Description Florian Best

2014-10-10 11:22:33 CEST

A settings/umc_operationset currently consists of the two LDAP attributes:
'umcOperationSetCommand' (restriction on umc commands and option patterns)
'umcOperationSetFlavor' (restriction on module flavors)

The ACL evaluation of UMC knows another attribute (which will never exists):
'umcOperationSetHost' (allows restriction of specific hosts, system roles or univentionService entries)

We needed the restriction of a flavor to a specific systemrole now (system-setup certificate flavor). The current solution for this was a UCR template which deactivates the flavor on non-master roles.

We don't need this feature that often, so maybe the ACLs evaluation should be simplified to remove the things which are not present in settings/umc_operationset.
Also: The restriction of hosts, systemrole and univentionService could be moved into the XML module(/flavor) definition. At least for the systemrole this would be good, as this is needed in practice. But it's not needed for specific ACLs.

This maybe also has advantages in performance, we had cases in big environments where ACL evaluation took long time.
