NTLM authentication in windows

[Byju]

Hi All,

Could someone tell me how to allow users to login using NTLM authentication
into bugzilla so that he wont have the login prompt to access bugzilla?

We probably have to use auth_env_email setting, but i could not understand
how to work it out. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Byju

a) You need Apache with mod_auth_sspi active with appropriate settings
for the Bugzilla directory. This gives you a REMOTE_USER environment
variable.

b) The REMOTE_USER contains the domain credentials - i.e. YOURDOMAIN
\YOURUSER, not the email address. Bugzilla is unhappy about missing
email addresses. So you need to map from YOURDOMAIN\YOURUSER to an
email address. This you can accomplish using a custom login class
(written in Perl).

This is how I did it - with the added fun of having to authenticate
two branches of an Active Directory forest which have different layout
(mail address is in different places)
