I’m currently running Mantis 1.3.0dev (by now a little out-dated, I believe it’s a few months old) and the customizations work just fine. So I would assume, that this will also work with 1.2.5.

Did you also look at http://www.eiben.weite-welt.com/2010/07/integrated-windows-authentication-in-mantis-updated-to-mantis-1-2-1/? There I described some changes that happend in the Mantis base and how that affects which files need to be modified.

Basically you can look at the patch-file to see what actually needs to be changed.

If you need help, feel free to post either to the comments or mail me directly.

Hi eiben, thanks for that great article. Since I’ll be doing a new installation of Mantis 1.2.5, I am wondering if the script (new one) will work with Mantis 1.2.5 too ? And I am not clear about which files to change ?

@Rick: yes, you have to create the accounts in Mantis as well in order to assign issues to these users. The account in Mantis is equal to the username, and the users log in using just “user” (not user@ACME.COM or ACME\user).

Cool stuff! How do you manage the user names in Mantis? Do you create them there as well? (Only the username part?)

Does the solution only support logging in as “user@ACME.COM” or also as “ACME\user”?

I have used the suggestions here (and the next post of course) for 1.2.1 and seem to get weird results. Apache is set up nicely and can authenticate against my AD. Testing against another folder works just fine, but I guess something with Mantis makes it more complicated…

OK, sorry for the delay, but I was just too busy to prep a new post. But finally I did get around to it, and you’ll find a new patchfile at http://www.eiben.weite-welt.com/2010/07/integrated-windows-authentication-in-mantis-updated-to-mantis-1-2-1/

I will see into that – actually I’m running it with Mantis 1.2.1, but Sergey you’re right, since I needed to make some minor modifications, because the actual lines moved somewhat. I will create a new patch-file and upload that.

This is exactly what I need! But unfortunately the link to the patch is broken.
