LDAP Authentication #1

Open ghost opened 12 years ago

ghost commented 12 years ago

We try to modify your greeter for LDAP Authentication, in our University.

We removed the Dock's part, and Insert a field "userid", but we are not so good in javascript.

We understood that lightdm.start_authentication start displaying with user var.

Could you help up please ?

Hi,

lightdm-webkit-pretty-greeter is not the right place to do it.

If you choose to connect unix users though a LDAP, you will have to change your system authentication behavior.

You would probably take a look at some page like this one : http://naidutrk.blogspot.fr/2012/03/setting-up-ldap-client-authentication.html

Once your system is configured to use a LDAP during authentication, any greeter is supposed to work well without any modification.

Regards,

Jean-François Brazeau

Yes, the LDAP authentication works perfectly with GTK greeter. But we have tools in html, that we want to include on the login page, so, that's why we want to use webkit.

OK, I understand. Did you try it with the default lightdm-webkit-greeter theme ? (retore the theme property of /etc/lightdm/lightdm-webkit-greeter.conf) Maybe could it be a limitation of lightdm-webkit-greeter itself ?

By default, these two greeters works only with local account, because we need to select a user, BEFORE, start authentication...
