Description
Roller should be configurable to work with external user directory, rather than relying on its proprietary user database that is stored in MySQL. For instance, I tried to setup jRoller to work with Active Directory that runs the user directory of my company. I configured tomcat and I believe I made the authentication against the Active Directory working. However, I only saw a blank page after logging into my Roller using my domain account. The problem is that Roller expects the logged in user belonging to some specific groups (like editor, administrator, etc). There is no such attibute in my Active Directory that I can map the two probably.
Will Roller be enhanced to work with external, enteripse level drectories like Active Directory, or any LDAP directory, in the near future?
