Yes, this possibility is desirable.

I would love to see a patch from 0.6.4 with this feature (or even 0.7 when it comes out). The above patch appears to be 0.6.3.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've recently updated my server to the 0.7.3 release and so my patch. I've been using it for months now and it works quite good.
I hope it will be integrated into the trunk one day. I can do the adaptation job if developers are too busy.

Thanks,

This Patch is available since 3 Years now and still not in Redmine... Is there any chance it will be included some day? I think this feature is mandatory for LDAP authentication.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey,

I adapted the patch above to the current svn version (r5657). I also added some things to prevent crashes, if no filter is supplied. I also created a patch to update net::Ldap to the latest stable version (0.2.2). I hope you can give me some feedback on these two patches.

Does this support ldap groups also?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey,

This Patch does allow to restrict the possible Users that are allowed to Login. It does not make any informations that are in the ldap Directory available to redmine. You can specify a Filter As described here: http://www.selfadsi.de/ldap-filter.htm

This provides a simple method to specify a ldapgroup that is allowd to login. But it does not allow you to specify groups that will Be admins if the Login or groups that will Be developers. For this purpose there are other patches here available. I think they can Be combined with this patch if they are based on net::ldap which some are.
