LDAP password encryption

Added by Federico Bonelli almost 12 years ago

Hello,

I think I know the answer, but I couldn't find an explicit statement about this question on the forums:
can I use LDAP as authentication method in Redmine if my directory has encrypted passwords?

I have a pretty standard openLDAP directory that works well on my Debian machines with PAM, but I can't make it work with Redmine apparently.

Cheers,
Federico

I'll just answer myself for sake of usefulness.

Encryption on LDAP worked out of the box, what i couldn't figure out before is this:
having an LDAP directory linked to my Redmine doesn't mean that anyone in that directory can log in Redmine.

When I manually added in Redmine a new user which was already in the LDAP directory, just then Redmine allowed that user to log inside, using the password that was set in LDAP.

bye!
