You do wonder, if you could contribute here? Great! There are some recommendations, [wiki:AccountManagerPlugin/TicketBurndown where to start]. In any case, please respect our [wiki:License/MandatorySignOff rules for contributions], that are enforced for this plugin as of 01-Dec-2012. == Install == === Prerequisites === First make sure you’ve [trac:wiki:TracPlugins#Requirements installed setuptools]. Make sure you have a version >= 0.6c9, since previous versions contain a bug which makes the installation fail. Then you can install the plugin using the `easy_install` application. '''Note:''' Windows users will need to [http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#windows-notes add easy_install to their PATH]. === Release Status, Downloads and Source === || '''Stable Version''' ||easy_install https://trac-hacks.org/svn/accountmanagerplugin/tags/acct_mgr-0.4.3 ||[download:accountmanagerplugin/tags/acct_mgr-0.4.3 download] ||[http://trac-hacks.org/svn/accountmanagerplugin/tags/acct_mgr-0.4.3 subversion] || || Under Development ||easy_install https://trac-hacks.org/svn/accountmanagerplugin/trunk ||[download:accountmanagerplugin/trunk download] ||[http://trac-hacks.org/svn/accountmanagerplugin/trunk subversion] || Which version is best you? Likely the stable release, if not explicitly told otherwise. '''It works for any release starting from Trac 0.11 to 1.1.1.''' [source:/accountmanagerplugin Browse the source] with Trac to see more. I.e. there is the [source:/accountmanagerplugin/tags /tags] branch containing latest stable as well as previous plugin revisions by version tag. For Subversion checkout use {{{svn co }}} with appropriate URL (i.e. see links above).[[BR]] Code from branches suggesting the corresponding Trac version is available too, and it is in sync with tagged versions. But there is no `0.12`, and it will never be. Code from `0.11` branch works equally well for all Trac starting from 0.11 up to Trac 1.0 (current stable). Once we'll get to `acct_mgr-0.6` there will be a `1.0` folder indicating 'for Trac 1.0 or later'.[[BR]] Only if you inherited a really old install, the obsolete [source:accountmanagerplugin/0.10 0.10 branch] could still be interesting. '''Hint:''' Whether you are using `tracd` standalone server or a web-server, you must restart it to detect and load the plugin. '''On upgrades from previous plugin versions''' please see the [source:accountmanagerplugin/trunk/README.update README.update] file included in the source. === About i18n/l10n support === Starting with acct_mgr-0.3 this plugin has been prepared for localization.[[BR]] But English message texts are still the (POSIX) default. If this isn't your preferred language, you can 1. look, if it's already available from the [TracPluginTranslation Trac plugin l10n project] at [http://www.transifex.net/projects/p/Trac_Plugin-L10N/resource/acct_mgr-messages Transifex] or 2. do it yourself (see the [http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/CookBook/PluginL10N#Dotranslatorswork l10n cookbook page for Trac plugins] for more details). You've done a new translation? Superb! Contributing your translation is highly appreciated.[[BR]] You could send it to the plugin's maintainer or contribute to [TracPluginTranslation Trac plugin l10n project] via [http://www.transifex.net/projects/p/Trac_Plugin-L10N/ Transifex]: Top translations: Trac_Plugin-L10N » [http://www.transifex.net/projects/p/Trac_Plugin-L10N/resource/acct_mgr-messages/ acct_mgr-messages][[BR]] [[Image(transifex_acct_mgr-messages_v0.3.png, title=Status for acct_mgr-0.3, alt=translation coverage - stable release)]] [[Image(http://www.transifex.net/projects/p/Trac_Plugin-L10N/resource/acct_mgr-messages/chart/image_png, title=Go to Trac_Plugin-L10N project page on Transifex.net, link=http://www.transifex.net/projects/p/Trac_Plugin-L10N/resource/acct_mgr-messages/)]] Left: Status for acct_mgr-0.3, right: near-sync to `trunk` - kindly provided by [[Image(https://ds0k0en9abmn1.cloudfront.net/static/charts/images/tx-logo-micro.png, link=http://www.transifex.net/, title=the open translation platform, valign=bottom)]] Preparing the plugin from source requires '''no additional steps''' for compiling message catalog files. Only to include translations marked as `# fuzzy` by the translator, you'll want to do a manual message catalog compilation with the extra `-f` argument before packaging: {{{ cd accountmanagerplugin/ python ./setup.py compile_catalog -f python ./setup.py bdist_egg }}} Complaints about missing `locale` directory are often a side-effect of failure to compile any message catalog for inclusion into Python egg, hence the whole path is missing. Due to a know Trac issue Babel has to be installed prior to Trac, to get it all working as expected.[[BR]] Again, for more details see the [t:wiki:CookBook/PluginL10N#Compileanduseit l10n cookbook page for Trac plugins]. == Setup == === Components === In order to use the features of the !AccountManager you will need to enable some or all of its components. The available components are mentioned here, but are described in greater details on separate pages linked below. ||'''Component'''||'''Description/Purpose'''||'''Recommendation'''|| ||[wiki:AccountManagerPlugin/Modules#AccountManager AccountManager] ||This holds core code of this plugin. ||This component ''must'' be enabled to use any of the other components. See [wiki:AccountManagerPlugin/Modules#AccountManager details]. || ||[wiki:AccountManagerPlugin/Modules#AccountManagerAdminPanel AccountManagerAdminPanel]^1^ ||This component adds new pages to the web admin section.||The admin part for managing related parts of Trac's configuration^2^ should be an important part of what you're expecting. See [wiki:AccountManagerPlugin/Modules#AccountManagerAdminPanel details]. || ||[wiki:AccountManagerPlugin/Modules#AccountModule AccountModule] ||Allows users to manage their account^3^ via tab “Account” in users “Preferences”. ||The user accessible part, might be required or even forbidden depending on your use case. See [wiki:AccountManagerPlugin/Modules#AccountModule details]. || ||[wiki:AccountManagerPlugin/Modules#LoginModule LoginModule] ||Allows users to login via a HTML form instead of using HTTP authentication. ||Replace Trac's own login module for an alternative to Simple HTTP Authentication, but only one can be enable at a time. See [wiki:AccountManagerPlugin/Modules#LoginModule details]. || ||[wiki:AccountManagerPlugin/Modules#AccountGuard AccountGuard] ||This component adds login failure tracking and administrative account locking. ||Use it as part of your security policy to protect against brute-force attacks on user passwords. See [wiki:AccountManagerPlugin/Modules#AccountGuard details]. || ||[wiki:AccountManagerPlugin/RegistrationInspector#RegistrationModule RegistrationModule] ||It adds a “Register” link on metanav^4^. ||Enable users to register a new account with a configurable procedure. See [wiki:AccountManagerPlugin/RegistrationInspector#RegistrationModule details]. ||[wiki:AccountManagerPlugin/RegistrationInspector#EmailVerificationModule EmailVerificationModule] ||An new email address will trigger an email with a verification code to enter, to approve it is really users own email address, and user account privileges cut down until successful verification. ||Implement a verification process for added or changed email addresses, if required. See [wiki:AccountManagerPlugin/RegistrationInspector#EmailVerificationModule details]. || ^1^ Name in acct_mgr-0.3 was `AccountManagerAdminPage`. If you are upgrading to acct_mgr-0.4 from an earlier version, and this feature was enabled using `acct_mgr.admin.AccountManagerAdminPages`, this feature will now be disabled until it is enabled using `acct_mgr.admin.AccountManagerAdminPanel`.[[BR]] ^2^ Found in `trac.ini`[[BR]] ^3^ Change their password, or even delete their account, if permission granted by appropriate configuration[[BR]] ^4^ Same menu bar as the “Login” link The easiest way to learn about available components and enable them is via Trac's plugin admin page (before Trac 0.11 this has been a separate trac:WebAdmin plugin). Users logged in with the TRAC_ADMIN permission will be able to manage the enabled components: [[Image(components-admin_acct_mgr-0.4.png)]] Components can also be enabled or disabled in the [trac:TracIni trac.ini] file under the `[components]` section. === Configuration === You might feel overwhelmed by component dependencies, the number of options and their relation to components. This is a known issue, but is currently worked on, see #8930. Meanwhile [wiki:CookBook/AccountManagerPluginConfiguration configuration cookbook] is the single most recommended place to look for examples of basic configurations and more. == Post Setup/Configuration == In order to use the !AccountManager plugin, while logged in as a user owning `TRAC_ADMIN` rights, use the “Admin” link on the menubar. You might want to change some permission assignments. For instance, if you remove `TICKET_MODIFY` and `WIKI_MODIFY` permission from the “anonymous“ group and add it to the “authenticated” group instead, only authenticated, logged-in (registered) users can perform ticket modifications and wiki editing. `TRAC_ADMIN` is not strictly required for access to account administration pages provided by !AccountManager. The `ACCTMGR_*` permissions are sufficient, and should even be preferred where appropriate, i.e. to limit delegation of administrative tasks to just account administration by granting `ACCTMGR_USER_ADMIN`. == Recent Changes == [[ChangeLog(/accountmanagerplugin,3)]] == Author/Contributors == '''Author:''' [wiki:mgood] [[BR]] '''Maintainer:''' [wiki:hasienda] [[BR]] '''Contributors:''' [wiki:coderanger], [wiki:crocea], [wiki:janakj], [wiki:jun66j5], [wiki:manski], [wiki:mrelbe], [wiki:otaku42], [wiki:pacopablo], [wiki:riggs], [wiki:rjollos], [wiki:s0undt3ch], [wiki:lgaifax] [[BR]]
