Editing LDAP Settings

[forkitall]

Expected Behavior (or desired behavior if a feature request)

Admin > Settings > Edit Settings

I should be able to edit the settings from here

Actual Behavior

The settings are marked read only

---

• [x] I have enabled debug mode
• [x] I have read checked the Common Issues page

---

I would like to update the email field as I wasn't aware I could possibly change it. Snipe-it throws an error is something is checked in and a user does not have an email address. I would like to resync with the user's email addresses by getting that from an attribute like I did the user name.

[schannall]

hi, were you logged in with an LDAP User or was it a locally configured user?

v2 doens't sync LDAP users, it only imports them, so that won't work, I'm afraid. (Updating sync is in the upcoming v3.)

I tried both

I really like what you guys have here, but I'm glad really on user is going to be using this for the time being then. Could we get an update that dumps AD users and re-imports? It would be better than locking it out all together and preventing you from re-importing especially for companies that have a high turn over.

[snipe]

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by dumps and re-imports. v3 updates users if they already exist, adds them if they don't.

[forkitall]

Essentially a bulk delete of users flagged as Imported from LDAP and then re-import them. It'd be an easy way to get around this, it wasn't even allowing me to delete users.

The end result I'm looking for is to be able to import from LDAP with their email addresses filled in this time, but I cannot modify the LDAP settings.

On a side note, I noticed I can't edit the Site Name, Custom CSS, and Slack settings either.

[snipe]

Bulk deleting would destroy the history for all of those users, which sounds like a pretty bad idea.

You not being able to edit those settings is another problem altogether, and I'm not sure why you'd be seeing that. Can I see your app/config/app.php file?

Here it is

[snipe]

'lock_passwords' => true,

That's your problem. That setting does a lot more than that. We basically use it to lock down the demo so that spammers and jackholes cannot screw with the settings. (It was a problem for a while.) Set that back to false.

[forkitall]

haha really?

[snipe]

Yeah, it's why we don't document that anywhere. It's not really meant for "normal" people to use. It should really be called app_lockdown or something more intuitive, but you're literally the first person to ever set that to true other than us. It basically exists to limit features to prevent abuse from jerks on a public demo.

[snipe]

In fact, in the upcoming v3, we've renamed it to APP_LOCKED for that reason.

[forkitall]

Leave it to me. APP_LOCKED is a much better name for that setting. Lol. Any timeline on V3 btw? I'd really like to spread the word about this.

[snipe]

Hoping to have an RC out this week? It's already a few weeks late, but we're still working through a few things (and revamping ALL of the docs, etc).

[snipe]

(I feel like I say "hoping to have an RC out this week?" every week.)

[forkitall]

Literally LOL'd.

[snipe]

This is a really big update. Literally every file in Snipe-IT has been changed, so much so that Git can't even grok them as the same source. We upgraded to Laravel 5.2, which moves a huge amount of things around, and also flattened some of the other directory structures. We've had a few brave souls start testing out v3 using the beta upgrade guide in the new docs, (and so far, somehow that seems to be going well), but there are still a few more things I want to have handled before we push to RC. It's my own fault - I should have done what I originally intended which was just seek feature parity, but yak shaving and scope-creep are harsh mistresses.

[forkitall]

Oh yes. Thanks for your help.
