Description Arvid Requate univentionstaff 2013-02-07 12:34:50 CET
udm users/user returns broken jpegPhoto data:

  jpegPhoto: Lw==

This is caused by double base64 encoding (unmapBase64 + syntax.jpegPhoto).

avoid broken jpegPhoto syntax
Comment 2 Alexander Kläser univentionstaff 2013-02-13 10:10:04 CET
How did the problem happen? Via the CLI? An even better syntax choice would be Base64Upload (as it is used for userCertificate).

fixBase64Syntax and jpegPhoto

@Alex: you are right. For another case I implemented a specialized GzipBase64Upload syntax, maybe its a good idea to define a similar thing here which uses e.g. the builtin imghdr python module to do basic content validation.

Looking at this stuff again, I think the base64 en/decoding should be done in univention.admin.syntax only and removed from univention.admin.mapping. It's useless to parse the input in univention.admin.syntax and then throw the result away just to do the same again in the mapping part on the way to LDAP. The mapping was introduced for users/user jpegPhoto and userCertificate only. The attached patch fixes this , so base64 handling is done in the syntax.parse/tostring part exclusively.
Comment 4 Lukas Walter univentionstaff 2013-09-11 16:38:53 CEST
I simply corrected the jpegPhoto syntax.

Though, it would be a good idea to think about the mapping concept in general. Everything the mappings do right now could be moved to the syntax classes as well: Bug #32564.

Checking for text[0] does not make to much sense, does it?
Comment 6 Arvid Requate univentionstaff 2013-09-11 19:00:56 CEST
Also, as noted above, I would recommend the inclusion of a parse method, which does

  def parse(self, text):
    try:
      value=base64.decode(text)
      assert imghdr.what(None, value) == 'jpeg'
    except:
       raise uexceptions.valueError('Value must be Base64 encoded jpeg')


Otherwise the syntax is not very useful at all.
Comment 7 Arvid Requate univentionstaff 2013-09-11 19:02:20 CEST
Should use base64.b64encode  and  base64.b64decode  to avoid line wrapping.
Comment 8 Lukas Walter univentionstaff 2013-09-13 15:44:29 CEST
Adapted.
Comment 9 Erik Damrose univentionstaff 2013-09-27 16:04:04 CEST
