Include an authentication method name in LDAP connection error messages
Added by Yuichi HARADA over 4 years ago.
Updated over 2 years ago.
Category:
Accounts / authentication
Description
When LDAP cannot be connected for some reason, the following message is displayed.

The error message is displayed as it is, but I don't know if it is a message from LDAP. You can understand that it is an LDAP message by adding a fixed message to the beginning as shown below.

I think that just simply adding the prefix "LDAP" to an error message is better.
LDAP: Connection refused - connect(2) for 192.0.2.1:389
The reasons are as follows:
- Adding the prefix "LDAP" is enough to understand that there is a problem with communication with the LDAP server
- We don't have to add a new string to the locales
- Redmine may support new auth sources other than LDAP in the future. The following way of using auth_method_name method can be applied for new auth sources
