Remove LDAP parts #366

Firstyear · 2022-08-10T03:24:24Z

Start to remove all ldap integration.

The LDAP integration as it exists in Yast is unmaintained and does a lot of things incorrectly. It relies on functionality to bypass password policy in LDAP servers, it requires client side pre-hashing/salting of passwords, it allows clear text storage of pws, it isn't schema aware, it relies on openldap specific functionality and more. Generally it's not in a good shape.

This starts the removal process. There are better tools to manage ldap accounts like ldapvi, dsidm, apache directory studio and more.

Currently this PR does have an error with rake run but the ruby trace has no correlation to the code so I don't know whats wrong :(

Thanks a lot for the PR, much appreciate.

I'd like to test the module manually before going for the approval. It might take me some time because I'm a bit busy today. Hope you don't mind.

Meanwhile, you can bump version and add an entry in the changelog ;)

I managed to invest some time testing this PR today. We're on the way ;) but there are some thing to polish yet.

Users.pm has now a bunch of variables that are used but not previously declared. For example, $substituted, @user_internals, @group_internals or even $password (this one in the sub _hashPassword) We have to either, get ride of the useless code using them or re-declare those that still in use.

The Makefile still referencing files that does not exist anymore

The module fails when trying to write changes to the system

Internal error. Please report a bug report with logs.
Run save_y2logs to get complete logs.

Caller: /usr/share/YaST2/include/users/complex.rb:84:in `WriteDialog'

Details: undefined method `LDAPModified' for Yast::Users:Module

if Users.LDAPModified && (Ldap.anonymous || Ldap.bind_pass == nil)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Start the Ruby debugger now and debug the issue? (Experts only!)

Which is probably a matter of adapting the #WriteDialog method.

This step should be removed too:

Yeah, there is a lot to remove still, but once I hit the case where I couldn't proceed, I stopped "removing" since I could no longer test and I didn't want to cause more damage. So any help would be great :)

Ok, I'll jump in. Let's see how further I can go.

I manage to get CI green, but still changes to do. Specially in the documentation, where none LDAP reference has been removed yet.

ancorgs · 2022-08-25T09:26:33Z

There are quite some documents that mention the LDAP functionality. I guess they should also get updated to explicitly mention the functionality was there but was intentionally removed:
