LDAP user synchronization #1478

lafriks · 2017-04-10T01:07:21Z

Ported from my Gogs pull request that I have been using in production for about a year but as it is still not accepted in Gogs I am posting it here in hope to sooner migrate to Gitea

What user information is synced ? Could this comment be expanded to tell more about the feature ?

Same user information as when authorizing using external authorization and creating new user (LDAP)

Updated comment that only LDAP user sync is supported

"Same information" being ? Email and FullName ? Anything else ?
Could it be written in the comment ?

Same information just like when authorizing that is already in existing code, I'm just adding user information updating/new user creation on regular interval, so I don't think this would be appropriate place to specify such information in configuration file

Could you document the default with a comment ?

Default values are the ones that are here

I actually recently found out that's not the case, there's an internal default in setting.go for all the settings, so that conf/app.ini really only has the role of a template to be copied to the custom/conf/ directory, for customizing it. When customizing values (changing them) it's still useful to have comments telling what the default is.

Are both SCHEDULE and UPDATE_EXISTING needed or could SCHEDULE alone express both variables (with a value like @never or similar to express disabling the feature) ?

lafriks · 2017-04-10T09:19:04Z

Yes, both settings (SCHEDULE and UPDATE_EXISTING) are needed - When setting UPDATE_EXISTING is set to false only new users are created, existing user data is not updated

strk · 2017-04-10T09:30:05Z

Are you saying that even with UPDATE_EXISTING disabled there will be a periodic upgrade of new users ? Or if you're just talking about user creation event, how does it have to do with a SCHEDULE ?

lafriks · 2017-04-10T10:24:55Z

Yes, UPDATED_EXISTING false will only create new users that are in LDAP but are not in Gitea, it will not update user info that are already created/imported in Gitea. SCHEDULE is interval how often it will either create new users (when UPDATE_EXISTING is false) or update/create new ones/disable deleted ones (when UPDATE_EXISTING is true)

strk · 2017-04-10T10:31:42Z

Ah, now I get it (maybe). Is this whole PR about automatically creating local records for all users known by the LDAP database ?

lafriks · 2017-04-10T11:00:31Z

Yes, all that match user filter

lunny · 2017-04-10T11:43:58Z

I have no test environment, but looks good.

strk · 2017-04-10T16:10:27Z

It does sound useful, although possibly network intensive, to have all users known at once, and automatically created. I also have a LDAP backed instance and often find myself asking people to "login once" before I can grant them access to projects. It might be fun to test importing them all automatically (speaking of thousand...)

lafriks · 2017-04-10T16:51:44Z

Had no problem with 200 it was matter of seconds. Large user count 1k+ sync can be optimised with ldap paging but let's leave that for other PR ;)

strk · 2017-04-10T19:55:26Z

I just checked and it's actually 20K users, not 2K, so 100 times as much as those you tried. Would that mean a matter of minutes per sync ?

lafriks · 2017-04-10T20:17:46Z

Can't say for sure but it would be interesting to see results :) I think bottleneck for this would be inserts to database not searching ldap. Also depending on ldap server configuration you would most probably hit max search result limit. For active directory server it is 1000 by default, it will not return more than that and only way around it is ldap paging...

lafriks · 2017-04-10T20:21:57Z

Anyway when this gets accepted I could try add paging support for search results in other PR

If I read correctly this is an indent-only change, and is also introducing a wrong indent (does "make lint" not complain about it?)

I had goreturns formatter set in editor and this change was not intentional. make lint was not complaining about it. Anyway changed it back to what it was before

lafriks · 2017-04-15T08:49:21Z

Ooops... did rebase from gitea upstream master and now this pull request looks strange... :) Should I create new one?

lunny · 2017-04-20T02:17:04Z

@lafriks rebase and push force to your branch. Create a new one is also OK.

lafriks · 2017-04-30T21:25:45Z

OK, rebased correctly

lafriks · 2017-04-30T21:27:51Z

Why this pull request was moved to 1.3.0?

tboerger · 2017-05-05T07:26:49Z

I can add sync now button later in other PR

Yes please

I can add single user sync on login in different PR later on when this is merged in

That also makes sense.

lunny · 2017-05-05T08:48:12Z

I have tested this successfully. But I think we need a checkbox on ldap configuration to allow disable this.

* Add administrator action to sync external users

lafriks · 2017-05-05T12:56:19Z

@lunny I have added option to enable/disable user synchronization for each login source

@tboerger I have added action in admin dashboard to start user synchronization manually
