I'm thinking to an option, similar to --configpath, so that qgis starts
authenticating itself against an existing DB, using the authentication
from the system (e.g. Active Directory, etc.).

Right; Larry, what is the current state of art?

This is nice, but it can evolve in parallel: once the double option
(.qgs and db) is in place, any additional info can be added to both.

All the best.

Hmm, interesting idea. 
By now, I could deal with it with profile QGIS2.ini fine tuning.  
User settings also concerns all that is stored in .qgis profile (settings,
GUIncustomization, processing conf and use models).

What you suggest implies that QGIS can authenticate itself and register to a
DB. We would need then to add some LDAP or CAS to QGIS.  I remember Larry
was working on related topics. Any more ideas on that?
  Another point, I guess that we should before conclude on a long running
topic, the one about refactoring qgs file so that it can store additional
resources such as data stored along the project, svg resources, scripts. 
 This would hep defining what is a full profile and what is exactly a
project file.  

My 2 cents too ;-)

We are not working on thia but I agree with you. A db project would help a
lot also for data concinstency, and this is a cross reference to the
topological tools post you wrote a few minutes ago: having a set of rules
stored within the DB. This would keep data coherent between users and
editing sessions.

my 2 cents

[Qgis-developer] Project on DB

2015-04-14 Thread Paolo Cavallini
Hi all,
we have already discussed this, and I'd like to raise the point.
In corporate environment, it would be crucial to store both user
settings and default projects in the database, so that an user could
start with a preset environment. This is an extension of our previous
work, storing styles for individual layers.
Is anyone working on this, or interested to?
All the best.
