Hi,

I’m currently moving from a redmine installation to lighthouse+warehouse. In redmine there is an option to use nss-mysql and pam (with a simple svn wrapper script) to allow for an svn+ssh solution that is completely managed through redmine – essentially the operating system is set up to use the redmine database for authenticating users via mysql.

Something like this would be really useful for warehouse! As far as the application is concerned there is not too much involved, mostly just a separate database table that is managed to show the relationship between users and groups (users/repositories in warehouse’s case). The meat of a project like this as far as I can see is in getting the documentation right for setting up the operating system.

Any thoughts?

FYI: RedMine’s howto on pam/nss authentication is available here

I had no idea about that nss-mysql and pam stuff, that sounds great. Thanks.
