Readd LDAP Authentication

Unread post by drashna »

In the 5.2 branch, the LDAP authentication option was completely removed.

Please re-add this, as it makes user management significantly easier.

Okay, glad to hear it.


Though, another question/feature:

For a linux LDAP server, the current implementation is fine, as the usernames are case sensitive.
However, Windows AD's LDAP implementation is not case sensitive for usernames.

Currently, if you're using a Windows AD server, then if somebody uses different cases, it authenticates as an existing account, but MadSonic (and Subsonic) sees it as a new users.
This means that you either need to create the accounts and disable the "create new accounts" option. Or you have to deal with multiple user accounts in Subsonic for the same user.

Could we get an option that makes it case insensitive, so that there are no issues when using a Windows AD server?
And ideally, force the cached usernames to be lowercase as well.
