#3123 closed enhancement (wontfix)

A big enhancement for group lookup's

Reported by: Bas van der Vlies Owned by: Noah Kantrowitz
Priority: high Component: UnixGroupsPlugin
Severity: major Keywords:
Cc: Trac Release: 0.10

Description

First is the plugin still maintained?

I have just installed this plugin for trac version 0,10 and 0.11. I have the same problem as ticket #1818. We have a central LDAP database with a lot of groups (+/- 4000). The plugin wil fetch all the groups and check if the user is a member of this group. This causes a lot ldap lookups.

I have done some optimization for this plugin. First we get the the permission list with:

        permsys = PermissionSystem(self.ENV)
        perm_list = permsys.get_all_permissions()

And check if we have unix group and the username is a member of it. This reduce the ldap lookups. If you are interested i can attach the rewrite

If you are using LDAP, use the LdapPlugin. This is deisnged to be as simple as possible.

This can still be useful for sites that use NIS. This patch is only an enhancement also for other users. If i read your reply your are not interested in it and only use the LDAP setup for apache. So i will maintain the plugin

I don't use LDAP at all. There won't really be much difference for NIS, since I expect it would have exploded long ago if you tried to use that many groups with it. I just use the transfer /etc/passwd+groups memberships into Trac.
