I would really like to see a file input support here. It would be simpler to operate in CLI as you would anyway create vCal files -- no sane person is going to deal with these strings directly on the command line. That is correct and some basic file support is already in the patches I sent earlier, though replacing rules is not a part of it. However, it does not solve the problem as you would still need access to the files to work with the attributes and then change the files accordingly. However, we've had yet another brainstorm with Petr^2, Martin^2 and Honza. We really don't want the above so we came up with some ideas that I'm listing below. Note that we also do not want more than one VEVENT component in any of the time rules. So, the ideas: 1) Have the time rules as separate objects. This approach got most support here. Adding Simo and Jakub to CC should they have any input against this. 2) Have the time rules stored as strings in the multi- valued accesstime attribute at each rule. These would be referenced by their UID property of the VEVENT component of the iCalendar string (instead of that pure hell above). As each of the strings can only contain one VEVENT which has to define a UID, the only problem would be to keep the uniqueness of UIDs consistent. From my point of view, 1) seems rather better but your experience might be different. Don't hesitate to share your opinions, please. Can you please give me an example ldif of a complete hbac rule including time rules with the 2 different proposals ? I do not really care a lot how the framework ends up managing the objetcs, I care mostly about how the information is stored in LDAP and how efficient the storage will be for SSSD retrieval. That's my evaluation pov. Keep in mind that rules are modified rarely but downloaded much more frequently, so it is ok to have a slightly harder way to store them to gain efficiency in retrieving and downloading them. Simo. Please find the ldif files attached, with some additional changes than only to hbac rules. It's from my current implementations. OT: We had an offline discussion with Honza that to keep the backward compatibility, it might be good to introduce v2 of HBAC rules so that's what you see there. Perhaps accessTime should be in that v2 rule as well but that's even more off-topic here. I really would like an example ldif of a set of objects created with an actual time rule in effect, the schema tells me something but not all. You have ipaHBACRulev2 defined twice in different way in the two files, why ? What is accessTime ? Simo. Those two files show two different implementations - templates.ldif of the template approach, objects.ldif of "time rules as objects" approach. Should have probably mentioned that. Also, like I said, I should have probably included "accessTime" in the objects.ldif ipaHBACRulev2, which I believe is the only difference there that does not have to do anything with how this works. "accessTime" is an attributeType defined in some IPA 2.0 version or so which should bear the time policy information. Each of the time rules objects should bear one single-valued "accessTime" attribute. "accessTime" is originally defined as multi-valued so we may want to have a new attribute defined for that use. Time rules would have their own container somewhere

For sure we should support import of iCals, but we should have simple interface for creating simple iCal, such as from 13:00, to 15:00, on Mo, Tu and Fri. For extra special rules the one may use iCal generator somewhere.

Good point :-) Also, typical iCalendar string is not much suitable for this approach (see http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5545#section-4 for examples). Your proposal is a way, of course, but not much user-friendly here. Removing and adding of particular accesstime values should be done by a pair of commands, "hbacrule-add-accesstime rule_name accesstime" and "hbacrule-remove-accesstime rule_name accesstime". What about modifications, thought? If not for CLI, you will still need a way to modify a more complex time rule in the WebUI (you do not want to remove a complex rule just to click through its creation all again for a minor change). Modification of an attribute value is exactly that - the old value gets removed and the new value gets added. How it will look like in the web UI is a completely different thing. The question here is if the intermediate state without defined time (remember, no transactions!) is acceptable or not. Does it mean that the time restriction will removed OR that access will be always denied because the rule is incomplete? Pretty good point I was about to raise myself. Also, what happens when removal succeeds but addition fails for some reason? The operation is not atomic anymore. Currently, if the time is not set it means users are allowed in. That was there because of the backward compatibility although that could now be bent to our wills as it should be solved differently (see latest post of Lukas Hellebrandt on URI in HBAC and his ipahbacruleuri). We were thinking of a solution discussed way earlier - having our own time rule objects that could be referenced from each HBAC rule. That way, any time rule could be modified easily.
