[Rob Campbell [:rc] (:robcee)]

Hi.

We have a Summer of Code project starting up and we'd really like a separate project blog for it for posting status updates, bits of code and various bits of what-not.

I'm not sure if blogs.mozilla.com is a good place for this or not (does it require LDAP access?). A blogs.mozilla.org for community projects would seem like a good thing if that were available, but I'm not sure it exists.

Any suggestions?

With what little is given here I'd suggest that we just setup a blog on blog.mozilla.com/<projectname>

Yes, this would require LDAP access to post, but we don't setup individual wp instances outside of the blog.m.c space

Let me know what name you would like and who you want to grant author access.

It's a summer of code project. There isn't much to tell yet:

Can we give out LDAP auths to students/contractors? I'll need to request one of those as well, if so.

Project's called Tilt, so that'd be a good name for the blog. I'll take author access for now (rcampbell@moco) until we figure out what to do with the LDAP authorization piece.

For conractors we do.  This is an edge case though since there's no employment relationship.  

I suggest we create an LDAP account that has limited access (just to blog.mozilla.com).

That'd be perfect, Matt. I'll file a separate bug for that. Thanks!

Worked with Justin/Jabba to get this setup and everything is ready to go. Waiting on Victor to log in to his LDAP before we can officially add him to blogs (we can't add him yet because he's never logged in to his LDAP).

cc'ing him here.

"Logging into LDAP" in this case means using password reset, right?

Hey Rob,

Yes, you're correct. If he can successfully change his password, he has "logged into LDAP".

I don't believe there's a relationship to logging in and adding him to WP.  Infact, I'm sure there isn't.

However, his LDAP account isn't working.  I've reset his password twice and can't even login to https://ldap.mozilla.org/passwordreset/ .  Also, blog.mozilla.com/tilt/wp-admin/ fails auth (but I'm guessing there's no account setup there?).

Who can unravel this today?

Rob,

We're just going to get Victor an account on blog.mozilla.com, I'm working on that now.

This will not be linked to LDAP and is only on the blog.

Victor,

You should have an email with a username and password, please use that to access https://blog.mozilla.com/tilt/wp-admin/

If you have any issues with the same, please let me know by re-opening this bug.

Fixing title to reflect what was actually done, so it's easier to find in the future.

Yes, everything is working as it should now.

Victor,

Glad to here it's working as expected.

Rob, 

Please let us know when Victor is done with the project and we'll revoke his access to the blog. Thanks!

Sure thing, though I'm kinda hoping he just sticks around. ;)

Thanks Shyam!
