Re: [Mantisbt-help] External authentication methods

[Roel V. <ro...@ri...>]

Not an answer to your question, but in case it's not possible already, 
maybe you could look into factoring the authentication into a plugin 
type of system - I'd love to have AD authentication that Just Works(tm) 
with Mantis. I've tried using LDAP but I couldn't get it to work; if it 
were possible to write a small authentication plugin I'd use 
http://adldap.sourceforge.net/ and be done with it. But last time I 
looked (which was admittedly quite a while ago), it was pretty hard 
(read: scattered across multiple places) to add another authentication 
system to Mantis.
Could you report back to this list when you have your solution working 
what you had to do to add your authentication system? Maybe I'll have 
another go at it.

cheers,

roel
