ActiveDirectory authenticator plugin for Sonar

Many parts of our Software Factory allready use our ActiveDirectory system to authenticate users, so they could use their regular windows domain login/password.

We use Sonar for many month now but still with its default authentication system, too bad.

Some plugins allready exist, one commercial, plugin-identity and LGPL one, LDAP Plugin

If you’re fine with LDAP settings you could use one of these.

The Zero configuration alternative

But if you want Zero Configuration and are on an ActiveDirectory infrastructure, there is a solution.
I grabbed some old code from my co-worker Thibault and created an ActiveDirectory authenticator for Sonar.

Here are the sources.

Configuration

For the configuration it’s really simple :

Then add the following lines to your sonar.properties file.

sonar.authenticator.class: org.sonar.plugins.ad.Authenticator
sonar.authenticator.ignoreStartupFailure: false

That’s all

Project

The project is hosted at google-code

Last minute update

This code has merged with the sonar-ldap plugin.
