Today I decided I should test cipux… (the background was another, but what I want to do was not possible since cipux doesn’t work properly, but read:

At first some notes about the general look&feel of cipux:

The first login went fine, I see the main menu… at the first look many nice and important features. We’ll have a closer look >at this later. Every time I want to change to another cgi-script I got “Session Expired“ Errors and I have to relogin every >time. I think something is heavily broken here with the handling of session cookies. (Doesn’t look further on it).

Now the singel modules:

useradmin:

As I wrote aboth I have to login again if I want to change the cgi-script: So i clicked on the useradmin button and I have to relogin. then I got an error: Something seems to be broken with the locale settings here I go back and try again.. now it works. Fine. Now I should be able to add users. Cipux told me that the user winnie was added: I choose this settings for him:

ID: winnie
firstname: Patrick
lastname: Winnertz
password: test
password(again): test
class: nogroup

and now… where is in this drop down menu the entry “student” ?? okay, doesn’t matter I choose teacher for testing purposes this is enough. I leave the last fields (email, …) empty.

Now I finally click on “Create” and the user seems to be there. (Above there is the user displayed). Now I try to login as the user winnie:

su winnie
Unknown ID: winnie

mhpf… lets have a look into the ldap…

ldapsearch -xZWD cn=admin,ou=People,dc=skole,dc=skolelinux,dc=no | less

there is only the group winnie, not the user… strange… I try it again with a user called katha, but it doesn’t work either. Okay let’s have a look on other modules…

userselfadmin:

Okay, nothing to tell here… this feature does not exist in the cipux package i installed. I got an 404 error.

internetadmin:

Okay… also nothing to tell here… not implemented yet.

roleadmin:

Fine. this module seems to exist. mh… can we test it… without users? Let’s see. Oh… roleadmin recognises that there is a user winnie ? Okay let’s try if I can make winne a assistant… ups… I clicked on “set” and I got: Session Expired… after maybe 10 seconds.:S …obviously it doesn’t work. Okay this was the point I think further testing is useless since the core feature, user adding, doesn’t work properly yet.
