enabling globbing user "*"

[trac@…]

Hi,

currently the pseudo-user "*" is missing in dropdown list. This catch-all is required if you want assign read-access to / to world.

eg

[project:/]
* = r

is currently not possible with this plugin :)

bye

it is also necessary to restrict global from a subfolder:

[project:/my/very/secret]

• =

[anonymous]

I have an existing authz file like this:

[groups]
my-commiters = rod,jane,freddy

[/]
* = r
@my-commiters = rw

But neither path shows up in the GUI. I guess it's the * that fails it?

[anonymous]

oop, that above comment was by me

[rupert thurner]

for the plugin displays * on every position correctly. never tried a group with "-" though.

Replying to anonymous:

I have an existing authz file like this:

[groups]
my-commiters = rod,jane,freddy

[/]
* = r
@my-commiters = rw

But neither path shows up in the GUI. I guess it's the * that fails it?

Trivial patch to always add * to the member list as first element for paths, but not for groups

[Tim Niemueller]

The added patch allow for adding * as a user to a path.

Dashes in a group name are no problem, we use it here as well. Actually the setup you mention is quite similar to what we have here, so looks like a "should work"...
