You use Active Directory (AD) for managing your users and you would like to connect FishEye to AD to authenticate users. For many administrators this can be confusing because AD tries to hide the complexities of LDAP from the user.
- Download and install Apache Directory Studio.
- Once installed Apache Directory Studio go into File -> New -> LDAP Connection and follow the wizard. The details you enter in step 2 will be the inital bind user / password for FishEye.
- Now we have a connection to AD. Browse to the location where your users are stored. In my case its under
CN=Users,DC=test2,DC=local
. Here I select a user Administrator. At the very top we see the DN. This is how we identify the users.
In this instance the DN isCN=Administrator,CN=Users,DC=test2,DC=local
, so the Base DN for FishEye would beCN=Users,DC=test2,DC=local
.CN=Administator
identifies the user, so the user filter would be(CN=${USERNAME})
. - For the UID attribute, email attribute and the display name attribute, I can get that information from the right hand pane above. In my case UID attribute is
cn
, the email attribute ismail
and the display name attribute isdisplayName
. - With all that information we are now ready to connect FishEye to AD. To summarise we have:
LDAP URL
ldap://w2003domain.sydney.atlassian.com:389
Base DN
CN=Users,DC=test2,DC=local
User Filter
(CN=${USERNAME})
UID Attribute
cn
Email Attribute
mail
Display Name Attribute
displayName
Initial Bind user
Administrator
Initial bind password
password
- Placing that information into FishEye:
