Reconciliation of LDAP groups and TikiWiki groups

posts: 15 United States

Hi -

So I was playing around with LDAP authentication and I managed to get that to work. Now I am wondering if there is a way to do the following:

In my TikiWiki, I have created different groups, and defined for each group a different set of permissions. On the LDAP side there are also different groups of users, each of which should have different permissions once they get into the TikiWiki. So I am wondering, when a user logs into the TikiWiki, is there a way to extend the LDAP authentication to see which group that user is in on the LDAP side, and then set that user's TikiWiki group accordingly? Eg, if user x from LDAP group g logs into the TikiWiki, I would like x to be automatically placed in group g on the TikiWiki side to ensure that x has the right set of permissions.

If something like this is possible, let me know. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

hmm looks like batch uploading users from a csv file will be easier...
