#1093 | fixed | 500 errors on GET to api/rest/licenses | dread | dread |
Description |
CKAN gets its license list from a license service, which can be a local file, but is often the http://licenses.opendefinition.org/2.0/ckan_original server. This server is currently flakey, but I think we only request the list on start up. The problem is we query it much more often than required. It is queried for every request to api/rest/licenses, and we are returning lots of 500 errors when the license server is timing out. |

#1094 | duplicate | [super] Refactor the Auth System | thejimmyg | thejimmyg |
Description |
Here are some proposed changes related to CKAN's authorization system - they aren't very big, but should provide for some forthcoming use cases including #787. Two man reasons for the changes are:
The first two changes revolve around the is_authorized method, which is called by the logic layer to ask whether a particular user (e.g. Bob) is allowed to do a certain action (e.g. edit) on a certain object (e.g. Package).
which *overrides* the current call with its own implementation (note: in previous discussions we have considered allowing a chain of plugins, no longer!) Reason: authorization can be completely delegated to another system (or partially)
but for action=create_package, the object supplied is System, and for action=edit the object supplied is the package. Instead action should always be the string name of a function in the logic layer and object should always be the object passed to that function. This means our auth system is based around the actual actions we are performing (rather than a model them) and with the actual data that forms the action (rather than a related object). You never need a System object in this model.
Although this sounds a bit radical we already have auth extensions. Read-only CKAN Web UI(Additional requirement from #764) Whilse using CKAN web interface, you are not tempted to edit stuff:
