New AD Search
I added a new directory search to Zope, which returns the important fields for an individual user. More
Changed Search Product
I finished changes to the ldap search product and asked it to be moved to production. More
More Reports
I ran some reports to track down our problem childrenin Active Directory. I improved some muletrain commands to do this. More
New Bug
I'm working on a fix to the employee update sscript. It doesn't correctly handle the case when an employee is removed from ldap. More
Bug Chasing
I spent most of the day chasing down bugs in my scripts. I am modifying DeltadataCommand.pm to support the revised employee_update.cmd More
Inching Forward
I finished testing DeltadataCommand and DeltafileCommand and moved the changes to production. There's still a problem, which I think I will have to fix by implementing case independent search. I straightened out the delivery problems I was having with the phone directory. Things should be working ... More
Something Done
I verified that the updates to LDAPSearch were moved to production and then updated the Institute phone directory search. And I funished nodifying the employee update script and turned the cron job back on. More
Sideways
The problem with the employee update script proved to be more elusive than I thought. I modified LdapCommand to fix the problem, but haven't finished testing the fix. There was a problem with the missing ldap fields script which I found and fixed. I also put together a list of my gripes against ... More
Finished Update Script
I finished changing the employee update script to remove employees who have left. I also changed the phone update script to bring it in line with the employee update script. I started work on modifying the RSS feed product to work with the new blog. More
Not So Fast
Over the weekend I realized there was a problem with the employee update script. I made and tested a fix this morning and then made a matching fix to the phone update script. I went back to updating the RSSFeed Zope product. I'm still not finished. More
RSS Feeds
I spent the day working on modifying the RSSFeed product to work with the Universe blog feed. I have a good idea where I'm going, but I'm not done yet. More
Feed Finished
I finished my rewrite of the RSSFeed product and put in on develop to be evaluated. I started trying to get my hands around the bad data problem in LDAP and Active Directory. More
Rework
I added add and delete subcommands to LdapCommand to support the cleanup effort. I wrote additional tests, but have not run them yet. I was asked to add an update method to the RSSFeed product, so it can be poked, which I made and tested, and the test was moved to production. More
Bug Swatting
I answered questions about the ldap to active directory migration and worked on debugging the add and delete subcommands in LdapCommand. More
Still Swatting
I solved some problems with the add and delete subcommands in LdapCommand, but not yet all. I needed to add code to TextdbCommand to convert comma separated lists to arrays and back again. More
Finished Something
I finished my changes to LdapCommand and TextdbCommand and checked them into git. We now can add and delete records from ldap. I generated a report for John of all accounts in iPlanet ldap where there is no corresponding account in Active Directory. More
More Reports
I generated new reports of people in ldap but not in ad and and people in ad but not in ldap. To aid this, I added the fields parameter to JoinCommand. I also generated another report of people whose telephoneNumber and ipPhone fields in ad do not agree. More
Unicode Woes
I spent the day investigating issues around entries in Active Directory in unicode and Zope. More
Support Work
I handled several support issues for the Conference Registration site. A problem was reported with the floorlist report and I fixed it. There's another issue with viewing a conference registration that I'm currently working on. More
