Redmine

also tried with :

• Create accounts on the fly => true
• Login => uid
• FirstName => cn
• LastName => sn
• Email => mail

with same result (can't login using ldap).

Ok problem (almost) solved :

The account (cf RedmineLDAP) was incorrect (I did not provide full information for this account, like uid=diradmin,cn=user,dc=site,dc=com).

Anyway, I leave the bug open, since the test method seems to be always happy, even with wrong LDAP params (port, etc.).

Hi Jean-Philippe,

maybe this could take place in the wiki also ? It's not so obvious to setup redmine against a Mac OS X opendirectory.

I can provide the pages if you want.

Hi,
I'm running Redmine 0.6.3 and still can't find a way how to allow users authenticate via LDAP hosted on OS X Server 10.4. I tried to enable debugging of DirectoryService on the server but get no details from Redmine. Do I understand correctly that Philippe got it to work?

hi Robert,

yes I got it to work. You have to be careful of the params you provide to connect to your Open Directory Server, since the connexion test will be (almost) OK.

Please find the parameters I've used :

NAME : whateveryouwant
Host : yourhost...
Port : 636 with SSL (if you have enabled SSL for LDAP - "Server Admin" tool is your friend here)
account : uid=diradmin,cn=users,dc=mysite,dc=com => be careful to provide a valid user here, and pay attention to base DN (dc=mysite,dc=com to be replaced by your base)
password : ...
cn=users,dc=mysite,dc=com

I've enabled on the fly user creation, and, as specified in the wiki, your users MUST have a valid LDAP account (=> with an email address !)
then :

Login => uid
FirstName => cn
LastName => sn
Email => mail

Let me know if it helps, I'll provide a wiki page when I return of my holidays.

Cheers,
Philippe

hi Robert,

I'm glad it's working now.
I'll update this ticket in ~2 weeks when the patch for the wiki page is ready.

Regards,
Philippe

Well, it seems that this Ticket could be closed too?

I registered here just to give a solution for this issue, as it still shows up in Google as top result (after all these years).
The above is almost right except for the Firstname Attribute, as this is a bit odd in the regular LDAP naming scheme:

Firstname attribute: givenName

My working setup, to get search results for up-to-date systems:

OS
Mac OS X 10.11.1 (El Capitan)
Bitnami Redmine Stack 3.1.2.
Mac OS X Server 5.0.15
Xcode Service for hosting repositories
Open Directory for LDAP
