Re: [jtrac-users] enhance form and active directory

[Peter T. <ptr...@gm...>]

Hi Jay,

JTrac currently only supports authentication with LDAP / AD, you can refer
the online install guide for the details:
http://jtrac.info/doc/html/features.html#features-ldap

Much of the functionality of JTrac depends on the mapping of users to spaces
(projects).  So I don't think it is feasible that we can make an LDAP query
at the time of creating an item, i.e. ItemFormPage.  But what should be
possible is

   - enhancing the existing user admin UI to pick users from LDAP
   - allowing users to plug in a piece of authorization code that
   automatically uses LDAP info to map a user to a space
   - although the mapping of users to spaces has to exist within the local
   database of JTrac, we can add a check at the time of login if there is any
   update to the users LDAP profile and do the necessary changes to the local
   database

Patches welcome :)  You will find a developer guide on the website.  I can
help wherever I can.

Thanks,

Peter.
