Active-Directory plugin too undocumented about scm-manager

The plugin needs no configuration, it uses the domain of the host. Are you able to login into the webinterface with a domain user?

Hi, thanks for answering.

Sadly, I'm not able to login as domain user. Which format should I use for the login?

• Domain\DomainUser
• or just DomainUser

just domainuser. Any exceptions in the console?

It works! The difference is that I ran the server as a domain user instead of a local user.

Here's my proposal for documenting this:

---

= How To: Active Directory Plugin =

The AD plugin requires that you run the scm-manager server on windows.

• Connect your Windows machine to your local Active Directory
• Log in as a user of that directory
• Run the scm-server batch file
• Install the active-directory plugin

Thanks btw, scm-manager is great.

Thanks. I've created a wiki page https://bitbucket.org/sdorra/scm-manager/wiki/active-directory-plugin.

How can I login to a remote active directory?
Should it work in same way?

I'm not able to login. For instance if my domain is: example.com

My login will be example.comusername ? :S And how should I add to the users?
