Re: Using LDAP for WebHelp with Feedback authentication

Thanks Sorin. I've looked over about 6000+ lines of code to get familiar with the webhelp application. It looks to me like I just need to make the branch for LDAP validation in the "validate" function in the PHP User class. I will leave the session caching of user authentication info alone...

Re: Using LDAP for WebHelp with Feedback authentication

There are also queries that reference the user, product, and version as a triplet in another relationship that I haven't been able to infer yet. Can a user have different level and notification settings per product/version? This would be handy, since there could easily be different moderators for di...

Re: Using LDAP for WebHelp with Feedback authentication

There's a step I missed.

If the user is the administrator username, then bypass LDAP and authenticate via the database table.

Using LDAP for WebHelp with Feedback authentication

Has anyone tackled this yet? I have 2 days to attempt it. I have the PHP LDAP library I need, so I just need to replace the existing login functions to perform an LDAP query instead. Registration isn't necessary, since all employees are already in the LDAP accessible Active Directory database. I'm a...

Re: OpenInSystemAppOperation

Thanks for the reply. I think I understand now. The ${env(PWD)} is an Oxygen variable that is evaluated by Oxygen before the command is sent to the OS. So if I use echo $PWD instead as the command string, then Oxygen will pass the "$PWD" as an unevaluated literal string to the subprocess o...

Re: OpenInSystemAppOperation

I forgot to mention in the previous comment that I was echoing the current directory as well as other directories to figure out why Inkscape's working directory wasn't correct either, so I eliminated Inkscape and used a basic echo instead for debugging purposes.

We use RedHat Enterprise Linux.

So if we already have an existing fork of the DITA framework for 15.2, I'm assuming that we would perform directory diffs to isolate the existing changes to the base framework for 15.2, and then use the diff as a guide to construct the new framework extension this first time for 16.0.

The list of new features in 16.0 mentions that an existing framework can be extended. I searched, but couldn't find how this is accomplished. Is it done through the Document Type definition in Preferences or is it a Java-based extension mechanism?
