Getting ahead of the game

February 27, 2010 adam Leave a comment

Having worked out most of the bugs in migrating the Calypso installer to Ubuntu 9.10, I'm moving right along and bringing the test environment to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. While alpha, it seems incredibly stable, and I feel much better target an LTS release. Also, most of the bug fixes being done in 10.04 apply directly … Continue Reading ››

Squishing Bugs

Today I got our very own Bugzilla server up and running. This should make life much easier! http://www.shernet.net/bugzilla3

pfSense

It's a great router. Really. But here's what you need to know: If you're connecting two subnets, it's really helpful to check the "Bypass firewall rules for traffic on the same interface" box under Advanced. There's 4 hours I'll never get back.

Upgrades!

February 25, 2010 adam Leave a comment

Lots of new toys here at Shernet. The SAN and VMware server have both been upgraded to dual-core 64-bit systems. And they actually have some memory now! This should give us some working room to get a better test lab up, and hopefully make more progress towards a release.

Calypso Installer

February 18, 2010 adam Leave a comment

The Calypso Installer works with Ubuntu Server 9.10 and reaches version 0.2.0! Better still, it's using cn=config instead of slapd.conf and is officially welcomed into the 21st century.

Samba 3.4

Since it took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out why "use kerberos keytab" refused to work in Ubuntu 9.10, I'm posting here what my problem was. It seems "use kerberos keytab" is deprecated (as noted in the release notes). The replacement is some variation of kerberos method = If using the system keytab, that makes … Continue Reading ››

Mail and Me

November 19, 2009 adam Leave a comment

Email via the Calypso Mail Installer is up and in production. And to get that working for me, I have finally moved my account into Calypso. Talk about eating your own dog good. Pre-alpha dog food at that!

Fedora GDM

November 4, 2009 adam Leave a comment

It turns out gdm in Fedora looks at /etc/pam.d/password-auth for authentication rather than /etc/pam.d/system-auth. Installer updated, and should now allow client logins via the login screen.

Calypso client working with Ubuntu

November 3, 2009 adam Leave a comment

After a night of hacking, the calypso client installer now works with Ubuntu (at least 9.10, but should work with others). In fact, I'm logged in as a Calypso user to Karmic right now. One thing of note: nscd is required to use sudo with pam-ldap in Ubuntu... that wasn't a fun bug to track down, … Continue Reading ››

The marvel of the LoginContext

October 12, 2009 adam Leave a comment

and the PrivilegedAction! The Calypso Admin application is progressing well. I'm now able to modify all of the LDAP data for users (except the picture, that can wait for later). This is all done via credentials provided at login and stored in a LoginContext. PrivelegedActions are then performed as the authenticated subject. eg:


Subject currentSubject = CalypsoadminApp.userContext.getSubject();
PrivilegedAction currentGetUser … Continue Reading ››Share this:
