Hi all, > Stuart, any chance could you get these patches commited into the > 1.5.x branch so that were not maintaining such fixes in the patch > queue into perpetuity? Nows the time to get in your fixes.
All done :) A quick list of the changes: - Addition of a new pluggable authentication class which supports hierarchical LDAP server. - Support for a special group populated by all LDAP users. If everyone is happy with this, we can add it to the normal LDAP authN class too. - Support for LDAP servers which do not hold an email attribute for users. Again if this is good, we can add it to the normal LDAP authN class. Hopefully the comments in dpsace.cfg are good enough to help you use this. I've done some preliminary testing of this patch, but it needs a lot more. If anyone wants access to a test LDAP server, read this blog post for details of one: http://blog.stuartlewis.com/tag/ldap/ There are several LDAP patches on the patch queue, and I have tried to take the particular things each one is addressing and roll it into one patch. So huge thanks to the following for their work on this: Chris Yates Flavio Botelho Alex Barbieri Reuben Pasquini (apologies if I have missed anyone out - please correct me if I have). If everyone is happy with this as a solution, I'll close all the other LDAP-related patches on the patch queue. Please do test this, and get back to me with any issues. The only thing I haven't tackled is the removal of ldap.enable and the LDAPServlet, but that's a discussion for another day!
