  • Comment: Problem in data import if all the columns are not populated

    Logged In: YES user_id=37658 Oh yeah. Please fix this. I was able to re-order the rows in my import data so I had a record with the full set of fields first, but null values are common in many databases and it's easy to have the first row have less than the full set of fields. For that to then cause additional fields to be ignored from all records after the first one? That's a painful...

  • Followup: RE: LDAP Authentication

    I want to second this. We are using Kasai for our security and we will need to hook it to Microsoft's Active Directory in the near future to handle the authentication. I assume this would be an implementation of AuthService for AD or LDAP with changePassword, checkPassword, resetPassword, setPassword all filled in. I have a stupid follow up question for this. Our system will need to give...

  • Followup: RE: Creating a new user and their password

    It's nice to have encrypted passwords available if you want to use them. But that really doesn't fit the model that many many websites use. They want to have cleartext passwords which can be emailed or shown to the user if the user can authenticate in some other fashion (e.g. via a question). Generating a random password and emailing it is fine as an option but I don't think I'll ever have a...

  • Followup: RE: Creating a new user and their password

    I actually modified Kasai to work around this problem. As you observed, when the user is initially created the password is null so you can't change it if you want to. What I did was modify the code in the RDBMSAuthService so it would accept any password as correct while the user was still in the null state. Then the change password function works fine because whatever you pass in as an old...

  • Followup: RE: Where to find IronTrackSQL?

    If anyone is listening, I would like to hope that IronTrack is released under an open source license. We used it in the past and were very pleased. I assumed that the company would be charging for a "super" version of it eventually to fund development or was making its money from consulting related to database optimization.

  • Reset Password Problems

    As shipped it doesn't appear that the reset password functions can possibly work. They depend upon sending an email and the example Config.properties file for Kasai doesn't have the mail.from, mail.replyTo, etc. that it needs to have. The sample needs all those variables so people know to set them. The JavaMail mail.jar file was included with Kasai to send a new password but it won't...

  • Followup: RE: Next version

    I'd understand that it will be a little bit before you are ready with a new version. I'll just mention that there are others interested as well. I've just spent time looking at a variety of solutions for authentication and authorization in Java and I like Kasai pretty well. If there was admin screens and support for more databases than MySQL it would be a slam dunk. As it is I'm going to have...

  • Any chance of a more complete API?

    The del.icio.us API itself is rather restricted in what it can do because all the API functions revolve around a particular user's tagged bookmarks. What I want is to be able to rotate off and get to all the other information available on the site. The Python API mentioned in this article http://www.xml.com/lpt/a/2004/11/10/delicious.html is designed to do parsing of the HTML pages and uses...

  • Comment: RSS feeds are lost on restart

    Logged In: YES user_id=37658 A later version of the program wasn't creating the .hotsheet directory to save channels, items, and history into. You were fine if you already had the directory from a previous version of the program but if not then it wouldn't remember changes to the channels or items from one run to the next.
