I haven't used the ldap/ssh/fuse setup myself. It's a pretty complicated approach. If all you need is users to match between Allura and repo access, that approach isn't needed. You can use the approach documented at https://forge-allura.apache.org/docs/getting_started/scm_host.html One downside I should point out is that if you want to use SVN repos, you'll need to patch/compile SVN. Or just have your config file list out all the repos that you use, and update it when you make a new project/repo. If you want LDAP for some other reason, you can still use the approach at https://forge-allura.apache.org/docs/getting_started/scm_host.html instead (avoid all the chroot/fuse complex stuff). It just integrates Allura with your repos, and backs with any auth.method choice. If you do want to use LDAP (which again, is not necessary if just want Allura & repo auth to be integrated) the instructions at https://forge-allura.apache.org/docs/getting_started/installation.html#using-ldap will be useful. Specifically check the auth.ldap.server setting. You might need ldap:// instead of ldaps:// Let us know how it goes! If you have further questions in getting it set up, please do reply.
