+1 ... this is exactly the idea and Trac admins should not be responsible for managing users in LDAP (e.g. MSAD ...) dirs ... if there is a central LDAP server, then there should be an admin. If you still need to do something like this you (or someone else ... ;) may write your own registration module to either: - Modify data in the LDAP dir directly ... (not recommended IMO ... but anyway, it's up to you ;) - Notify the MSAD admin (or another external tool ...) of the fact that a new user should be added ... and delegate this task to this «external actor» ... You can also consider the use of specific LDAP admin tools ... or any other third party tool ... outside the Trac site ... ;) -- Regards, Olemis.
