Active directory integration

Modified By rd007 on 2/5/2008 4:42:46 PM)

Hi - I was able to successfully install bugnet but I am unable to get it to configure right for AD integration. I followed all the steps mentioned in the readme.html document. This is what is happening:

* I have configured in the application setting to use AD for user lookup and have configured the application for windows authentication.

* The authentication is working fine but the users are not getting created even though I followed the steps mentioned in the "enable seamless creation of users" section of "Windows Authentication". Looking at the error log, this is the error message: Logger: BugNET.HttpModules.AuthenticationModule and the message: Unable to add new user domain\user to BugNET application.

* Also when the users login they are unable to see the "add new issue" link.

Can you please help? This is urgent that I get this working since I really want to use Bugnet for our organization.

Thanks!

Re: Active directory integration

I figured out what was the problem. I downloaded the source and figured out that for "Path" for AD I was using was the full path of LDAP://servername/dc=... instead of just using "dc=bugnetproject,dc=com" because bugnet is prefixing the global catalog look up anyways.

Is there any exception with the error message?

Ok glad to hear you got it working. This should go in the help.

Re: Active directory integration

Also I found out that if you are using Kerberos to authenticate, the code is not checking for authentication type == "negotiate"...here is the fix for the function:

void

context_AuthenticateRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)HttpRequest request = HttpContext.Current.Request;HttpResponse response = HttpContext.Current.Response;//get host settings

bool enabled = HostSettings.GetHostSetting("UserAccountSource") == "ActiveDirectory" || HostSettings.GetHostSetting("UserAccountSource") == "WindowsSAM";//check if windows authentication is enabled in the host settings

{

request.LogonUserIdentity.AuthenticationType ==

{

if (enabled)if (request.IsAuthenticated && (request.LogonUserIdentity.AuthenticationType == "NTLM" ||"Negotiate"))//check if the user exists in the database

{

MembershipUser user = UserIT.GetUser(HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name);if (user == null)try

{

UserProperties userprop = GetUserProperties(HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name);//create a new user with the current identity and a random password.

}

{

Log.Error(

}

UserIT.CreateUser(HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name, Membership.GeneratePassword(7, 2), userprop.Email);catch (Exception ex)String.Format("Unable to add new user {0} to BugNET application.",HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name),ex);
