Mantis Bug Tracker - Forums

Hello,

Could someone help about the meaning of uid?
My ldap administrator tell me that users should use their mail adresses (firstname.lastname@domain.com) but when i try to create new account, I can't write a full mail adress (too many characters) , or i can't write a name like firstname.lastname because Mantis don't trust the dot.
Thank you in advance for all your help.

Hi,

I'm not an LDAP guru, so I might be talking complete nonsense here. If so, please disregard this message :)

It looks like your LDAP admin uses e-mail addresses to identify users (is that Active Directory btw?) instead of a login. If his scheme doesn't have unique fields like "uid" or "cn" to identify users, I think you have a problem. If it does, I think you should try to use that.

Greetings,

Hans

Hello,

Thank you for your answer.
In fact, I 've seen an extraction of an ldif entry for the ldap server we use and it seems that uid is the mail adress. Maybe I can expect for a future version of mantis that allow email adress as a user login.

Hi cjk,

The allowable characters in a login name is set by a regular expression. Look for $g_user_login_valid_regex in your configuration and then you can change that to allow email addresses.

Hi Narcissus

Thanks for this answer, I'm going to try this on monday!
Just one thing, Do you know how can i bypass the limitation of 32 characters for the username (changing the size of the field in mysql?)
Thanks a lot!

Hi cjk,

Sorry mate... the only way I know of would be to directly change the database (through phpMyAdmin or however you do it). I don't know of anything this change would adversely affect, but I would be careful that future upgrades through the ADODB component don't undo your change.

Everything works with LDAP and the machine as far as authentication, but have been unable to get it to work with Mantis. POSIX, Samba, SSH, etc...

$g_ldap_server = 'ldap://ldap.machinename.com/';
$g_ldap_port = '389';
$g_ldap_root_dn = 'dc=machinename, dc=com';
$g_ldap_uid_field = 'uid'; # Use 'sAMAccountName' for Active Directory
$g_ldap_bind_dn = 'ou=People, dc=machinename, dc=com';
$g_ldap_bind_passwd = '*******';

ldapsearch returns
dn: uid=evanssh,ou=People,dc=machinename,dc=com
