Converting user account with password to AD

[RBUser]

We generally use Active Directory for ReviewBoard authentication.

We do still have a few users that have accounts with passwords.

We would like to convert those user accounts to use AD instead of ReviewBoard passwords. How can we do this? I looked in the database and I found the table with user account information, but I don't see anywhere where it lists the login method.

If Review Board is configured to use AD, it will try that first for all users. If that authentication fails, then it will use the database password. Assuming those users have AD accounts, you shouldn't need to do anything--they'll be able to log in with their AD credentials. You can enforce this by just clearing out the password in the database.

David,

Thank you for your reply. That was very helpful information. I did not realize that was how it worked.

How do I clear out the password in the database? Do I just set the value to NULL? It looks like even users that are using AD do have a value in the password column.
