First of all i am new to OpenLDAP. I have installed OpenLDAP server and Redmine in GCE (google compute engine). I am unable to decide how to create a special user in OpenLDAP so that redmine can use the user account to authenticate users when logged into Redmine. Here is the OpenLDAP structure image link:

Please help me create/modify the user for Redmine LDAP authentication.

I'm not the one initially who configured our LDAP auth for redmine, and I'm not well-versed in LDAP terminology, but I compared our settings to yours.

You might try the following settings in Redmine:

Account: cn=admin,dc=ldap,dc=trickytechnos,dc=in
Password: the LDAP admin's password
Base DN: ou=people,dc=ldap,dc=trickytechnos,dc=in

If that works, then you might want to go back and create a similar LDAP user (other than admin) so that you can give it more limited permissions.

  • Hi @joecullin, I have tried what u suggested and it worked. i have created a new new user, but little confused as how to make that user read only user. Here is the LDIF file content. # Entry 1: cn=redmine,dc=ldap,dc=trickytechnos,dc=in dn: cn=redmine,dc=ldap,dc=trickytechnos,dc=in cn: redmine description: redmine administrator objectclass: simpleSecurityObject objectclass: organizationalRole objectclass: top userpassword: {SSHA}somehashpassword – Kalyan Mazumder Oct 05 '15 at 08:16
