LDAP integration
LDAP integration+issue
I would like to authenticate users against LDAP. I'm happy to write code. Is there a correct way of going about this (ie. via plugin), or do I need to resort to hacking the source?
I plan to use Net::LDAP Gem.
Excellent inquiry!
The short answer is that there will be a correct way to do this and many other forms of custom authentication by Wagn 1.9, but the implementation is still in progress. To hack or not to hack may depend on how your timeline gels with ours.
We're currently working on Wagn 1.8, which will include support for Rails 3 and some relevant simplifications of user/role representations.
If you have some flexibility in your timeline, I can go further into what the solution looks like, and it would probably be worth having a call about the authentication roadmap if you're interested.
ps. Apologies for the slow reply. I've been away/offline since last Wednesday for family reasons.
