Can't access admin

[keomabrun]

Hi,

I use to access my mailman admin page using a link of the following form: https://mydomain/mailman/admindb/admins Since I updated mailman to v2.1.29 I get redirected to the Yunohost user page (the page with the colored tiles) everytime I try to access the mailman admin.

I can however still access the list configurations, such as https://mydomain/mailman/listinfo/admins

Let me know if I can collect more information for you !

Cheers

Could it be that the problem appeared after moving to Yunohost 4.1 maybe ?

[keomabrun]

indeed, I did both update the same day

Ah so I think it's also related to:

https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/mailman_ynh/blob/master/scripts/install#L128

• I'm not sure /admin does match domain.tld/mailman/admindb ... maybe it should be /admindb ? But I know from the initial packaging of this app that mailman is a mess, there's like a dozen different subpaths for the different pieces, some of which are admin features, some of which are not ...
• Since I know you're a technical user :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: I would have a look at /etc/ssowat/conf.json and conf.json.persistent to check who's allowed for the different mailman permissions .... Or you can do similar stuff with yunohost user permission list --full i think
• Maybe you need to add yourself to the legacy-protected-permission with yunohost user permission update or something similar i think
• Ultimately the real long-term fix is to adapt the app to the new permission system so that you could do this easily from the webadmin, but it looks like Eric G struggled with trying to do this during the last PR

I've been scratching my head about this too, after the same upgrade.

I confirm that commenting out the uris field within the mailman.legacy_protected_uris block in /etc/ssowat/conf.json fixed the problem for me:

"uris": [
    // "yourdomain.com/lists/admin"
    ],

Thanks for reporting this issue, as I would have given up on this otherwise!

De notre coté on a finalement ajouté les droits via la magnifique interface web de Yuno et ça fonctionne maintenant très bien.

Wonderful, thanks!
