Beginning with 2nd June, only the "Single Sign On" option for login to the GitLab web interface will be possible. If you don't have an MPCDF wide second factor so far, please get one at our SelfService (https://selfservice.mpcdf.mpg.de). The GitLab internal second factor will not work.
The tests showed that my initial idea to loop through the queryset and call clean() does not work. So I switched to the post_init signal, which will clean the data when it is instantiated (signal needs the package blinker, which was added as a dependency). This works so well that it's hard to check the true state in the database.
There seems to be a small, flaky delay between saving changes in the database and retrieving these changes. Added a retry helper function for positive checks, but we don't want to wait for a timeout for negative checks.
Closes #2235 (closed)
