The HBAC Service search and details pages have been added under the HBAC tab. This requires some changes to the framework. Currently the navigation framework doesn't support multiple entities under one tab. As a temporary solution, an 'entity' URL parameter is used to determine the entity to be displayed. This parameter is now only used by HBAC tab, but its use might be expanded later. The navigation framework needs be redesigned to provide more flexibility. The search page in all entities except DNS records have been changed to use the ipa_search_widget. The Select/Unselect All checbox and Delete button now work correctly and consistently. The Add dialog has been enhanced to render and work in a more consistent way while still supporting custom widgets & layouts. For the search page, the Add button will refresh the search results and clear the fields in the dialog box. The framework now provides some extension points which can be overriden by the subclasses: - init(): for initialization and configuration - create(): for creating the layout dynamically or from template - setup(): for setting the look and feel - load(): for loading the data Entity and facet initialization is now done after IPA.init(). This is to ensure the metadata is loaded first so the entities and facets can use localized messages/labels/titles. The group entity has been partially converted to use the new framework. The unit tests have been updated accordingly.
IPA Server
What is it?
-----------
For efficiency, compliance and risk mitigation, organizations need to
centrally manage and correlate vital security information including:
* Identity (machine, user, virtual machines, groups, authentication
credentials)
* Policy (configuration settings, access control information)
* Audit (events, logs, analysis thereof)
Since these are not new problems. there exist many approaches and
products focused on addressing them. However, these tend to have the
following weaknesses:
* Focus on solving identity management across the enterprise has meant
less focus on policy and audit.
* Vendor focus on Web identity management problems has meant less well
developed solutions for central management of the Linux and Unix
world's vital security info. Organizations are forced to maintain
a hodgepodge of internal and proprietary solutions at high TCO.
* Proprietary security products don't easily provide access to the
vital security information they collect or manage. This makes it
difficult to synchronize and analyze effectively.
