- delay construction of the Page (widget) until it's needed
- hand the Config object to the Page on construction
This is prep-work for putting the configuration information into the
Config object, rather than in the UI elements.
On the "Users" tab, the user can choose a username. It was possible to
use 'root' as username, which led to an installation error, because
'root' exists already.
Added a new check to the username validation.
Fixes#1462.
- Having the widget do creation ties the step heavily to that UI;
start moving towards a state where we have a Config object (not
here yet; it still queries the UI part) that moves data around
between UI and ViewStep.
- move the explicit checking for non-empty into a specific
(normal) password check
- leave only the-two-fields-are-equal outside of the password-
requirements framework
- having non-empty is the same as minLength 1, but gives a different
error message
- the two explicit checks are the ones that handle *two*
strings as special cases; all the other checks from
the password-requirements system only handle the one string.
- the explanations under and around the boxes is noisy,
hard to size correctly (viz. issue #1202)
- use tooltips in almost-all fields instead
- add placeholder text to be more suggestive
- The only remaining functions in the file are string-related, so
rename to match their purpose.
- Drop this include file from most places, since they don't actually
use the string functionality at all.
- Make the explanations about 3 times as wide as the text-boxes
that they are explaining. This is partly moot because the
text-boxes have fixed pixel sizes in the designer file, but keep
it flexible for now.
These additional pointers were introduced for translations,
and needed their own tricks to get lupdate to recognize the
strings. Using QCoreApplication::translate() removes the
need to a QObject to provide context. Drop the now-unneeded
parameters.
- Introduce a map 'passwordRequirements' in users.conf,
which is a list of named requirements. There are only
two settings right now, min and max length, but
additional checks can easily be added in UsersPage.cpp
by defining additional lambda's to check the given
password string.
- Add PasswordCheck instances as needed, with functions
to check acceptability and to produce messages on rejection.
- Documentation in the users.conf file itself.
- In passing, refactor setting of pixmaps on labels.
FIXES#790
Fixes CAL-345.
Changing group of home dir to the default "users" group might be a security risk
because every user which belongs to the default "users" group
might be able to access private data on home dirs of other users.
