[Zope-PAS] Re: authentication via web services

Hi,

Has anyone used PAS to authenticate and get properties from a web 
service?  We have a requirement for this in a project, but given the 
current general state of SOAP support in python, I'm not very clear on 
what the best solution might be on this.


If anyone has any experience/advice that they're willing to share, I'd 
be very grateful.


Well, if by web services you mean SOAP, then I don't know. But the 
GMailAuthPlugin (which is really just a demonstrator), the Salesforce 
connector, the OpenID plugin, and the LibertyAuthPlugin could be called 
using web services. Maybe the CAS plugin counts.


Yes, I did mean SOAP as that seems to be the only way this specific 
service is exposed.  I wasn't aware of those plugins so will take a 
look.  The salesforce plugin looks quite useful, from a cursory glance.


Thanks,

Miles

I agree with this.  Though the restriction is not documented  anywhere: I
am happy to add some explanatory notes though.


It does not need to be documented because that is a generally  accepted 
rune, not something specific to this project. Interfaces  should not 
change out of the blue. If a change must be made there are  mechanisms 
(deprecation warnings, etc) that can be used to tell  people about 
impending changes, and they're usually employed for 2  releases.




Sorry, my mail wasn't very clear.

I meant the the first IUserAdder plugin to return True vetoes further 
plugins restriction (which isn't documented - I was suggesting adding a 
note about it) and not the changing semantics of interfaces out of the 
blue is not allowed restriction (which is documented in mailing lists 
and other places).

[Zope-PAS] missing method in interfaces

[Miles]

Hi,

The interfaces definition from the plugins directory defines:

IRoleAssignerPlugin
def doAssignRoleToPrincipal( principal_id, role ):

However, it doesn't document any way to remove a role from a principal. 
 Should there be a doRemoveRoleFromPrincipal( principal_id ) method for 
this?


zodbrolemanager provides a removeRoleFromPrincipal method which does 
this, and could be wired up in the same way as doAssignRoleToPrincipal 
is currently.


Can I provide a patch to add it into the definition, and to zodbrolemanager?

Thanks,

Miles
