LDAP authentication: creating LDAP accounts & CAS

Added by Elroy Jetson about 13 years ago

Hi there,

Two questions:

1. We were trying to configure an instance of Redmine with LDAP authentication and hit a roadblock: Redmine appears not to support creating accounts in LDAP when the user registers in Redmine.

'On the fly user creation' does the opposite - creating Redmine accounts for existing LDAP users. We need to support adding authentication information for new Redmine users in the LDAP automatically.

I was wondering if there's any way to enable something like this?

2. I was also wondering if anyone has a 'how to' guide or similar for enabling CAS authentication using the plugin.

I'm using the latest version of Redmine (1.1.0) on Debian Lenny x86 with OpenLDAP slapd.

Thanks in advance for any help.

The default LDAP authentication ever only reads from LDAP, i.e. it will create a new redmine user if the user exists in LDAP and "on the fly" is active, and for existing users LDAP is only ever used to verify the password.

You might want to ask the author of the plugin.
