Description Michael Scherer 2011-05-06 12:37:55 CEST
Currently, when someone try to log on bugzilla, he must use his login. That's fine and it work. However, some people may try to use their email too, and I think we could allow this by using some ldap trick. 

What about enabling this ?

( alternatively, changing the error message saying "you should not use your email" if we decide to not let people do would be a improvement )

This is not needed/useful for Bugzilla only - and I believe that's not a matter of formatting the login token, but just that the auth server accepting both email and uid.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 252 ***

This is maybe something that could be changed in bugzilla config, so I'm not sure it is a duplicate of bug #252 (which is about catdap I think).

There is some software where it may not work ( for example, all software that do not let us use a proper lda filter ), and the configuration should be software per software.

Comment 4 Romain d'Alverny 2011-05-06 13:11:57 CEST
Well, it would really be best to let all users have the same auth experience.

Sure, this could be done locally only for Bugzilla, but the benefit from having it enabled on a global scale, well... whether this means having LDAP handling it differently, or providing a different proxy auth service for that matter.
Comment 5 Nicolas Vigier 2011-05-06 13:17:21 CEST
In long term, I think an auth service would be nice. But we can also change bugzilla config (if possible) before that, as having an auth service (and agreeing how to do it) will probably take time.
Comment 6 Michael Scherer 2011-05-06 13:27:05 CEST
I agree to do it globally, but I know for sure there is case ( sympa ) where it would be difficult. So let's deploy service by service first, and to keep track of progress, open 1 bug per component :) .

If those bugs were opened, this one would depend on them, but this bug depends on no bugs at all.
And maybe I don't search well, but I can't find those other bugs.

Pinging. because nothing happened to this report since more than 3 months ago, and it still has the status NEW or REOPENED.

Please set status to ASSIGNED. If for work flow reasons you can't do that, then please put OK on the whiteboard instead.

Any news? This is still open and very much unfixed!
Also, is this 252 a dublicate of this bug? That one is still open and unfixed, too...

Did you try setting the user_verify_class parameter to "LDAP, DB"?

This parameter is at
