Date Jiggery Pokery
I added several date and time fields to the application properties and wrote code to parse strings into dates. I use this info to finish up the ldap synch code.

SearchLDAP fixed
I fixed the problem with inserting a new user into the paruser table. The problem was in the new par generated for the user. I had to set both the parstatus and parstatuslookup fields. I added code to set the par period correctly and added a run method to run the updates periodically in a separate thread. I'll have to talk to Greg about where and how to start the thread.

Testing ldap code
I tested the code to update the par database from ldap. The code works, except that I can't insert a new user yet.

Java LDAP
I started work on the class that will read the user info from ldap. The was also a problem in displaying Hopkins phone numbers in the online phone search. I fixed the problem and submitted a move request.

Finished Authorization code
I finished work on the authorization code, although if Greg changes the database structure, there will probably be some rework. I started on the inverse problem: getting the list of people to be notifies when a par changes status.

More coding
I finished a version of the authorize code. This version retrieves roles from the initial page info and uses the role plus the workflow status to derive the page to redirect to. The code has been tested and works, except for the omissions in this first version. The omissions are there are no checks for supervisors up the line and the table of pages to redirect to has dummy values.

Authorize
I worked on the authorization code on the par form. It will call the initial page methods, loop over the results to see if the par is contained in them, and authorize you if it is.

PAR Project Rescheduled
I redid the PAR schedule, though I still have to update the MS Project version. I brought the project wiki page up to date. Then I looked at the problem with the searchterm script. It turns out that the Apache log files for the last month are empty.Posted on Thu, 12 Apr 2007 Tags: par searchterms
