[Enterprise Plone] Commercial support for Chameleon 2

Malthe Borch — 2011-03-26T17:52:45

Chameleon is ready for beta testing.

It's running in production on my own web site and seems to work
flawlessly on a vanilla 4.1b1 deployment. I'm also using it with
z3c.jbot.

I have been encouraged to provide commercial support for the package
and have decided to offer it as a relative bargain, in the hope that
many enterprise organizations will want to chip in:

For other kinds of support, please get in touch.

Thanks for your consideration.

Looks like the up to date link for ZSyncer is 
  http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Products.ZSyncer

Release 1.0.3 was made on 2010-10-07.

Links to look at:
http://plone.org/products/plone-multisite
http://plone.org/products/zsyncer

An approach to consider is for each site to have their own workspace folder,
which they update. After sync, all sites have all the content, but they only
create and edit content in their own folders. That way, conflicts don't
arise.

Then you can use collections to present content from all sites; e.g. a
/newsletters/ collection gathers newsletters from /site1/newsletters/ and
/site2/newsletters/

Re: [Enterprise Plone] TACACS Support

Kees Hink — 2010-07-13T08:22:58

Plone has a method to authenticate using an external system. It's called PAS,
for Pluggable Authentication System. Several PAS plugins have been developed
for authenticating with OpenId, LDAP, SQL databases, etc. There's no PAS plugin
for TACACS yet.

Is there any method/plugin that can be employed to use TACACS for
authentication?

Re: [Enterprise Plone] Active Directory Auth not working, but query OK

Larry Pitcher — 2010-07-05T18:34:41

Aaron,

You may have seen it already, but I've written a small article about 
Active Directory and Plone here: 
http://www.catapultsolutions.net/resources/plone-cms-talks-w-ms-active-directory.html

It may have some tips that could help you. I found it was a necessity to 
use the Apache Directory Studio tool to figure out the AD properties, 
but it sounds like you may already have that figured out.

I don't know why Plone wouldn't be trying to authenticate against AD if 
the auth plugin is enabled and at the top of the list...

You might just double-check that if you haven't already.

HTH,

[Enterprise Plone] Active Directory Auth not working, but query OK

Aaron Paxson — 2010-07-04T03:32:41

All, I'm integrating my Plone installation as our Worldwide Corporate
Intranet.

In installed the Active Directory Multi plugin using the tutorial
(http://plone.org/documentation/kb/authenticating-with-active-directory). 
LDAP python support is working.

I configured Active Directory Multi plugin, and it queries the groups and
users perfectly.  I can query against sAMAccountName or CN, or groups.

But, when authenticating, nothing happens (login failed).  I did a packet
trace on my domain controller..... and nothing happens when I try to
authenticate.  (but, what *IS* wierd, is that I see packet data to the DC
when I log in as the local plone admin.  I do not have an account named
'admin' in Active Directory).

I verified that my Active Directory plugin is at the top of the "Active
Authentication" plugins list and the "authentication" plugin is active.

What am I doing wrong?  I've tried to enable DEBUG logging at the zope
client level, but it doesn't show anything.  Just commits stuff.

Can anyone guide me to taking the next steps for troubleshooting?  Ive tried
so many different AD tutorials, but I just can't seem to get this to work. 
It's an AD 2003 environment, but I don't think that matters.

I really appreciate it.  Thank you in advance!

There is a product for zope called ZSyncer (http://plone.org/products/zsyncer) but I don't think it is maintained any more. It uses zope's import/export functionality to sync objects between sites.

I guess that is a wider policy decision than just a Plone decision. Who's updates would you want to take priority over others? What if all 3 sites changed an object at the same time?

You could probably hook something up to use a distributed version control system such as git or mercurial to do the actual change tracking and merging. When you saved an object it would need to take the content of it and commit it to a local branch, then merge all those changes when the WAN link comes up.

So I think it would be possible, but certainly not something do-able straight out of the box. If your content types were very simple and you were versioning just the body of the content then it might make it a bit easier and an approach such as above might work. Plone has a very strong events system that would allow you to trigger events when an object is saved and then run some code to put those changes in some log that would then by synced later on... but again you'd need to roll your sleeves up and get stuck in.

[Enterprise Plone] multisite plone with asynchronous datareplication

fredFR — 2010-05-12T11:22:31

I have 3 sites with non permanent private WAN link. On each site, I will
install a plone's server for internal CMS services. So, in each site, users
have normal write access locally.
Every night I want to schedule a replication between all 3 plone's server to
synchronize all data. It's very similar as Lotus Domino replication task.
Solution as ZRS not permit this function, and I do not found any information
in the web for Plone !

Question 1) 
How can I synchronize all data between sites each night ?

Question 2)
If a data object will be modify at the same time in two sites on the same
day, how can I manage the modify conflict?

Thanks for your help.

Re: [Enterprise Plone] Apache vs. Nginx

Laurence Rowe — 2009-12-20T18:55:27

If you're caching (and presumably you are if you the type of load that
will take down apache hits your plone site) it makes a lot of sense
just to run Varnish as your frontend.

[Enterprise Plone] hardening Plone - a military-strength CMS

Nate Aune — 2009-11-25T21:13:45

for those of you who weren't at the plone conference, there was a talk
by Kees Hink and Kim Chee Leong about hardening Plone.

This document describes how to secure your Plone site. It is based on
a use case of a high-security project, that has been audited by Ernst
& Young, and Pine Digital Security. Both companies have approved the
Plone site and underlying infrastructure. The implementation was
granted a certificate from certifiedsecure.eu
http://plone.org/documentation/how-to/securing-plone/

here are the slides from their presentation.
http://www.slideshare.net/khink/hardening-plone-a-militarystrength-cms

the video is also probably available on uStream.tv
