s4:samdb/tools - That should fix now the last failures

s4:python tools - try to fix some test problems

s4:samdb.py - further rework

2009-09-19T19:57:41+00:00

- I added a comment to the "new user" operation to point out that this works
  only on s4, since we add also ID mapping entries for winbind there
- The "new user" operation adds now the password through the "set password"
  operation which I find better due to the re-use principle
- Remove the word "DC" after "SAMBA 4" in the comment over the "set password"
  operation since this note and operation applies also to s4 in standalone mode

s4:samdb.py - Unification of the interfaces

2009-09-18T18:27:30+00:00

- When a user account is requested by a call always the search filter will be
  passed as argument. This helps us to unify the API
- Add/fix some comments; in particular new comments inform the developer which
  requirements exist if he wants to use calls which manipulate the
  "userPassword" attribute (On s4 no problem - but on certain domain levels on
  Windows Server)

Revert "s4: Let the "setpassword" script finally use the "samdb_set_password" routine"

2009-09-09T22:48:19+00:00

This reverts commit fdd62e9699b181a140292689fcd88a559bc26211.

abartlet and I agreed that this isn't the right way to enforce the password
policies. Sooner or later we've to control them anyway on the directory level.

s4:setpassword script - Passwords set by this script are set by the administrator not the user

s4: Let the "setpassword" script finally use the "samdb_set_password" routine

2009-09-07T10:29:34+00:00

The "setpassword" script should use the "samdb_set_password" call to change
the NT user password. Windows Server tests show that "userPassword" is not the
right place to save the NT password and does not inherit the password complexity.

s4: Major rework of the LDB/SAMDB/IDMAP python bindings

2009-08-17T09:58:40+00:00

- Centralise the lookups for the default domain (root) in the call "domain_dn"
- Reduce the LDB connections attempts ("connect" calls) from three to one
  - tools should load faster
- Make the LDB connection init more like the "ldb_wrap_connection" call
- Load the right UTF8 casefolder which fixes up problems with special characters
  (discovered by me: e.g. small "Umlaute" (ä, ö, ü, ...) in the DN weren't upcased
  - so records "seemed" lost in TDB)

Revert "s4:samdb python bindings - we don't need the attributes here"

2009-08-17T09:06:39+00:00

This reverts commit 53ef426e6f68728763436bd0cd3dd91180c00579.

As abartlet pointed out this causes to load all attributes and therefore gives
us more here than we need (only the check for the DN)!

s4:provision Move helper functions back to provision

2009-08-16T23:50:57+00:00

(These will be added back in a future commit)
