then i got lost) starts the connection
when one doesn't exist but can't emulate this in my own code. Most
methods used I can't access (bind, connect, disconnect!) anyway. Even
if i could do the connected? check to see if a new bind was
successful, i would have to drop any existing connections (something i
also can't seem to force), then bind, check status, and restore the
configuration-based connection.

Here is my User model for reference (i've changed the find method just
to make it more convenient for me since other than authentication, it
will primarily be used for a staff directory
[User.find("bjeanes").title :-)])

class User < ActiveLdap::Base
  ldap_mapping :dn_attribute => "cn",
    :prefix => "OU=Cutting Edge",
    :classes => ['top','user','person'],
    :scope => :sub

  def self.find(*args)
    return super(args) if args.length > 1 or args.first.class == Symbol

    attribute = case args.first.class.to_s # for some reason it never
matches if it compares classes
      when "Fixnum": "uSNCreated"
      when "String": "sAMAccountName"
      else return nil
    end

    super(:first, :attribute => attribute, :value => args.first.to_s)
# make sure it's a string
  end

  # was hoping establish_connection would raise an error here that
could be rescued,
  # or actually CHANGED the connection state:
  def self.login(user,pass)
    establish_connection(:bind_dn => user, :password => pass)
    return connected?
  rescue
    false
  end
end


Any ideas? Using version 0.9.0

Subject: [Ruby-activeldap-discuss] Trouble with has_many in my Group model
Message-ID: <D5248FF6-0116-1000-8250-84E380381AFC-Webmail-10022@mac.com>

I have looked over threads and tutorials on activeldap in search for an answer to my problem, and while it is probably very simple and right in front of me I am at the point where I need to ask for some help. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide. :)

First off, here's my Group model:

class AuthLdapGroup < ActiveLdap::Base
  ldap_mapping :dn_attribute => "cn",
               :prefix => "ou=groups",
               :classes => ["groupOfNames", "authorizationGroup"]

  has_many :members,
           :class => 'AuthLdapUser',
           :wrap => 'member',
           :primary_key => 'dn'
end

And here's my User model:

class AuthLdapUser < ActiveLdap::Base
  ldap_mapping :dn_attribute => "uid",
               :prefix => "ou=people",
               :classes => ["inetOrgPerson"],
               :scope => :sub

  belongs_to :groups,
             :class => 'AuthLdapGroup',
             :many => 'member',
             :foreign_key => 'dn'
end

And here is where I grab a Group object in my controller:

@group = AuthLdapGroup.find(params[:permalink])

And here is how I use it in my view:

<% @group.members.each do |member| %>
      <%= member.to_s %>
<% end %>

Obviously to_s isn't necessarily the most appropriate method, but it shouldn't break things and the error is happening on the "@group.members.each do |member|" line anyway. This is the error I'm getting when I access the show page:

'#<ActiveLdap::DistinguishedName:0x314b8bc @rdns=[{"uid"=>"authldapplaceholder"}, {"ou"=>"people"}, {"dc"=>"foobar"}, {"dc"=>"net"}]>' must be either nil, DN value as String or Array or attributes as Hash

Things work well, otherwise. I can list all groups, I can list all users, I can list all groups for a given user, but I can't seem to list all users in a given group.

I should also note that my schema is similar to one mentioned in a previous thread in that the "members" of a group are actually DNs of users and not their usernames. For instance here's a dump of part of a group:

dn:
- authGroupName=eng-friends-sales,ou=authorizationgroups,ou=groups,dc=foobar,dc=net
cn:
- eng-friends-sales
authGroupName:
- eng-friends-sales
member:
- uid=authldapplaceholder,ou=people,dc=foobar,dc=net
- uid=pesposito,ou=people,dc=foobar,dc=net
- uid=borr,ou=people,dc=foobar,dc=net


Just to be clear, I am not using the net_ldap adapter, which seemed to cause problems for the person in the thread I mentioned above.

Any help is much appreciated as I really like working with activeldap.

See an example Rails application:
  http://ruby-activeldap.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/examples/al-admin/app/models/ldap_user.rb

There is ActiveLdap::Base#bind for your propose since 0.9.0.
Before 0.9.0, ActiveLdap::Base.establish_connection and/or
ActiveLdap::Base#establish_connection are used for that.

What version are you using? 0.9.0 should work with
ActiveSupport 2.0.

Are you using ActiveLDAP::XXX not ActiveLdap::XXX?

We're using ActiveLdap since 0.8.0 because there was big API
changes.

Ah that was part of it.  I tried both ways and had errors.  With
ActiveLdap, I can almost get it to work, but it doesn't like the scope
indentifier:

:scope => LDAP::LDAP_SCOPE_SUBTREE


It says NameError: uninitialized constant SentUser::LDAP

Use :sub instead of LDAP::LDAP_SCOPE_SUBTREE.

Ok, that works.  The documentation on the main activeldap.rb page needs
to be updated.

I finally got some info out of the directory - I had to adapt to some
API changes.  I last worked with activeLdap a year ago, it seems a lot
has changed since  then.

One question now.

I have a hierarchy of  data, so there's obviously a has_many relation as
you go down each branch in the tree.

I have belongs_to working to go up the tree, but has_many is giving me
fits.  There's no "list" of members in the subtree, it just needs to
match all the submembers.  All sub members should have an attribute that
indicates they belong to the group (which is how the belongs_to works). 
How do I specify it?  The docs seem to say:

class Group < ActiveLdap::Base
...
has_many :users, :class_name => "User",
           :primary_key => "gidNumber", # User#gidNumber
           :foreign_key => "gidNumber"  # Group#gidNumber
end


This assumes that both the Group and all of its users have a common
gidNumber.  However, I can't seem to get it to work.

(I'm reading docs from: http://ruby-activeldap.rubyforge.org/doc/)

Well, here's a contrived example similar to what I'm doing: (assume ldap
schema has been created and is working... I haven't actually tested this
code, but it's very similar)


dn: group=test, dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: group
group: test

dn: user=user1,group=test,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: user
user: user1
group: test

dn: user=user2group=test,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: user
user: user2
group: test


class User < ActiveLdap::Base
  ldap_mapping :dn_attribute => 'user', :prefix => '', :classes => ['user']
  belongs_to :group, :class => 'Group', :many => 'group', :foreign_key
=> 'group'
end

class Group < ActiveLdap::Base
  ldap_mapping :dn_attribute => 'group', :prefix => '', :classes =>
['group']
  has_many :users, :class => 'User',
                  :primary_key => 'group',
                  :foreign_key => 'group'
end


So I should be able to do something crazy like:

>> puts User.find(:first).group[0].users[0].group[0].group
test
>> puts User.find(:first).group[0].users[1].user
user2
>>

As it is, I get nil or empty errors. In the ldap debug log, I'm seeing
some weird searches:

(&(group=group=test,dc=example,dc=com)(objectClass=user))

So I think it's generating the filter wrong... I just can't quite wrap
my head around the associations class magic yet.

Thanks for showing. What about that? (group -> groups)

  class User < ActiveLdap::Base
    ...
    belongs_to :groups, :class => 'Group', :many => 'group', :foreign_key => 'group'

The belongs_to part worked ok, it's the has_many that I can't figure out...

I also just noticed, that if the attribute "group" above is changed to
"myGroup" throughout my example, the query has a funny caps:

(&(myGroup=mygroup=test,dc=example,dc=com)(objectClass=user))


ahhhhh I found it.   I had a typo in my ldap_mapping call, in the
dn_attribute. It didn't exist, so it was throwing the dn_attribute in
there instead of the key I was looking for.   When I fixed the typo, the
query looks correct:

(&(myGroup=test)(objectClass=user)

I need to re-bind on every request depending on the user logged in - the
ldap server has acls to help limit the data available per login.  a year
ago, this was how I achieved it;  it doesn't work now - so how do I
store that connection now?

ActiveLdap::Base.establish_connection(
      ...
    )
    @@con=ActiveLdap::Base.connection  #save master connection, used to
look up login info
    begin
    
     # set user_dn ... get password 
     #requires some ldap searches via master conenction
     
      ActiveLdap::Base.bind(
        :host => HOST,
        :base => BASEDN,
        :bind_dn => "%s",
        :user => user_dn,
        :password_block => Proc.new { password },
        :allow_anonymous => false
      )
     
      session[:dn] = user_dn
      session[:pass] = password
      #...
    rescue  #connection failed, bad login
      flash[:message] = "login failure: #$!"
      flash[:username] = username
      flash[:password] = password
      ActiveLDAP::Base.connection=@@con  #restore master connection
      redirect_to(:action => "index") and return false
      return
    end
   
    ActiveLdap::Base.connection=@@con 
    #restore master connection
    #redirect to application main page


Then a before filter binds on every request, storing the master
connection every time, and restoring it after the request is done.

AL Admin(*) is a sample Rails application for that.

Well, it's not what I was doing, but it's probably a better way to do it.

I can get an array of the objectClass elements by:

@user  User.find(:first)
@user.classes


but  I can't seem to figure out how to modify that array.  I used to do:

@user.object_class << "someNewObjectClass"
@user.object_class -= ['someOtherObjectClass']


but the -= operation results in an error now.   How do I modify the
objectClass array?

Use #add_class, #remove_class or #replace_class.

Message-ID: <4777BDF7.7020909@dgrmm.net>

I have a field that has dn's in it, which is evidently getting converted
to ActiveLdap::DistinguishedName

It won't let me update the field though.


    params['client'].each do |attr,value|
     
      if @client.attribute_names.include?(attr)
        if value.respond_to?("-")
          value -= [""]
        end      
        @client.send("#{attr}=",value)
      end
    end

This ends up with an error on fields with a dn syntax

nevermind, it was one of my own validations that doesn't understand the
objects - wa previously expecting a string.
