LDAP Authentication

[airka]

Hello,

I want to configure LDAP authentication.
I don't want to put an AD password in plain text in the config_inc.php file. Is it possible to crypt it ?

I have an other question : why should I prefer Linux to Windows to install Mantis ?
Are the configuration files the same on the 2 OS ?

Regards,

[airka]

Nobody can help me ?

You can try to write also to the help mailing list http://www.mantisbt.org/mailinglists.php

Okay, thanks.

Do you have any ideas about my questions ?

I never used MantisBT with LDAP, so I can't really help.

I don't want to put an AD password in plain text in the config_inc.php file. Is it possible to crypt it ?

Where do you want to store the key to decrypt the password?

I have an other question : why should I prefer Linux to Windows to install Mantis ?

Maybe better quality because Linux/Apache/MySQL/MantisBT is a combination which is used by more users than Windows/Apache(or IIS)/MySQL(or SQL-Server)

Are the configuration files the same on the 2 OS ?

Yes

For future usage of the forum: Please don't mix different questions in one post. It's hard to follow up and reading "LDAP" in the title does not match the whole topic.

So I don't have other possibility, the password must be in plain text ?

I think so, but as I said, I am no specialist for LDAP.
