Setting the default login realm

[jmmcg]

I recently updated cacti to version 1.2.9, latest available from EPEL on CentOS 7. Normally after updating Cacti I make a modification to auth_login.php so that the realm defaults to Local. This is to simplify the login process for our external users who would not use LDAP.

Today when I made the usual change it did not seem to have any effect.

The change. This at line 732:

Code: Select all

array(
		'1' => array(
				'name' => __('Local'),
				'selected' => false
		),
		'2' => array(
				'name' => __('LDAP'),
				'selected' => true
		)
)

becomes this:

Code: Select all

array(
		'1' => array(
				'name' => __('Local'),
				'selected' => true
		),
		'2' => array(
				'name' => __('LDAP'),
				'selected' => false
		)
)

How would I make this change stick in 1.2.9? Is there a different approach that I should be using?

I am going to partially answer my own question. It looks as if javascript was added to save the preferred realm of the user. To disable that behavior, I made the following changes starting at line 807 noted below.

This, however, is kind of an ugly hack. Is there a better way to do this?

The below:

Code: Select all

$(function() {
 preferredRealm = storage.get('user_realm');

 // Restore the preferred realm
 if ($('#realm').length) {
		 if (preferredRealm !== undefined) {
				 $('#realm').val(preferredRealm);
				 if ($('#realm').selectmenu('instance') !== undefined) {
						 $('#realm').selectmenu('refresh');
				 }
		 }
 }

Became this:

Code: Select all

$(function() {
 preferredRealm = 1;

 // Restore the preferred realm
 if ($('#realm').length) {
		 if (preferredRealm !== undefined) {
				 $('#realm').val(preferredRealm);
				 if ($('#realm').selectmenu('instance') !== undefined) {
						 $('#realm').selectmenu('refresh');
				 }
		 }
 }

Good point. I think it's broken still in GitHub.

There is a feature enhancement on GitHub. Can you append this change there?

This will be in 1.2.11.

Thanks for looking at this!
