Binary Schema UI enhancements
Hi all,
I've had a change to look at the changes made as part of SYNCOPE-123, to
support binary attributes. I can now load a X509 Certificate + associate it
with a user, and propagate (+ sync) it to LDAP via the userCertificate
attribute. Nice work Francesco!
I just have some minor UI enhancement ideas:
a) Instead of making the user input a MIME Type, why not just have a
dropdown list with (e.g.) the following?
http://www.sitepoint.com/web-foundations/mime-types-complete-list/
b) I think the "User" UI needs some work. Right now, there is no way of
telling whether a user has an associated binary attribute by looking at the
screen, you need to download the attribute and see if it has content or
not. Maybe we could have a checkbox that shows whether the attribute has
content or not? Or we could display the total byte count of the attribute
or something?
Colm.

Yes, I just opened [1].

+1 sounds good.

Why don't we put instead an auto-complete field featuring this list -
can't believe CXF hasn't turned it yet into a handful constant class ;-)
- instead?
Being the list very long, a plain dropdown would be less handy, IMO, and
would also prohibit any non-standard input (say a mimeType only valid
within a company or so).

You are right.
Since AFAIK Andrea is currently thinking about how to provide a
pluggable binary viewer mechanism (as we discussed in [1]), we could
open an issue for "Binary Schema UI enhancements" and include the notes
above + [1].
WDYT?
