  • [#1895] Fix cookie overflow after signing in via Shibboleth. Now the user data is not stored in the session anymore, only in the database. The session has a simple flag indicating if the user signed in via Shibboleth or not.
  • [#1843] Automatically generate unique usernames when creating accounts via Shibboleth and LDAP to avoid conflicts if users had the same name, for example.

02/09/2015

  • [#1651] New rake task to set a new dial number for all web conference rooms. To use it, set a dial number pattern in the website and run rake mconf:generate_dial_numbers to set dial numbers on all rooms
  • [#1404] Now the "principal name" is used as the identifier for ShibTokens. There's a migration related to this change, please read: https://github.com/mconf/mconf-web/wiki/Shibboleth:-migrate-users-to-use-EPPN
  • [#1423] User information (email and name) are now automatically updated when the user signs in via Shibboleth. Will only happen if the flag shib_update_users is enabled in the website and if the user account was created by Shibboleth (so existent accounts associated with Shibboleth credentials will not be automatically updated). The flag shib_update_users is disabled by default. If enabled, the information that is automatically updated will also not be editable by the user anymore, to prevent confusion. There's a migration related to this change, please read: https://github.com/mconf/mconf-web/wiki/Shibboleth:-migrate-users-to-use-EPPN
  • [#1368] Users that have accounts created by Shibboleth are not able to sign in locally anymore, only via Shibboleth. They are also not able to change their password anymore, since their password on Mconf-Web has no use. There's a migration related to this change, please read: https://github.com/mconf/mconf-web/wiki/Shibboleth:-migrate-users-to-use-EPPN
  • [#1711] Superusers are now able to sign in even without an active enrollment. To remove access to superusers, just make them normal users again.
  • [#1709] Dates in invitations to meetings now observe daylight savings time.
  • [#1708] The list of enrollments that can record meetings is now configurable in the management page (not hard-coded anymore).
  • [#1465] Fix cropping for small images and make the redirects after the crop more consistent.
  • [#1763] New options to moderate spaces and to forbid users to create spaces. Spaces created with moderation will not be seen by any user other than the creator until an admin approves it. If the option to forbid users to create spaces is set, only admins will be able to create spaces.
  • [#1737] Fix creation of recent activities when a user signs in via Shibboleth.
  • [#1681] Users can't request to join a space they already belong to.
  • [#1719] Fix redirects that would occasionally send the user back to a modal window that would not actually open as a modal window.
  • [#1721] Fix redirects that would occasionally send the user back to a conference or the feedback form right after signing in.
  • [#1769] Fix enabling the input for the message when inviting people to a space, it was always disabled when it shouldn't.
  • [#1778] Update the data in Shibboleth tokens after every successful user sign in. So now checking the data in the session or checking the data in ShibToken#data should be the same when a user is signed in via Shibboleth.
  • Fix strings with using the wrong language for Android/iOS tooltips.

Notes:

  • Important changes related to Shibboleth:
    • Users that sign in only using Shibboleth will not be able to edit their email and name. These attributes will be updated automatically from the data received from Shibboleth every time the user signs in. There's a flag to enable/disable this automatic update that is false by default, meaning the attributes will not be automatically updated.
    • Now the application uses the field configure as the "principal name" as the identifier for the tokens used to sign in people via Shibboleth. There's a migration to automatically update all tokens to use the new identifier.
    • Users that were created via Shibboleth but later had local authentication enabled for them (by setting a password), will lose access to the local authentication. This has to be fixed by setting new_account=false to their ShibTokens.
    • There's a wiki page with more information about these changes and troubleshoot: https://github.com/mconf/mconf-web/wiki/Shibboleth:-migrate-users-to-use-EPPN
