Hi Nick,

Is there any guidance on setting up IIS to test the kerberos page in v9? I was sure i'd seen something, but i can't for the life of me find it now! I thought you mentioned something about entering IP ranges and changing authentication modes.

 

Sorry to be high maintenance!!

Feature request for the booking sheet!

 

When booking a hardware resource, would it be possible to add in an agreement section? For example we've just got an (eurgh) ipad trolley with 30 iPads in it which is now bookable to anywhere in the school, what I'd like is that when someone books this resource in the booking sheet, a part of the requirement for booking it is an agreement that gets logged stating something like "I agree that i will check all items included before and after use" (ideally that statement would be customisable) maybe if it was an option we could enable on specific resources via means of a tick box......

 

Does this sound like a viable option?

Looks great nick. Did you manage to squeeze in the request for changing the way the "unavailable" works so that you could block out more than one session if you wanted. I now we were playing with the custom actions...not sure if you got further with it..

I haven't managed to look any more at the custom actions, other stuff has come up, and at this point, I'd rather get v9 out the door and then go back to sort that beta feature out, if that's ok?

Yep, no worries. Just checking you hadn't forgotten me :). The Kerberos stuf will be mighty handy... Already doing that for other internal stuff via tmg :)

Here's the change log, it's a big one (biggest change log (number of features not size of the features))

 

 

  • Fixed: Issue where updating or filing a ticket would reset to the old layout
  • Added: Permalinks for the help desk
  • Removed: some legacy debug bits from the iCalGenerator
  • Fixed: Issue with non alpha numerical characters in the HTML4 uploader
  • Removed: Debug Lines from the Quota Services
  • Removed: more debug lines from the quota service
  • Increased: Mobile CSS from 768px to 780px
  • Fixed: Multilesson Override
  • Set CSS to nowrap on file name label. This avoids seeing a blank filename if the filename is a long single word, and ensures that you always see file size.
  • Note: The existing text-overflow ellipsis does not appear to take effect.
  • Booking Tile: Exclude from the bookings tile historical bookings that happened in the past. These are display if you have the clean booking xml functionality set to false
  • Fix: Splitting of username containing a \ - I believe we need to use indexof+1 to return just the username part as opposed to \
  • Fix: Pass correct user to AD lookup when using windows authentication. This is mainly tested and works when behind an ISA server + Kerberos environment. - Without this, HomeDirectory is null generating JSON exception in converter.cs-FormatMapping
  • Removed: debug code from the Download handler
  • Fixed: Issue with multilesssons in the booking system
  • Added: Code to regenerate the banned ip cache object if it disappears for some reason on the logon page
  • Exchange: Add initial support for using an Exchange impersonation user.
  • Added: Encryption for the passwords of the SMTP
  • Added: Upgrade script for v9 release Set: Assembly Info to v9
  • Added: Setup page parameters for new exchange stuff
  • Fixed: Consecutive Error messages not disappearing
  • Added: Some features to allow limited use of HAP for internal users via kerberos authentication while keeping forms authentication for external users. Users can get the full features by logging in again using the forms system. Helps with using the HAP+ homepage as an intranet site.
  • Fixed: removed the wrong help load function
  • Feature: Add functionality to support customisable size tiles Note: followup work to remove 'large' as that is effectively 2x1
  • Fix: File upload to work with windows->kerberos auth as per previous commits in files api
  • Moved: Localization script to Web.Config and out of HAPPage
  • Added: Some more localized features to the help desk
  • Added: Ability to 'Assign' a ticket to someone, when you reply to a ticket as an admin you get the ticket assigned to you
  • Fixed: Issue with the Setup page and the drop down lists
  • Fixed: Issue on the Setup page with the lesson type (After School/Before School)

  • Added: a link to the masterpage, user drop down to bring up the auto logon message again if logged in via kerberos
  • Fixed: Made sure the impersonation ends on the exchange connect for Windows Authentication, regardless of impersonation
  • Fixed: Exchange Impersonation Password was a plain text box, now a password box
  • Fixed: Exchange Impersonation also works when using Kerberos Autologon
  • Updated: Inbuilt live tiles changed to the new width/height system
  • Fixed: Upgrade script to keep existing live tiles at the predefined widths
  • Fixed: IE Auto Logon Error Message/No Auto Logon Message
  • Fixed: IE's Annoying habit of scrolling the homepage instead of letting jQuery do it
  • Added: Code for the Loan type in the booking system

  • First Attempt at using NTFS permissions for read/write access

  • Fixed: The NTFS Permissions Lookup
  • Added: Switch to stop photo handler errors from being logged in the event viewer
  • Fixed: an error with the Photo handler and errors (needs to remove user impersonation)
  • Fixed: error with Me Handler and errors ( needs to remove user impersonation)
  • Fixed: Respect the value of the HidePhotoError config entry when handling errors within the Me tile

  • Added: Archive Ticket Functionality to the Help Desk
  • Fixed: New NTFS My Files bugs
  • Added: Support for multi-lesson spanned static bookings
  • Added: Redirects to the Booking System Admin page so it redirects users back to the tab they were last on

I can't take all of the credit, Paul helped too.

 

It should be quicker, and reduce LDAP calls, as it's doing a bit more caching now, but that means RAM is eaten.

Hey @nickbro

 

Thanks for the latest release, it's installed really quite smoothly.. however, i have walked myself into a wall regarding custom icons. How can i get them to regenerate if i've cleared the iconcache folder? (i decided to move my custom icons into the appdata folder to make future upgrades easier..)

 

At the moment, the website loads, but it doesn't load any icons for those pages - it does however load the expected background colour and there IS an entry in the recreated colors.xml file..

 

Tried restarting the app pool and the server :(

I think maybe i'm being a simpleton. Perhaps putting my custom icons inside "App_Data" isn't such a great idea. I don't seem to be able to view those images even with a direct URL (though i might be also having a kerberos/NTLM meltdown as Firefox and Chrome are now throwing up login prompts where IE drops me into the expected kerberos page).. I'm gonna move my images back and focus on the Kerberos stuff for now :)

The images need to be outside the App_Data folder, the system uses the App_Data folder to created the resized icons and dishes them out via the api calls. Check the Event Log to see why it isn't, if it isn't

Yep, moved them back and images are now working :)

 

I am however having mixed results with Kerberos. Whilst it seems to work well with IE, it pops up a login window on both Firefox and Chrome (not your nice forms login either). Whilst FF allows me to login using username\password, chrome does not. (and firefox then deposits me in the kerberos front end)

Chrome gives me an "401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials. You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied." error.

Is is possible to always direct chrome to the Forms login? (presuming we confirm that it's chrome, rather than me!)

 

The IE login appears to be seemless - works really well! :)

In FF and Chrome there's a setting in the browser to enable NTLM Auth on a certain domain, can't remember the specifics. You shouldn't need domain\username though, it should just be username
