We need to non-shell account authentication. You can use something like mod_auth_pgsql or another thing (I can't recall the name) that git actually suggests. Sincerely, Joshua D.

I did get an email from you at that address, but it did not contain any questions or action items, so I just archived it. The plan is to try out gitosis for account management. I have no experience with this, so we'd need to play around with it first. ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 12+ messages in thread

Peter, Just FYI if you find you don't like that direction, let me know and I would gladly show you how I did it for pgweb with SVN... I believe it would work out of the box for the git stuff.

It's an interesting plan, but it's one that's preventing people from using the service. How about shelving that plan for the moment and handing out access as needed to developers? :) Cheers, David. -- David Fetter <[email protected]> http://fetter.org/ Phone: +1 415 235 3778 AIM: dfetter666 Yahoo!: dfetter Skype: davidfetter XMPP: [email protected] Remember to vote!

Handing more access out in an uncontrolled way will give us a lot more work cleaning things up later. //Magnus ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 12+ messages in thread

This resource is incredibly easy to maintain--and practically useless--because nobody can get on there. If somebody or somebodies here is thinking about some kind of single sign-on[1] system for developers, let's discuss that separately. I don't recall anybody deciding that we were going to use one, and I certainly don't recall that it's been decided that that decision gates access to git.postgresql.org. Cheers, David. [1] For me, "single sign-on" reads as "high-value target" from an attacker's point of view, and I generally think the convenience isn't worth the cascading failure modes such systems have. -- David Fetter <[email protected]> http://fetter.org/ Phone: +1 415 235 3778 AIM: dfetter666 Yahoo!: dfetter Skype: davidfetter XMPP: [email protected] Remember to vote!

That is something I can get behind. We don't need to be handing out yet more shell accounts. Sincerely, Joshua D. Drake ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 12+ messages in thread

Meanwhile, people's inability to use them is costing us. People are hosting projects outside our system, not because they don't like our system, but because they can't get a workable SCM from pgfoundry or anywhere else inside our system.

Adding more administrators to that pile does not help the problem, it merely moves the problem of automation tools to another place.
