[ mailman-Bugs-885808 ] unsubscribing without password

Similarly, but less important, please add an email command to have mailman report back the user's password, so that web access is not needed if the user has forgotten their password and wishes to use email commands that require it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Barry A.

Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2004-01-30 22:01 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 Part of your problem is that Python does not come with Asian encodings out of the box. You will have to add Chinese codecs to get anywhere at all. CJKCodecs are probably your best bet: http://cjkpython.i18n.org However, once you get that installed, you may still have problems. The Chinese translations are very much out of date and need a champion to help work at updating them. If you're interested in helping, please contact mailman-i18n(a)python.org. In the meantime, I'm going to close this issue. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=887806&group_i…

[ mailman-Patches-871062 ] A MemberAdaptor for LDAP-based membership

by SourceForge.net

Patches item #871062, was opened at 2004-01-05 12:09 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by fubarobfusco You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=871062&group_i… Category: list administration Group: Mailman 2.1 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: K. A. Krueger (fubarobfusco) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: A MemberAdaptor for LDAP-based membership Initial Comment: This is a module, LDAPMemberships, which extends MemberAdaptor to support membership lists based on a search in an enterprise LDAP directory. With this module, you can make mailing lists which, rather than having a list of member addresses stored in the list, query your LDAP server for member addresses whenever necessary. For instance, if you wish to have a mailing list of all the Vice Presidents in your company, you can express this as an LDAP search: "(title=Vice President*)" and create a mailing list which performs this search and delivers mail to the resulting user accounts when a message is sent to it. This way, rather than manually adding new Vice Presidents to the mailing list, you can simply have Human Resources update the LDAP records, and the change will immediately take effect for the mailing list. Mailman lists with LDAP-based membership can still have moderators, list policies, and the other usual features of Mailman lists. There are a few missing features; notably: 1. There is no bounce processing. 2. There are no per-user preferences. 3. The Web interface still allows you to try setting user preferences, but if you do you will get a stack thrown at you. (Only the "readable" interface of MemberAdaptor is implemented.) 4. The LDAP settings of a list (e.g. LDAP server and search string) are only administrable by editing its "extend.py" file, not over the Web. 5. There is no digest mode. To use this module, you must have the "ldap" Python module installed (aka "python-ldap"). Then just put LDAPMemberships.py in the "Mailman" directory (~mailman/Mailman), create a new list, and write an "extend.py" file in the list directory like so: ##### from Mailman.LDAPMemberships import LDAPMemberships def extend(list): ldap = LDAPMemberships(list) ldap.ldapsearch = "(title=Vice President*)" # members search string ldap.ldapserver = "ldap.example.net" # your enterprise LDAP server ldap.ldapbasedn = "dc=Example dc=net" # your LDAP base DN ldap.ldapbinddn = '' # a bind DN which can read people's 'mail' field ldap.ldappasswd = '' # the password for the bind DN list._memberadaptor = ldap ##### This module has been tested at my site and is in production on a Mailman 2.1.2 installation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: K. A. Krueger (fubarobfusco) Date: 2004-01-26 15:35 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=944208 Yet another new version (0.3) of LDAPMemberships.py. This one fixes some ambiguities with LDAP record handling, particularly for users with multiple "cn" values, and those who send mail as their "mailalternateaddress" field address rather than their "mail" field. If anyone is actually using this, please email me and let me know :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: K. A.
