Using LDAP as auth method for git repositories
- by Lenni
I want to convince my boss that we should be using git for version control. He says, that it absolutely must authenticate users through our central LDAP server.
I looked at the various solutions (gitweb, gitorious ... ) and couln't really find a definitive answer about whether they support LDAP authentication.
The only solution I could find a little info on was a Apache+mod_ldap setting. But that would mean that the user authenticating on LDAP wouldn't necessarily be the same as the actual git user, right? (Not that this is a huge problem, but just something which would bug me.)
So, what's the best way to authenticate git users via LDAP?
