Hi Florian, We are very interested by this plugin. We had a couple of questions which I hope you or someone on this mailing list can answer. 1-Does the plugin allow mix mode, meaning some users are authenticated through AD while others are "local users"? 2-We current have a devpi installation with a fair number of users registered. How does the migration take place? Does authentication first goes to AD and then if it fails, it default to local? I guess if the answer to this is yes, the answer to 1 is also yes :). Basically with many pre-existing indices, we don't want to have to build them (if this makes any sense at all to you). Thanks in advance. /Laurent On 9/2/14, 5:57 AM, Florian Schulze wrote:
Hi!
There is now a devpi branch which contains the plugin hook which allows authentication via plugins. Get it at https://bitbucket.org/fschulze/devpi/branch/external-auth
The devpi-ldap code now implements those new hooks. Get it at https://github.com/devpi/devpi-ldap
During development I noticed that the LDAP setup with Active Directory on Windows Server 2008 which I created allows login without a password, even if the user has a password set. It only fails if you supply a wrong password. I would be very interested if this happens for any of you! Maybe someone has a pointer on that issue?
The devpi-ldap configuration test script has better output now to let you see whether authentication worked or not.
