Redmine

Hi!

I'm using LemonLDAP::NG to authenticate my users in our applications.

LemonLDAP provides to applications some users attributes in HTTP headers.

I'm would like to write a module which can authenticate users with LemonLDAP.

I took a look on https://github.com/AdamLantos/redmine_http_auth but this plugins seems to not be compatible with redmine 2.x.

Below that i would like:

• The user comes for the first time on the application:

• At this moment, the module looks for a HTTP header (i.e. REMOTE_USER). If this header is defined
• The module creates the user (other HTTP headers will provide "first name", "last name", "mail" ...)

• Users can also login through core authentication systems (internal, LDAP, OpenID...)
• A existing user comes on the application:

• The module looks for the HTTP header containing the username
• If the user is found, the module log in the user

• If the user is logged in through LemonLDAP, user cannot change anything into its profile (all values in read-only)

My problem is to known what's the best way to do this with redmine. I'm not used to ruby, but i know read the manual. I look for plugin development docs, but a lot of those docs are about previous versions of redmine... :(

I expect from you the maximum of tips and tricks about this demand... :D

Thank you for your support,
