Hide the redmine's login form outside the company's network

Added by Philippe B. over 11 years ago

Hi,

At my company, we provide Redmine for registered users in the LDAP directory.
To facilitate the login, I wrote an automatic login module using the REMOTE_USER given by Apache+mod_krb in the headers.
I'm gonna push this module on github, so anyone can enjoy it :-)

External companies need an access to our Redmine. We firstly created a local user for each of them but they can't access to Redmine as Apache in front
handles the LDAP+Kerberos login. The quickest way we found to solve this issue was to duplicate the Redmine instance and run it in another VirtualHost
without mod_kerberos.

We would like to hide that we are using Redmine to the rest of the web based on the "Security by obscurity" concept. By hidding Redmine, I meant, the login form only.
I tried to use the login view hooks but it's to add content at the top or the bottom of the login box and it still displaying the name of the Redmine's instance, company logo and etc...

Does one of you have an idea to hide that's Redmine during the login process?

Thank you for your help

Philippe
