Hi Guys, I'm having some trouble with understanding how the Auth-module actualy works with ldap. The thing i'm actually trying to do is to create a user (in the best case using the register-form/function), both in ldap and in web2py.
After some research i've discovered that web2py requires the auth_user-table to exist, mainly to match the web2py user-id with the ldap-user. So for each ldap-user, there should be one record with a unique web2py user-id. And that this user will automaticly be added (in auth_user) upon logging in, when this records doesn't exist. Since web2py authenticates to the ldap-directory. But uses the web2py user-id for internal stuff (e.g. which user is logged in.) I assume this "auth_users vs ldap" matching is done by comparing the usernames? Can some confirm this is 100% true, and i'm not missing anything? Also Since the authentication is done based on the ldap-service. I'm starting to doubt that the auth_group table is really necessary, since the user memberlist can be deducted from the ldap. But if web2py also uses the group-id for internal things, i could be wrong on this subject. With kind regards, Jacobs Dennis. -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
