Hi Jay,

JTrac currently only supports authentication with LDAP / AD, you can refer the online install guide for the details: http://jtrac.info/doc/html/features.html#features-ldap

Much of the functionality of JTrac depends on the mapping of users to spaces (projects).  So I don't think it is feasible that we can make an LDAP query at the time of creating an item, i.e. ItemFormPage.  But what should be possible is
  • enhancing the existing user admin UI to pick users from LDAP
  • allowing users to plug in a piece of authorization code that automatically uses LDAP info to map a user to a space
  • although the mapping of users to spaces has to exist within the local database of JTrac, we can add a check at the time of login if there is any update to the users LDAP profile and do the necessary changes to the local database
Patches welcome :)  You will find a developer guide on the website.  I can help wherever I can.

Thanks,

Peter.

hi everyone,

   I just installed J-trac a few minutes ago. And I was at the midst of
playing around with it. I was able to change my database to MySql. My
questions are:

 1. Is is possible to alter the ItemFormPage.html?
 2. Since we are taking incidents or logging tickets from our applications
users, is it possible to integrate our companies active directory. Like, I
am planning to add a field in the ItemFormPage, then there will be a
UserField there, and everytime, we enter a user, there is a link that will
open our active directory and select the name.

thanks for your help in advance

jay
