Roller and LDAP setup
Hello all,
I've read all posts in this forum about LDAP.
Most of my doubts are clarified.
I've 2 more to clarify.
1. If I set up Roller with LDAP, users are still required to register when
accessing at first time.
Can we avoid this?
2. I've set up LDAP , there are no errors. but still I'm not sure it is
pulling data from LDAP. How do I make sure this? In the registration page,
When I give the username, if the user exists in LDAP, it should auto fill
all other fields. right? Its's not happening for me :(
3. After the registration, Roller stores the user data in Roller tables for
its further use. but it stores password as it is I mean no hashing or
encryption is being done. How do we avoid this??
Thanks in advance
Lavanya.

If you have LDAP/SSO enabled, then new users still have to register
but we pre-populate as much of the registration form as possible from
LDAP attributes.

I'm not sure. With some code changes, you might be able make the
registration happen automatically without any interaction.

Sounds like you'd got some sort of configuration problem.

With LDAP/SSO enabled, Roller should not be storing the password at all.
What steps did you follow to setup LDAP?
