LDAP authentication in NAV using netgroups

Open jmbredal opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

The new group-support in the LDAP authentication within NAV is great, but it needs some improvement. We need to get support for LDAP authentication using netgroups, to prevent the limitations in filegroups (NIS), which is limited to 18 groups.

I am no LDAP guru, but as far as I know, and gotten explained from people who know LDAP this is the problem : In netgroups, the userobject is nisNetgroupTriple, and not memberUid as in filegroups. This leads to a failure of authentication in NAV.

A short description describing this can be seen here : http://www.sunmanagers.org/pipermail/summaries/2002-January/000604.html

NAV version is 3.4.4
