Hi All,

Am using LDAP Authentication for Reviewboard, post adding the configuration details and trying to login. It fails to login.

Do we need to create the users explicitly or do they get populated automatically?

Thanks,

Sagar

Hi Sagar,

When a user with an account on the LDAP server tries to log into Review Board for the first time, Review Board will ask the LDAP server for details on that username and create an account locally. The LDAP server will continue to be used for authentication.

If this isn't working, then it's possible Review Board isn't configured to talk to LDAP correctly. We log a number of LDAP-related issues. Can you check the log file to see if you can see any?
