    10 * How to import LDAP users in `CubicWeb`?

    11 

    12   Here is a very useful script which enables you to import LDAP users

    13   into your `CubicWeb` application by running the following: ::

    14 

    15 

    16     import os

    17     import pwd

    18     import sys

    19 

    20     from logilab.common.db import get_connection

    21 

    22     def getlogin():

    23         """avoid usinng os.getlogin() because of strange tty / stdin problems

    24         (man 3 getlogin)

    25         Another solution would be to use $LOGNAME, $USER or $USERNAME

    26         """

    27         return pwd.getpwuid(os.getuid())[0]

    28 

    29 

    30     try:

    31         database = sys.argv[1]

    32     except IndexError:

    33         print 'USAGE: python ldap2system.py <database>'

    34         sys.exit(1)

    35 

    36     if raw_input('update %s db ? [y/n]: ' % database).strip().lower().startswith('y'):

    37         cnx = get_connection(user=getlogin(), database=database)

    38         cursor = cnx.cursor()

    39 

    40         insert = ('INSERT INTO euser (creation_date, eid, modification_date, login, firstname, surname, last_login_time, upassword) '

    41                   "VALUES (%(mtime)s, %(eid)s, %(mtime)s, %(login)s, %(firstname)s, %(surname)s, %(mtime)s, './fqEz5LeZnT6');")

    42         update = "UPDATE entities SET source='system' WHERE eid=%(eid)s;"

    43         cursor.execute("SELECT eid,type,source,extid,mtime FROM entities WHERE source!='system'")

    44         for eid, type, source, extid, mtime in cursor.fetchall():

    45             if type != 'CWUser':

    46                 print "don't know what to do with entity type", type

    47                 continue

    48             if source != 'ldapuser':

    49                 print "don't know what to do with source type", source

    50                 continue

    51             ldapinfos = dict(x.strip().split('=') for x in extid.split(','))

    52             login = ldapinfos['uid']

    53             firstname = ldapinfos['uid'][0].upper()

    54             surname = ldapinfos['uid'][1:].capitalize()

    55             if login != 'jcuissinat':

    56                 args = dict(eid=eid, type=type, source=source, login=login,

    58                 print args

    59                 cursor.execute(insert, args)

    60                 cursor.execute(update, args)

    61 

    62         cnx.commit()

    63         cnx.close()
