[racktables-users] Re: LDAP + features (request?)

Hi Martin!
1. Have you changed $user_auth_src, $ldap_server, $ldap_domain and $ldap_search_attr in secret.php file? I think that should be enough for 0.17 version. 2. If you go to Objects->Servers you'll get a list of all the servers. Is that what you meant? 3. I don't think it's possible right now, but you always can write a report you want to see, if you know php :) 

Cheers,
Denis.

Hi,

Racktables is a great tool. I love it. But I have 3 main problems with
it. I hope you'll be able to
help me somehow.

1/ I can't use ldap to authenticate my users. From the
UserAuthentication page[1], I can see
that there is 3 steps to do this :
* Make sure there is a working LDAP environment already. [DONE]
* Write necessary options to secret.php file (see below).  [DONE]
* Log into Racktables as administrator user and switch the "User
authentication source" option
(Configuration: User interface) from "database" to "ldap". => I have
nothing that looks like
"database" or "User authentication source" in Configuration: User interface.

Maybe this is due to the fact that I use version 0.17.0 (built from
SVN) and not the last stable
release ?

2/ I can't find how to print a summary of all the servers. Is there a
way to do this ?
This would be very usefull for me, so I can just print the summary
(basically one one page
all racks from a row, all servers with name+hardware type), so that I
can go with this paper
in the datacenter and then check that my version is up-to-date, or
otherwise write the diff
on the paper.

3/ Is there a way to sort all the server by OS ?
I'd like to have a quick view of how many servers run etch, so that I
can choose the next
server i'll update to lenny. Also I can compare how many servers are
up-to-date and
how many aren't and how fast I can correct this.


Thank you for your time
