Hi! Maybe I'm doing something wrong here in my understanding.
I just set up a fresh Invenio instance and populated it with local changes. Especially, I enabled LDAP-login right away and even made it the default login method. So far so good and it even works nicely. Now, I'm playing around with setting up the demo site and I stumbled upon the point where I should enter the admin password to schedule certain tasks. This should be empty by default, right? However, as soon as I enabled LDAP, the admin password changes to my LDAP-password, ie. it authenticates against LDAP all the time even though I use a local nickname. First of all it took me a while to understand that the local nickname (admin) gets authenticated against a global password storage (LDAP) ie. Invenio resolves admin to my mail address and then authenticates against the LDAP. This is ok, if intended. (Some note in the docs would be in order. Sam, I think we should add this to the file I sent you?) On the other hand I'm not shure that this is sensible, especially for the admin account. I felt that this should always allow for local login without requiring external systems to answer properly. That's why it took me a while to understand that I should use my LDAP credentials and not the default password. So, at the end I'm at a "bug or feature" question... -- Kind regards, Alexander Wagner Subject Specialist Central Library 52425 Juelich mail : [email protected] phone: +49 2461 61-1586 Fax : +49 2461 61-6103 http://www.fz-juelich.de/zb/mitarbeiter/fachinformation#wagner ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Forschungszentrum Juelich GmbH 52425 Juelich Sitz der Gesellschaft: Juelich Eingetragen im Handelsregister des Amtsgerichts Dueren Nr.
