Description

it would've been nice to be able to get which auth_source_id a given user has through the REST API. A nice complement to when creating user where it is possible to set the auth_source_id.

I agree. This feature is also useful for admin scripts which needs to distinguish between "external" and LDAP users.

I attached a patch for this feature. auth_source_id only gets visible for admin users in it, as I do not see the need for standard users.

I think the response should include not only id but also name. Maybe the response does not include "auth_source" if the user uses internal authentication.

{
  "user": {
    "id": 1,
    "login": "admin",
    "firstname": "Redmine",
    "lastname": "Admin",
    "created_on": "2006-07-19T17:12:21Z",
    "last_login_on": "2019-09-06T06:37:53Z",
    "auth_source": {
      "id": 1,
      "name": "LDAP test server" 
    }
  }
}

Here is a patch to add auth_source to the response of GET /users/:id.(xml|json). auth_source is included only when the users auth_source is not nil and the current user is an administrator.

    "auth_source": {
      "id": 1,
      "name": "LDAP test server" 
    },

Feature added in r22636. You can now get auth_source if your request contains "include=auth_source".

Should we include the auth_source also in index.api response?

I've added the field also to /user list API.

Looking again on the implementation, I think we should return "internal" if user doesn't not have an auth_source because right now there is no difference between a request made without include=auth_source and a request with include=auth_source and user(s) with auth_source nil.

Go MAEDA, what do you think?

You are right, I think it is better to return some value to indicate the internal authentication.

We should track this change in another ticket because we should modify also the user listing to show "Internal".
