feature was confusing and offered little utility that I could see. If we
really need to provide serialized access to sections of the webui, IMO it
should be a global lock option and enabled or disabled manually and not a
privilege that is on all the time.
and pam backing functions have been removed. The basic auth method was
legacy code and the backing functions were redundant with no added value
that I could see. A simplified replacement backing function named
local_backed has been added that authenticates to the local configuration
info which should be identical to system pwdb credentials. Since the
htpassword file is no longer required, sync_webgui_passwords and its
wrapper function system_password_configure have been removed.
The local account management functions were renamed for consistency. A few
minor bugs related to setting local passwords have also been corrected.
1) Redefine page privileges to not use static urls
2) Accurate generation of privilege definitions from source
3) Merging the user and group privileges into a single set
4) Allow any privilege to be added to users or groups w/ inheritance
5) Cleaning up the related WebUI pages
the system password and group databases. This is to provide better support
for centralized user management when local account administration is
preferred.
I also took this opportunity to do some housekeeping. A lot of funtions
that were only being used in one place or not at all were removed. The
user page privelege checks were also simplified in preperation for future
work in this area.
