[PloneDavis-Discuss] CAS Question

So when one has CAS setup and you need to match the logins to local
accounts for permissions reasons, either 1 you wait for people to login
once and then assign them permissions or 2 prepopulate matches?

I'm wondering how to prepopulate or verify user loginids from CAS with
real people without having to look them up 1 by 1 on the IET site.
(I have about 200 people to go through and will have 20 new per year,
every  year)

Anyone have insite, if I know all their email addresses is their an api
or a person I can ask to run a query through to get back the userIDs of
those people for populating the security of my site?

Thanks,
Alex

Here is the question, how did you get the matching username into your AD
 to begin with. That's the part I need to solve.

[PloneDavis-Discuss] Email Notification on transisiton

Hello all,

I'm trying to get email notifications when someone submits a page for 
review.  I'm currently using Plone 2.5 with UCDPloneSkin and CAS for 
authentication.  I've been following this how-to paying particular 
attention to the External Method reply: 
http://plone.org/documentation/how-to/send-mail-on-workflow-transition/

My scripts are pretty much identical to the one posted in the "Getting 
around permissions problems with an external method" submission on that 
page.  I'm not real familiar with python and scripting for plone so it's 
just copy and try to comprehend for me.  I've gotten to the point where 
on submission, the error I get is "Error Type: MailHostError; Error 
Value: No message recipient designated."  I'm guessing that the script 
is not finding appropriate recipients for the message.  I want this 
message sent to anyone that has the "reviewer" role.

I've attached the external method script.  The redirect script is pretty 
much just one line:

context.submitNotification(state_change,context)

with state_change in the Parameter List.

Thanks for any help.  This should be an easy one for you Plone/Zope gurus.

Re: [PloneDavis-Discuss] Email Notification on transisiton

I used this same script. But it did not directly work with my plone 
2.5.5., so i hacked (copied below) on the script so that it just sent me 
and email informing me when a telling me the state has changed. i 
basically removed everything except the email to me and a message that i 
typed in.

one of the problem i had was with the proxy roles. under the proxy tab 
after you have clicked on your script you need to set the role of the 
type of user who will be using the script to have proxy permissions 
(i.e. send the mail) or you will run in to permissions problems, and it 
won't give you an error, it just won't work...

make sense?

el

here is my script:

obj=sti.object

mMsg = """
The Profile has been changed.
The url was %s.
"""

mTo = 'eapollard@...'
mFrom = 'auto-email@...'
mSubj = 'someone has updated their Bio.'

obj_url = obj.absolute_url() #use portal_url + relative_url

message = mMsg  % obj_url
context.MailHost.send(message, mTo, mFrom, mSubj)
