[Bug 600780] [NEW] Login function needed in rest-client
Public bug reported: For a good, working Mailman 3.0 UI we have to handle the passwords for each user (needed when they subscribe/unsubscribe/want to access their settings page but also for the admins and listowners). Hence, we need to implement the possibility to check for passwords in the rest-client (I believe these are saved in the user table in the core DB) and/or a login function. We should probably use https for the psw authentication. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: mailman3 rest-api -- Login function needed in rest-client https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/600780 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman.
Or well, we need to implement this functionality to the rest-server to be able to implement it in the rest-client. -- Login function needed in rest-client https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/600780 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman.

*ouch*. I'd really prefer that to be something configurable. I don't particularly want to run lists stuff over SSL. -- "I only can properly enjoy carol services if I am having an illicit affair with someone in the congregation. Why is this?

Hm, you might be right... I was just worried about security when sending the password between the rest-client and the server. Making it configurable would also be nice for debugging. -- Login function needed in rest-client https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/600780 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman.
