    ApacheDS LDAP Integration
    It seems the Tuleap LDAP plugin does not support ApacheDS LDAP. It does support ActiveDirectory and OpenLDAP but we don't use these. We are a Java shop and use ApacheDS with our own apps because of the awesome integration with Spring and Eclipse.

    I have tried numerous times to get tuleap to work with ApacheDS but to no avail. Simply nothing happens at all, it does not even try to connect. Eventually I found out it is not supported.

    We will be upgrading from 7.6 to the latest and greatest soon.

    Maybe this is possible in newer versions?

    Hi
    I hit this bug with apacheDS a few years ago: https://tuleap.net/plugins/tracker/?aid=7151 but it has been corrected in tuleap 7.3.

    From your tuleap server, can you perform a simple ldapsearch on your apacheDS? Do you have logs on apacheDS about tuleap trying to retrieve fields? Can you attach your sanitized ldap.inc file?

    I don't anymore. We ended up just giving up on ApacheDS and installed another server with OpenLDAP. Tuleap connected to OpenLDAP without a hitch. We also just installed an entirely new Tuleap instance as ours was very out of date. I wish I still had the link but I found one other poor soul who also tried ApacheDS and they were not successful either.

    Here is some Tuleap docs that explicitly mention Tuleap only uses ActiveDirectory and OpenLDAP

    Hi,

    I'm a bit surprised when you say Tuleap does not even try to connect to your LDAP directory. Do you have some information about LDAP in /var/log/tuleap/codendi_syslog?
