hmm - okay - I'm seeing a need for a link in the reporter between money.materialized_billable_xact_summary (Billable Transaction Summary) and action.circulation (Circulation) so that I can use things like last_billing_type and balance_owed when doing item list reports |
07:59 |
csharp |
the use case is a "lost and paid" report |
08:00 |
csharp |
anyhoo, just wondering if it makes more sense for the link to be on the action.circulation side or the mmbxs side (or both), and if it makes sense to add the same linkage to other reports sources |
08:00 |
* csharp |
is open to suggestions |
08:08 |

csharp: not sure how to make use of it in the reporter, but the link would be the id's? |

csharp: if you're starting with Item as your source, you may want to add something similar to the "rlc" class in fieldmapper that handles the Last Circulation Date link |
08:21 |
csharp |
phasefx: oh - yeah, I can see that now |
08:21 |
csharp |
that's probably a better approach |
08:30 |
csharp |
ah - Billable Transaction has a Circulation Billing link - that may do what I need without further head-scratching |

i'm doing a fresh install of eg and starting with installing opensrf. when i run autoreconf -i, i get a libtoolize message asking me to consider adding things to configure.ac and Makefile.am. i haven't seen this before. |

I've noticed an odd (to me) difference between xulrunner and webstaff, and I think it comes down to pcrud permissions vs open-ils.circ api permissions: |
10:47 |
jeff |
given a patron with open circulations at the CONS level (i can't recall offhand if those were generated by concerto or if that was me manually checking things out without having a workstation set), users without the EVERYTHING permission can't see the circs in the web client. |
10:47 |
jeff |
but they can in the xulrunner client. |
10:47 |
jeff |
I haven't yet given it a more realistic test (usually you wouldn't have circs at CONS, etc) |
10:48 |
berick |
jeff: does your login have global VIEW_CIRCULATIONS permissions? |
10:48 |
jeff |
And I'm going to take the opportunity to refresh/enhance my understanding of permissions in general, but I wasn't able to make the circs show in the web client even when making someone global admin and assigning them working locations across the org tree. |
10:49 |
jeff |
berick: i'll verify that specifically. one set. |
10:49 |
jeff |
er, "one sec" |

10:50 |
yboston |
kmlussier: got a minute to talk about authority related signoffs? |
10:50 |

so you'd need the necessary view perms on those. (but most of those are public, IIRC) |

jonadab: you are correct - passwords stored in the db are hashed but not salted |
13:55 |
Dyrcona |
Salt is applied when a user authenticates, but if someone grabs your database, you may have bigger problems than worrying about the user's password hashes. |
13:59 |

14:09 |
jeffdavis |
Dyrcona: I don't want to beat a dead horse, but "you have bigger problems" isn't really an argument in favor of storing pwds insecurely. |
14:12 |
rangi |
just my 2cents, instead of adding a salt, (salts stored in the db don't help much, they can still be brute forced in a feasible amount of time) probably better to switch to bcrypt |
14:12 |
jeff |
There are few arguments for storing passwords without salt. I think there is agreement that we'd like to improve this. |
14:13 |
rangi |
http://codahale.com/how-to-safely-store-a-password/ |
14:13 |
Dyrcona |
We have mitigations against remote brute force. |
14:13 |
bshum |
I vaguely recall talking about this at the first Evergreen Hack-a-way and reaching the agreement jeff refers to. |
14:13 |
rangi |
jeff: the point is, salts dont help you, if someone has your db |
14:13 |
Dyrcona |
I know how to store passwords, and I agree that they should be salted. |
14:13 |
rangi |
its better to not use old hashing techniques |
14:13 |
rangi |
with or without salts |
14:14 |
Dyrcona |
That's the trouble with grandfathered data and backward compatibility. |
14:14 |
jeff |
rangi: hashes with salt help more than unsalted hashes, but it doesn't raise the bar nearly as high as something like bcrypt does. I think we're in agreement here. |
14:15 |
rangi |
one thing we did, is whenever someone logs in, fix their password |
14:15 |
* jeff |
nods |
14:15 |
rangi |
to ease the transition |
14:15 |
jeff |
that's a standard method of migration. |
14:15 |
jeff |
though i've also seen the (somewhat less effective) method of upgrading the stored password only on change |
14:16 |
rangi |
*nod* |
14:16 |
rangi |
does evergreen allow/enforce (koha doesn't yet) a password expiry? |
14:17 |
jeff |
not yet. |
14:17 |
rangi |
forcing people to change is probably a goodish thing to do i would think |
14:17 |
jeff |
though i'd like to see that also, especially for staff reasons. |
14:17 |
rangi |
yeah |
14:17 |
jeff |
forcing people to change a password doesn't help you upgrade the hash from one version to another -- least, not that I can see. |
14:17 |
Dyrcona |
We're doing that on our email server. Staff just \love\ it. |
14:18 |
rangi |
jeff if you combine it with the changing the hash on changing password |
14:18 |
jeff |
I'm more a fan of strong requirements and two factor auth than I am of forced expiry. |
14:18 |
rangi |
was what i was thinking |
14:19 |
jeffdavis |
You could always use known techniques to crack your unsalted MD5-hashed pwds in order to re-save them in a more secure form (bcrypt or whatever). :P |
14:19 |
jeff |
rangi: where technically possible, i would advocate migrating the hash on login instead of migrating it only on password change -- no expiry requirement there. :-) |
14:19 |
rangi |
yep, thats what we do |
14:19 |
jeff |
jeffdavis: yes. i've actually used that approach in another context. |
14:22 |
jonadab |
jeffdavis, Dyrcona Ok, thanks for the info. |
14:22 |
jonadab |
At least they're hashed, that's an improvement over our current situation with our existing ILS. |
14:23 |
jeffdavis |
Yes, AFAICT EG is better than common industry practice in this regard. |
14:27 |
|
dbwells_ joined #evergreen |
14:27 |
goood |
jonadab: fwiw, the auth app itself actually uses (a variant of) CHAP, so the neither the hash nor the cleartext goes over the network between the immediate client and evergreen proper. That said, tpac move the immediate client from the browser into mod_perl on the server, depending on SSL/TLS to protect the channel between browser and apache |
14:28 |
goood |
so, you can rainbow table a dump of the passwords, but can't capture them without attacking the database itself ... or being a malicious staff member |
14:30 |
jonadab |
Right, just plain hashed is obviously much better than cleartext in the DB. And yes, I know if someone from outside the library captures the DB there are larger privacy issues. |
14:30 |
jonadab |
Also I have no argument against bcrypt. |
14:31 |
goood |
bcrypt++ # indeed |
14:31 |
jeff |
jeffdavis: the "brute force the weak existing keys" works well in the scenario where the new system can't support the older storage method. |
14:32 |
jeffdavis |
I feel obliged to mention that I am actually wearing a 2600 t-shirt right now. |
14:33 |
Dyrcona |
heh |
14:33 |
jeffdavis |
^ not cred, just amusing coincidence |
14:34 |
jonadab |
And yeah, upgrading the hashing/salting/whatever on login is standard practice. |
14:34 |
jonadab |
(If the passwords are not hashed at *all*, you can upgrade them en masse during an upgrade or migration, which we'll obviously do when we move to Evergreen.) |

that title shouldn't be showing for Putnam County Public Library since it's owned by a library in another system in the hierarchy |

yes. trancendant means "always show, always" |

they "transcend" location :) |

Launchpad bug 1422802 in Evergreen "Parts need to be more visible on the place holds screen" (affected: 1, heat: 6) [Wishlist,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1422802 - Assigned to Kathy Lussier (klussier) |
15:08 |
kmlussier |
Ideally, what our libraries want is to not have one of the parts pre-selected so that the user needs to make an explicit choice when selecting a part. |
15:08 |
kmlussier |
However, if we did so, we would need to make this a required a field, and I'm having trouble figuring out how to do so. I initially used the required attribute for the form input, but I've since discovered it's not supported in Safari. |
15:09 |
kmlussier |
The only other way I know of to make the field required is to use javascript, but I know we want to avoid using it in the catalog whenever possible. Are there other ways we might be able to tackle this issue? |

kmlussier: it's heavy, but you can make the page return itself with an informative error |
15:15 |

found a wish for this earlier when trying to use Consortium as a pickup lib.. wasn't obvious to me at first what was happening |
15:16 |
jonadab |
Having the page return a partly-filled form with an informative error about the missing required field(s) is what is what I would probably do, _possibly_ with optional Javascript designed to pre-empt the submit if Javascript is working ok, letting the server-side stuff catch it if not. |
15:18 |
kmlussier |
phasefx: You can select the consortium as a pickup library? |
15:19 |
phasefx |
kmlussier: I'm sure it was an admin user on a test system, maybe with the consortium as a the workstation lib. Once deselected, you can't reselect it |
15:19 |
kmlussier |
jonadab: The problem with the optional Javascript is that we've tried to keep it out of the catalog unless it's aboslutely necessary. |
15:19 |

but the user had no sane default for whatever reason |
15:19 |
kmlussier |
phasefx: Ah, ok. |
15:19 |

kmlussier: in that case, the page just returned itself with no obvious error |

kmlussier: Ah. |
15:20 |

So yeah, just make the server side handle it then. |

kmlussier: Oh, no! I forgot I had even submitted the code for lp1366026, nevermind that it was waiting for release notes. :( |
15:35 |
kmlussier |
jboyer-isl: I was actually going to write the release notes today if you didn't see it. |
15:36 |
jboyer-isl |
I'm not sure I'll have time before the cutoff, unfortunately. |
15:36 |
kmlussier |
jboyer-isl: OK, I can take care of it. I would hate to see a good feature not make it in due to release notes. :) |
15:38 |
jboyer-isl |
As far as release notes go though, I wasn't planning any for the lp1210541, because you can already delete copy locations; it just doesn't usually work. I was veiwing that as a bug fix. |
15:39 |
jboyer-isl |
Huh. pinesol doesn't appear to like my lp style. |

Drop the comma or add the space, who knows where things went off. |

berick: am I wrong, or did your authority overlay code get signed off and merged to master? Should I still test off of master or should I test from your rebased branch? |
15:48 |
kmlussier |
jboyer-isl: Hmmm...I was just discussing it with mmorgan. I think there's a fine line between bug fix and enhancement, but if it isn't mentioned in the release notes, then all the people who gave up on deleting copy locations won't know they can delete them now. |
15:49 |
dbs |
Bug fixes should have release notes entries too! |
15:49 |
goood |
yboston: it got pushed today, you are not wrong. testing on master is best now |
15:49 |

Sigh. I suppose that is true. (dbs's point includeD) |

I'm going to try to make a habit of just writing something up the next time I get a patch put together, I am apparently terrible about fixing it after the fact. |

yboston: Any reason we use .txt rather than .asciidoc for our documentation? It never occurred to me until I saw Benjamin's post to the General list, but using .asciidoc would allow for automatic rendering in some cases (e.g. Github) |

Right on. Thanks kmlussier! |

16:40 |
yboston |
goood: thanks |
16:40 |
hopkinsju |
By telling me to ask someone else? :) |
16:41 |
yboston |
hopkinsju: I can't belive it never crossed my mind before, because I end up having to explain to vounteers to use .asciidoc as a file suffix for github gist to render properly |
16:42 |
yboston |
hopkinsju: then again I can see some complaining that they don't have an app to open .asciidoc files on their computers; no good deed goes unpunished |
16:42 |
hopkinsju |
yboston: I was also thinking how unfortunate it is (for the maintainers) that we use the fist style of headers (where h1's are the same number of ~'s as letters in the heading) |
16:43 |
hopkinsju |
When a double = (==) would have done the same thing. Sounds like a real headache. |
16:44 |
yboston |
hopkinsju: when preparing training materials I discoverd that other approach, I would hope that the other style worlks. I would consider teaching the other way too |
16:44 |
yboston |
hopkinsju: I mean works on our rendering set up |
16:45 |
hopkinsju |
Right. One favors readability, the other writeablilty I suppose |

Good afternoon evergreen |
17:31 |
MrBaggins |
I hope someone can help a poor creature of the shire |
17:31 |
MrBaggins |
I'm trying to access the pdf's listed on http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=existing-docs:existing-docs |
17:31 |
MrBaggins |
more specifically the 4 on reports |
17:32 |
MrBaggins |
but the sitka.bclibraries.ca domain links just loop to bc.libraries.coop/wp-login.php |
17:36 |
MrBaggins |
http://sitka.bclibraries.ca/documentation/sitka-evergreen-user-documentation/Reports%20Training.pdf for example |
17:38 |
jeffdavis |
MrBaggins: I work for Sitka. Give me a minute and I'll see what I can do for you. |
17:38 |
jeff |
MrBaggins: i'd start here: https://bc.libraries.coop/support/sitka-support/ |
17:38 |
jeff |
ah, but listen to jeffdavis -- he'll likely be of more help! |
17:39 |
ldw |
MrBaggins: here is the HTML version: http://docs.sitka.bclibraries.ca/Sitka/current/html/report.html |
17:40 |
MrBaggins |
does that contain all the information available on reports? |
17:40 |
ldw |
That is Sitka's report documentation. What are you looking for in particular? |
17:41 |
MrBaggins |
any and all manuals/guides relating to reports. If that's the only thing thats ok I was just curious |
17:42 |
jeffdavis |
Note that the Sitka docs discuss some stuff that is specific to Sitka, like report templates that exist on our system but aren't in a regular Evergreen system. |
17:42 |
MrBaggins |
ok that's good to know, thanks |
17:43 |
jeffdavis |
http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.7/_reports.html is the documentation for version 2.7 of Evergreen |
17:44 |
jeffdavis |
That's more general. Not sure how much it differs from the Sitka docs. |
17:44 |
MrBaggins |
Might help, thanks for your time Jeff |
17:45 |
jeffdavis |
Always happy to help Bagginses. |
17:46 |
berick |
huh, looks like chrome beat FF to disallowing synchronous xmlhttprequest's. just like that, vandelay no longer works in chrome. |
17:46 |
jeffdavis |
That "existing-docs" wiki page looks like it's a list of what documentation existed 5 years ago, so should probably not be relied on as the most current source of info for anything. |
18:00 |
dbs |
berick: fantastic! |
18:03 |
berick |
certainly adds pressure to angular-ize (i.e. websocket-ize) legacy UI's |
18:03 |
ldw |
MrBaggins: I sent a reports howto to the mailing list in 2011, so some of it may not be applicable now, you can find it here: http://georgialibraries.markmail.org/message/ptlz36kle63spqqb?q=Liam+report+date:201109+ |
18:04 |
berick |
hm, patron reg throws the same warning, but still renders OK |
18:04 |
berick |
perhaps it's only deprecated, but not yet prevented, and vandelay is just broken for some other reason |
18:05 |
berick |
oh well, more testing later |
18:06 |
dbs |
all I've been seeing is deprecation notices, but I thought maybe you were on canary or some such advance build |
18:12 |
MrBaggins |
Thanks for that ldw, every bit helps |
18:23 |
jonadab |
As far as asciidoc and people wanting .txt files so they can double click, it should be straightforward to make the build process turn the former into the latter. |
18:24 |
jonadab |
I believe for example that esr set up the NetHack 4 Guidebook that way. |
18:25 |
jonadab |
(And then other formats can be generated as well.) |

jonadab: Currently, our build process turns the .txt files into html/pdf/epub. I think the question came up because somebody was looking asciidoc files in a github branch that hadn't been merged into master yet, and therefore is not part of the build process. |
19:48 |

Ah, I see. |
