enhance form and active directory

[jayboado]

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

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.
