SEJeffSo any update on the next version of the wikid server?18:38
SEJeffThe one that will do web sync and allow multimaster?18:38
nowenSEJeff: hello18:38
SEJeffnowen, Morning :D18:38
nowenhehe18:39
nowenI am supposed to see a version this week or early next week18:39
nowenwhich could be very close to beta18:39
SEJeffAwesome!18:39
SEJeffnowen, Is there any chance I could ask your engineers to build in a really nice feature?18:39
nowenthere certainly is18:40
SEJeffThe feature that AD does natively by setting the static ip of a user18:40
SEJeffand the vpn concentrator hands that ip to the user. We use it to set the last 4 digits of the ip address to the extension of the user's voip phone18:40
SEJeffSo it is really easy to get ahold of someone if they are doing something stupid over our vpn18:40
nowencan AD do that anyway via radius?18:41
SEJeffWell you set a field in AD18:41
SEJeffand the radius server hands that to the vpn concentrator18:41
SEJeffand gives them that ip18:41
SEJeffnowen, The radius attribute name is: Framed-IP-Address18:42
SEJeffBut we're unable to get it to work by manually setting it in wikid18:42
nowenhmm18:42
nowenare you running the auth through AD via nps or ias?18:42
SEJeffWith wikid, we aren't18:42
SEJeffbut we set the attributed on the user18:42
SEJeffin wikid18:42
SEJeffno love18:42
nowenyeah, it seems that  the finest tuned we are is group or network client18:43
SEJeffRight18:43
SEJeffOh well heh. I tried to hack around it by creating a group for 1 user and assigning that attribute to it18:44
nowenbut if you ran the auths through AD, I think it could be done that way18:44
nowenand that didn't work?18:44
SEJeffNo we have the wikid server in a DMZ18:44
SEJeffDoesn't talk to AD at all18:44
SEJeffcompletely separate18:44
nowenfyi, we have a company that has their WiKID server inside and has an apache server in the dmz, forwarding requests to WiKID18:45
SEJeffThats no a bad idea18:45
SEJeffapache's mod_proxy18:45
SEJeffbut our management wants wikid in the DMZ18:45
SEJeffcompletely separate18:45
nowendoing a per-user radius attribute a la AD makes me a bit uncomfortable18:47
SEJeffWhat exactly do you mean?18:47
nowenwell, we have per network client and per-group.18:47
SEJeffSo when we add a user to vpn access group (non-wikid vpn), the desktop support guys right click on a user in AD via the windows stuff18:48
nowendoing per user means another interface and more complexity18:48
SEJeffcheck the box for static ip, then type it in18:48
SEJeffnowen, That would just be a very nice feature18:48
nowenright, but how do we do that in wikid?18:48
SEJeffper-user radius attributes18:48
nowenyeah.18:49
SEJeffand the Framed-IP-Address attribute :)18:49
SEJeffWith a fancy ui ontop of it18:49
nowenwhich means a new UI for users18:49
nowenhehe18:49
nowenyea18:49
SEJeffI do a good bit of django web development for internal tools18:49
nowenand more QA etc, etc18:49
SEJeffCan't speak for jsp, but for django, this would be sooo easy18:49
nowendevelopment is just one part of it... ;)18:49
SEJeffindeed18:50
SEJeffunit tests18:50
SEJeffand ponies18:50
SEJeffnowen, But basically, it would be really nice for us to set the static IP for each user18:51
SEJeffwe can't with wikid now18:52
noweni hear you.18:52
SEJeffThat is the only regression when moving to wikid18:52
SEJeffand our desktop support team is none-too pleased with it18:52
SEJeffditto for our neteng team18:52
nowenbut you could, if you ran the auth through AD ;)18:52
SEJeffnowen, Any chance you could put docs on the suggested way to proxy wikid with apache?18:53
nowensure18:53
SEJeffI'll show it to management and see what they think18:53
nowenok18:54
SEJeffAnd can you explain that architecture to me?18:59
SEJeffHow wikid is proxied by apache to AD18:59
SEJeffWe're trying to minimize our attack vectors as much as possible18:59
nowensure19:18
nowenalthough now I have to think about it19:20
nowenon our web server, we also run a WiKID server19:20
nowenwe put wikid on a different port19:20
nowenthen we use mod_rewrite:19:20
nowenRewriteRule ^/wikid/(.*) http://localhost:8090/wikid/$1 [P]19:20
nowenbut for a different box, you would want to use proxy19:21
nowenI remember now who did it.  just emailed them for the details19:24
nowenok - gotta go to microcenter to pick up a bunch of computer parts :-)20:12
nowenbe back in a bit20:12
