You'll need to edit a couple of files:
sitemap.xmap, look for:
<map:match pattern="login">
<map:select type="AuthenticationCountSelector">
<map:when test="0">
<map:transform type="Include" src="noAuthMethod.xml" />
<map:serialize type="xml"/>
</map:when>
<map:when test="1">
<map:act type="LoginRedirect" />
</map:when>
<map:otherwise>
<map:transform type="LoginChooser"/>
<map:serialize type="xml"/>
</map:otherwise>
</map:select>
<map:serialize type="xml"/>
</map:match>
You'll probably want to remove the 'when test="1"' clause and replace the
content of the 'otherwise' clause with the content of the 'when test="1"'.
This will then use the LoginRedirect class to always redirect the user
rather than presenting the login chooser to the user.
I've not tried it, so you might find this is enough because password and
LDAP authN both use a similar login form, and once the user has entered
their credentials DSpace tries each authN method in turn (irrespective of
which one the user selected) until one accepts the credentials.
If it isn't enough, then you'll need to edit
org.dspace.app.xmlui.aspect.eperson.LoginRedirect.java:
final String url = ((AuthenticationMethod) authMethods.next())
.loginPageURL(ContextUtil.obtainContext(objectModel),
httpRequest, httpResponse);
This can be changed to something like:
final String url = "/xmlui/ldap-login";
This will mean all authN methods redirect to the LDAP login screen.
Hope this helps,
Stuart
