Hi,

I was playing around with ldap/AD integration and got this errorreport mailed to our NOC-Group (see below)

- this mail leaks my username/password in cleartext. I think this should really be avoided for any case happening! I don't have a clue about django but a quick search showed me this:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/error-reporting/

Especially interesting might be this part:

... Filtering sensitive information https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/error-reporting/#filtering-sens itive-information Error reports are really helpful for debugging errors, so it is generally useful to record as much relevant information about those errors as possible. For example, by default Django records the full traceback http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_trace for the exception raised, each traceback frame http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_frame ¹s local variables, and the HttpRequest https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/request-response/#django.http.Htt pRequest ¹s attributes https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/request-response/#httprequest-att ributes .

However, sometimes certain types of information may be too sensitive and thus may not be appropriate to be kept track of, for example a user¹s password or credit card number. So Django offers a set of function decorators to help you control which information should be filtered out of error reports in a production environment (that is, where DEBUG https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#std:setting-DEBUG is set to False): sensitive_variables() https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/error-reporting/#django.views.d ecorators.debug.sensitive_variables and sensitive_post_parameters() https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/error-reporting/#django.views.d ecorators.debug.sensitive_post_parameters .

...

I wonder if than can be integrated for NAV or if there is another way to get around exposure like that?

Mischa
