Redmine LDAP & Zimbra

Added by D K over 14 years ago

Hello,

I'm trying to authenticate Redmine users trough a zimbra server.
I've found multiple articles about it on the internet describing only Redmine or only zimbra.
Combining both pieces of information failed as for now i've got this:

* name: ZIMBRA
* host: office.example.com
* port: 389
* account:
* password:
* base DN: cn=users,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com
* on-the-fly user creation: [unchecked]
* 
* login: (uid=%n)
* firstname:
* lastname:
* email:

(All domain values are made up.)

I can't get this to working...
Maybe someone can help me?
Thanks!

Hi,

It's been a while. So I will try again.
Tried it multiple times, nothing works, all test say "LdapError: no connection to server"?
I'm sure server is running.

Somebody got this kind of setup working.
Some help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

I am having the same problem. A solution would be fantastic. Please help.

Here's some information about my system:

Running ruby -v gives me.
ruby 1.8.7 (2009-06-12 patchlevel 174) [x86_64-linux], MBARI 0x6770, Ruby Enterprise Edition 2009.10

Redmine is running on Rails 2.1.2

Not sure if it matters but Passenger is 2.2.9

One thing that is similar is that there is no authentication required to connect to the LDAP server. Has this been tested to work in that case?

I make it work! First you have to look on Zimbra forums to enabled LDAP external Lookup:

Then, you need to set the settings like attatched screenshot:

Hey William,

Thanks for sharing your solution!
It works perfectly.

The preferable thing in many cases may be to create a user in Zimbra that has privileges to browse the directory, such as "redmine" and then enter that Zimbra user's account details in the redmine LDAP config.

This means anonymous lookup is not required!

The trick is to put the full dn in the Account field and not just the uid:

uid=redmine,ou=people,dc=yourdomain,dc=com,dc=au (we are in Australia ;-))
