I'd argument that LDAP is as standard as PAM. I don't understand why you
think that PAM is more "standard" than LDAP.
It is pretty common practice to re-enter the authentication settings on
each system you are integrating, just like it happens on Redmine,
ChiliProject and all other web systems I know about.
I don't consider this a duplication in the same sense when we talk about
programming.
You can consider writing a Chef recipe that will set up your server for
you. That way you would enter the credential settings in a single place
and your chef recipe would replicate them to each configured application.
But the most important thing is that this is no valid argument for not
using an application just because it doesn't integrate to PAM IMO.
That is why I'm wishing you good luck on trying to convince someone to
add support to PAM authentication for free just to make you happy.
You can also try hire the Gitorious company to integrate it to PAM:
http://gitorious.com/
That would be more likely to work if this is so important to you.
Kind regards,
Rodrigo.

All my software already integrate fine because I use PAM as my "auth
gateway".
What I'm trying to point out is that gitorious could have a more
"standard" authentication module, like PAM, out of the box (please
note it's not a demand, only an observation).

Can I use (import) my existing LDAP configuration into gitorious
automatically?
If not, it will be duplicated: one in /etc/ldap.conf and another
in authentication.yml
I mean, two files with same information is redundant information
(not good).

How is authenticating directly against ldap duplicated

I really want to use gitorious and become freed of manual
git management.
Last week I almost did a 'rm -r * module' (note an extra
space between '*' and 'module') on our entire repository.

Hello everybody.
Sorry for my just-joined-and-start-posting behavior,
but that was really necessary :(
Long story short: I need to authenticate my gitorious
web clients against local unix users (in fact, it
uses LDAP/PAM).
Is it possible? Where can I find help on this topic?
That LDAPAuthenticator is not enough. My IT
department is all about 'internal policies' and I
need to fit their requirements.
PS: I'm completely illiterate in ruby. Maybe it's
time to learn some .rb :P
Thanks for any help,
Mateus Caruccio
