LDAP authentication #425

Open avdv opened 10 years ago

avdv commented 10 years ago

I've implemented an LDAP authentication backend in gitit.

Here's the code: https://github.com/avdv/gitit/commit/075892367608ea609506463d2a5ceebbf3330c2f

It is not ready yet ready for inclusion into gitit proper, but I think it proves that it would be a nice architectural enhancement to split the authentication into a frontend and a backend.

The backend would talk to whatever system it has to in order to authenticate a user.

The auth frontend / transport would be the module which asks the user about her credentials.

(I haven't looked into gitit2 yet, but that might be something to consider for the future.)

Just my 0.02$.

Additionally, having support for any alternative authentication system, like facebook/g+/persona would be excellent.

This is exiting! I am looking forward to trying this out once it is merged.

What is the status of this? Looks like a very old issue.

Any update on this?

I'd also be interested in any update on LDAP in gitit.
