Summary | 0007989: Multiple or Composite authentication mode for mantisbt | ||||
Description | The multiple authentication mode for mantisbt is on active discussion for some time. I have referred the forum and http://bugs.mantisbt.org and found the following links: The basic idea of multiple/composite authentication mode is to try different user database(LDAP, HTTP_AUTH, MySQL, ...) and if a match is found from any of the backend, then login is permitted. This can be implemented in the following way:
then there would be a function/method like auth_multi_auth() which will iterate over the g_multi_auth_pref array and then call the appropriate authentication function from core/api. In the above case the application will first try ldap, then md5 and then basic_auth. I hope that this method will keep the authenication modular and easy to configure. If this make sense, then I can contribute to this feature. If somebody is working on a similar feature please post it here. | ||||

Is this feature on 1.1.1 Mantis version? |
|
See bug 0004235. |
|
Can anybody tell me how this bug is fixed? I want to use the multi login method but I don't see how. Do I need the patch posted on 0004235? Which file do I need to patch? Which g_login_method should I set? |
|
It's not fixed, it's just a duplicate request. I/others are working on extending authentication to use the new plugin system in 1.2.x. There is no current ability for Mantis to use multiple authentication methods at once. |
