[ZendTo] Re: Organization requirement

[Michael Masse]

Jules,
 
This works great and thank you so much for such a fast response, but there's one tiny nit pick problem with it.    It converts whatever I put within quotes to all lower case.  Since an organization name is typically a proper noun, capitalization matters in this instance.   Any chance of it keeping whatever case is specified in the config file?

Mike,

You need to add this setting (with an appropriate value) to your preferences.php file:
  'authLDAPOrganization'  => 'My Organization',
and then just replace your /opt/zendto/lib/NSSLDAPAuthenticator.php with the (gunzipped) attached file. Make sure it's globally readable:
    chmod a+r /opt/zendto/lib/NSSLDAP*
And then try to log in. If it can read the organization from your LDAP directory attributes, then it will. But if that produces nothing it will use the "authLDAPOrganization" setting instead.

Please let me know how you get on.

Sorry I didn't get it to you over the weekend, a few things cropped up which I had to attend to (people win over computers every time! :-)

Cheers!
Jules.

I would certainly be most willing to test for LDAP.

Not yet, no, that was only for IMAP.
Once someone can confirm that it does what they need in IMAP, I'll add the same to LDAP.

But if you're willing to test it for LDAP, then give me a few minutes (new Lion preview to install first!).

Will this work for if we use LDAP authentication?

If you add this setting to your preferences.php file: 
  'authIMAPOrganization' => 'University of Southampton', 
(obviously with your own organisation name in there!) 
and apply the attached patch with 
  cd /opt/zendto/lib && patch -p0 < /tmp/imaporg.patch 
and then try it again, I hope it now works better. 

Please let me know if it behaves how you want. 

Jules.

I too have had users ask me to remove that option. You are right, logged in users know who they belong to. I would say it would be best if thre was a configuration option in zendto.conf that would allow us to specify the organization, or leave it has an option for users to fill in. 

In one case of mine, we are using IMAP authentication and the IMAP server auto fills this in. However it fills in the domain name and not the actual org name. I think this is the fault of the IMAP server but we can't adjust that so the users are always fixing the org name for each dropoff or request.

Subject: [ZendTo] Organization requirement 

I can't find anything in either configuration file that would allow me to turn off the requirement to type in an organization when a logged in 
user is trying to upload a file.    All of my logged in users are from 
the same organization.   They all know what organization they all belong 
to.   There's no point in them having to type it in every time.   It 
makes sense for non logged in users, but not logged in.    How can I 
remove that requirement? 

-Mike
