RE: [Mantisbt-dev] LDAP Patches

[Robert F. <rf...@mo...>]

Everything you've said below make sense to me so far.  If we are going =
to
create a MantisUser LDAP objectclass, then we would have to apply for an =
oid
first.  However, seeing as projects are (for now) defined and managed =
solely
in Mantis, it would be best to leave that part of the User management to
Mantis.  It would be difficult to maintain informational links between =
users
and projects if the user preferences etc. are maintained solely in LDAP, =
and
the project specifics are still only maintained in SQL.

We would probably be better off looking at a more wholistic approach if =
we
wanted to integrate fully with LDAP.  This would mean that project =
details
would also be stored in LDAP along with account details.  Of course, =
bugs
would be stored in SQL still, but by that stage, it's feasible to be =
able to
store bugs in any appropriate database repository.  A lot of work to do
before that could happen.  We'd need a proper data abstraction layer, =
for
one thing.

Just my late-Sunday-afternoon-after-a-big roast thoughts, so I may be
completely off about this stuff:)

What do you think the best way of doing integration with LDAP is?  To =
me, if
a place is using LDAP, then chances are they want as much as possible =
stored
in the LDAP directory.

Perhaps making a mantisUser.schema for the directory, then adding an
objectClass of 'mantisUser' that could contain Mantis-specific =
information
(which projects they're a part of, what their access is to each project, =
if
the account is enabled on Mantis).

Attributes in mantisUser would be modifable from within Mantis itself =
(just
as they are now).  Other attributes, if using LDAP (like password, =
email,
full name, etc) would not be changable.

I'm kind of new to using LDAP though, so I'm not sure if this is Right =
Way
to do things.
