Note: the plugins are developed, tested and used with FreeIPA version 4.8 and 4.10.
On a FreeIPA directory, you can have some attributes to store images.
Typically the jpegphoto attribute can be used for the user avatars.
But the webUI doesn't have a widget designed for this type of binary element...
By default you can only use a textarea widget to edit the base64 encoded data.
The FreeIPA web interface is written with a Javascript framework that can be extended by plugins to provide some additional elements.
The file widget_picture.js define a new type of widget for the FreeIPA webUI.
It is designed to work with attributes containing binary data of a picture (Jpeg, PNG...).
If offers a suitable interface to edit image with:
- An image HTML tag to display the current data (read-only mode or preview for edit)
- An file input HTML tag to select a local image file to upload into the attribute
To install, clone this repository or download and extract an archive on the IPA server.
You can use the shell script ./ipa-plugins-installer.sh to install the plugins:
Usage: ./ipa-plugins-installer.sh <plugin...|--all> [--reload|--no-reload]
-a, --all : Install all available plugins
-r, --reload : Force the FreeIPA services reload
-R, --no-reload : Disable the FreeIPA services reload
-h, --help : Display this help message
Available plugins: user_jpegphoto widget_picture
So you can just run this command:
./ipa-plugins-installer.sh --all
If you only want to install the Javascript widget to manage picture fields in the UI,
without the extension to use the jpegphoto attribute (CLI & webUI) on users objects:
./ipa-plugins-installer.sh widget_picture --reload
Note: By default (without --reload|--no-reload) the "reload" actions are automatic:
running apachectl graceful if the Python script was installed/updated.
