Description

Currently Orangutan assumes that Jabber username is identical to Redmine username. It can do this way because in Softjourn we are using LDAP. But this makes Orangutan unusable outside Softjourn.

I see two methods to support non-LDAP usernames:

  1. Create a context responsible for asking Redmine username. This context (or helper context) would need also to ask password what does not seem to be good. Another way is to do like in Messenger - to create special Redmine plugin (extend current) which will generate passkey which then should be sent through Jabber.
  2. Extract Redmine username from database. Assuming Jabber ID is stored somewhere in Redmine database. We can use it to get Redmine username. If Jabber ID is not specified - user cannot use Orangutan! If Jabber ID is not currently supported in Redmine we can add such field and create special Redmine plugin (extend current) to support it.

Already two external users asked me for help with Orangutan. I guess this issue becomes more critical...

#4 Updated by Andriy Lesyuk over 13 years ago

A nice suggestion from one of potential Orangutan clients...

Carmen De Vito:

The next step would then be to decouple the relationship between LDAP and IM names. Maybe we can perform IM username lookups via a custom field or with the user’s email address.

Some kind of checklist:
  • Store redmine user login in Orangutan::User as new member login [DONE];
  • Use special function GetLogin to fetch Redmine user login when comparing (search for $user->GetJabberUserID) [DONE];
  • Use special function (e.g. Orangutan::User::GetDisplayName) to display just login, first and last name or JID (use login@hostname if jabber field1 is disabled) instead of login@hostname (search for $main::config->Get('jabber', 'hostname')) [DONE].

1 New special field holding user’s Jabber ID is to be called jabber.

Done everything mentioned above!.. But some new issues appeared:
  • Should check all occurances of GetUser() function and possibly replace with GetUserLogin() [DONE];
  • When in requests username does not contain @hostname Orangutan adds hostname by itself - should assume that this is login (right?)! All such places marked with FIXME;
  • Should also check all occurances of UserExists;
  • Check all places where login is used (mostly in Orangutan::Query).

  • Check all places where login is used (only Orangutan::Query left) [DONE];
  • Fix all FIXMEs (this way I marked potential problems)...

P.S. Weird... But I could not update above note!..
