Mac OS X Identity Services authentication plugin

Added by Brian Wells about 15 years ago

About a year ago I mentioned a hack to provide support for authenticating users through Mac OS X Identity Services, which was added in Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard. Since then I was able to write a plugin for Redmine that adds this functionality.

As this is my first Redmine plugin, it may be lacking in some areas. In particular, I need to write some usable tests for the plugin.

Any suggestions are welcome.

RE: Mac OS X Identity Services authentication plugin - Added by Brian Wells about 15 years ago

Features of the plugin include:

  • User accounts can be local server accounts, network accounts, or both.
  • On-the-fly user creation with name and email address obtained from Identity Services.
  • Email addresses local to the server can be preferred over external email addresses.
  • User groups in Redmine can be linked to groups accessible through Identity Services.
  • User membership in groups is updated each time that user authenticates.
  • Access can be restricted to just users who belong to the specified groups.
  • Tested with both Mac OS X Server v10.5 Leopard and v10.6 Snow Leopard.

I have not spent much time testing the plugin against the 0.8-stable branch of Redmine since I have been following the trunk for development and eventual production use. At present the plugin is tested up to revision 3171.
