Description

This is a guide on how to setup LDAP authentication for users on Redmine. The LDAP server is OpenLDAP on FreeBSD 9, but should work on any LDAP server.

Populate the LDAP Server

  • Create the People Organizational Unit ldif file:
    vi ~/people-ou.ldif
    
    • And add the following:
      dn: ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
      objectclass: organizationalUnit
      ou: People
      
  • Import the People OU file into the server:
    ldapadd -D "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" -W -f ~/people-ou.ldif
    
  • Create the bob user ldif file:
    vi ~/bob.ldif
    
    • And add the following:
      dn: cn=Bob Guy,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
      cn: Bob Guy
      givenname: Bob
      initials: BG
      mail: bob@example.com
      objectclass: inetOrgPerson
      objectclass: organizationalPerson
      objectclass: person
      sn: Guy
      uid: bob
      userpassword: {MD5}X03MO1qnZdYdgyfeuILPmQ==
      
    • NOTE: The password for bob is password.

Setup LDAP Authentication

  • Click on New authentication mode and enter the LDAP server details:
    1. Name: LDAP Auth
    2. Host: ldap.example.com
    3. Port: 389
    4. Account: cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com
    5. Password: SuperSecretPassword
    6. Base DN: ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
    7. On-the-fly user creation: [X]
    8. Login attribute: uid
    9. Firstname attribute: givenName
    10. Lastname attribute: sn
    11. Email attribute: mail
  • Click Save
  • Next go to Administration -> Users and click New user.
    1. Login: bob
    2. First name: Bob
    3. Last name: Guy
    4. Email:
    5. Authentication mode: LDAP Auth
  • Click Save

Now bob can log in using the the password stored in the LDAP server, in this case its password.
