I have a LDAP installation up and running that you can check here: http://en.unesco.org/mediabank

LDAP works like charm (Thanks Tim :) ) and I am planning now to move to ADFS. Unfortunately LDAP supports a lot of scenarios did you first test your LDAP with a simple perl script? If you get this done, you are at 80% of the work. I am planning also to share my devs on github, so stay tuned!

Thanks Martin,

 

I’ve had a look at getting this working using a self-certified SSL on my dev box but it doesn’t seem to be too happy. To the group – has anyone got this running? Does anyone actually have a working LDAP/ADFS login implementation? I know our EPrints currently uses a system however it is this component that I’m trying to find a more graceful solution for.

Andrew,

this is on LDAP, but it might be a beginning: https://wiki.eprints.org/w/LDAP

Any thoughts on this?
 
I am importing users from our live system which have usernames and ID numbers matching our active directory so I’m hoping that it shouldn’t be too hard to authenticate. My ideal process would be:
 

·         User logs in –
·         Are they in the user table?

o   If not, add them and authenticate
o   If so, authenticate

 
That would enable our creator browse to pick them up after a single log in, however we would probably have to figure out a process for removing users after they leave or deactivating them somehow. The big question is, of course, if their username is reused (which I’m told shouldn’t happen!)

Hello all!
 
Another thing I want to do is introduce an ADFS or similar based login system into the new migration of EPrints. As I mentioned, all users I’m migrating over have usernames and ID number that are relative to our internal systems, so I’d like to be able to authenticate logins against those systems and create new users where applicable. Again, is there any known methods (plugins etc) out there for doing this?
 
Ta!
Andrew
