a flexible LDAP management tool
From the root of the source tree run:
python setup.py install
or
sudo python setup.py install
The tool should now work properly when installed in virtualenv.
cog --help
cog [-p|--profile profile ] user --help
cog [-p|--profile profile ] group --help
cog [-p|--profile profile ] netgroup --help
cog [-p|--profile profile ] access --help
The tool copies its configuration files into ~/.cog on first run; the
system-wide configuration is in /etc/cog, the settings are merged when
the tool is being run. This version of cog supports storing user
credentials in your system's wallet/keyring/keychain: add use_keyring: true to your settings file in order to enable it.
To start using the tool please either create a new profile similar to the default (“local”) and set up is as default or simply edit the local profile in the global settings file to your tastes.
List of available account types (roles) is available through
cog user type -l
Cog is a work in progress and still in an early stage of development – feel free to request features and send patches. See the TODO.md file for the list of the improvements that will be implemented first.
I'm trying to use the git-flow (in the avh flavour), see that you either have the git-flow package installed or check out the gitflow-avh sources and install the extension manually.
After cloning the repository for the first time, please run sh flow-init
– it will initialise git flow with the values I'm using.
- Python-ldap does not agree with libldap shipped with OS X Yosemite, using non-system build of openldap libraries for python-ldap is probably the best solution. If you're using Homebrew, please install openldap (from the homebrew/dupes tap), and change python-ldap's setup.cfg to include /usr/local/opt/openldap/{lib,include} before any other paths listed (you need to install python-ldap manually for that until the paths get fixed upstream).
- cog requires locale settings that use UTF-8,
- error handling is abysmal, exceptions are thrown everywhere,
- existing tests are broken,
To test you must also install the following dependencies:
- python-nose
- python-mock
To run all tests, run the following in the root directory:
nosetests
To install cog you need:
- pbr
- passlib
- python-setuptools
- python-ldap
- PyYAML
- keyring
- sshpubkeys
