abhiravk Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 This may be kind of stupid question. I was thinking if it is possible in any ways to authenticate users using plasticscm server? If this is possible then I'll write a custom authentication backend in reviewboard to authenticate against plastic scm users Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calbzam Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Hi, Plastic supports different user authentication methods: Local users, Local users: name + ID, Active Directory Integrated Security, LDAP, User/Password In your case, User/Password authentication could be the most interesting. You can check our admin guide for more information: http://www.plasticscm.com/releases/4.1/manuals-html/en/adminguide.htm#_Toc342898941 Regards, Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverKnight Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 @calbzam I think abhiravk is asking "Is there a Plastic SCM API or Web Service that I can use to authenticate users with?" In other words, he/she would tell his/her users - "Log into review board using Plastic SCM User, then ReviewBoard would authenticate with plastic using those credentials via the API so that Review Board and Plastic would have the SAME user account in context for all operations." -- e.g. a single login/user account for both, without having to synchronize user accounts when a password is expired. One of these that supported an authentication request: "Are these credentials valid?" - return of Yes/No/Expired/Locked/Disabled/etc http://plasticscm.uservoice.com/forums/15467-general/suggestions/154287-public-api http://plasticscm.uservoice.com/forums/15467-general/suggestions/998357-internal-api Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calbzam Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Hi, I missed your last line At the moment we don´t have an API that could you perform this authentication scenario. As @Silvernight said, there are open uservoice requests. You can vote for it. The most similar API feature we have is CmdRunner: http://codicesoftware.blogspot.com/2012/01/cmdrunner-power.html We are workinkg to improve it.

abhiravk Posted July 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 I got the hint from SilverKnight that this feature is not available. And got the confirmation from you I have already upvoted the request. For now, I think, sane thing to do is to configure OpenLDAP and use the same account in different programs for authentication(including PlasticSCM).
