i have a little problem i installed the Active Direcory Plugin in combination with role based strategy. Now i can login with Active Direcotory Users but not anymore with local users. How i can login with Local-Jenkins-Users to Jenkins ?
The local Users are already in the Role-based-strategy with admin permission.
Are anything possible like login locally e.g. .\ since Windows Login without a Domain
I read some articles and I think you can't mix two kinds of strategy (local + AD).
The best option is to change the authorization stragegy like bellow:
Next, add some permissions/roles to your AD account.
Switch again on the Role-Based stragegy and you should be able to use your AD account.

I have recently switched to using AD login on my Jenkins instance but I notice Jenkins has restricted the functionalities I can access including the Manage Jenkins view:
I can no longer login with the admin user after this re-configuration since it returns incorrect password from the Active Directory.
Did I miss something else in configuring AD authentication ?
If so what because the guide I followed was straight-forward and has no mention of using the built-in database users. I am not sure either if my permissions will be linked to my AD group ( my AD user is not in Admin group).
I am also not sure on whether Jenkins continues supporting login with the admin user after you have enabled AD authentication.
So this will come down to you Authorization Plugin and what you have setup there.
If you are using the Role Based Strategy and haven't granted your user Admin permissions then it is correct for you have not got them.
When setting up the Active Directory Plugin in the Advanced menu there is an option for Use Jenkins Internal Database which allows
This option allows to fallback into the Jenkins Internal User Database for the specific user selected (ONLY ONE USER).
You could select this option and set your built in user (or admin) as the fallback.
If you are currently totally locked out you can edit the config.xml and set <useSecurity> to false and restart the Jenkins process which will remove the Active Directory config
I am trying to configure a project-based authorization matrix in Jenkins. All of the users are authenticated through the SAML 2.0 plugin which is functioning as expected. Users are added to an Active Directory group to get access to the server, and then assigned permissions using the matrix. What I would like to do, is have the Authenticated Users group serve as a baseline for what all logged in users are permitted to do, and then grant administrative access to a few Active Directory users who will have Admin privileges. However, only 2 out of the 8 users granted Admin privileges in the Matrix (underlined in blue) are able to see the "Manage Jenkins" button in their portal, while the other 6 users (underlined in red) are unable to see Manage Jenkins. All 8 users are in the same AD group and there are no discernible differences among these 8 users. auth matrix
Jenkins version is 2.289.1 running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux
I figured out the that the problem was with Jenkins' config.xml file which Jenkins uses to configure global security. Some users were stored in the format "Firstname, Lastname", while others were stored as their email address. In the Jenkins UI, it will display users as "Firstname, Lastname", but it uses the email address to identify them on the back end. I manually edited the file and replaced all of the user's names with their email addresses. I then ran sudo systemctl restart jenkins and allowed me to assign permissions to those users.
I'm new to Umbraco and I configured it to use Active Directory for login following the official documentation (https://github.com/umbraco/UmbracoDocs/blob/master/Reference/Security/index.md#authenticating-with-active-directory-credentials). The behavior is a bit odd.
Before I configured the AD integration, I was able to to login to Umbraco with the email/password defined upon installation. After the integration, I could login with the same email but with my AD password so I guess that the integration kind of work...
However, now, I'd like some other people to login on the site via their AD credential, however, I have no idea how to achieve that. If I invite user, it creates an account with his email but he has to define a password, so it's not AD integrated. Same thing occurs if I try to create a new user.
So at the end of the day, I have no idea how to integrate reliably AD with Umbraco. Does anyone already achieve this and can give me pointers?
I'm running Umbraco 7.10.2.
You need to first create a User account in Umbraco so that you can assign the necessary permissions etc. This is a standard Umbraco User and needs to correspond to the AD username. I'm not sure though that the Umbraco User needs a designated password though; it's possible you can just let Umbraco auto-generate the password and they will be able to log in with the AD credentials.
To fully integrate Umbraco with AD in the way you're expecting would require some extra code on your part to query AD and pull in the users, auto-generate and link them to a corresponding Umbraco User with an auto-generated password. It's doable, just will take some creative coding on your part.
Update:
If you look in the Umbraco Log after attempting to log in as an Active Diretory user without a corresponding Umbraco User you will most probably find an error with the following message:
The user <UserName> does not exist locally and currently the ActiveDirectoryBackOfficeUserPasswordChecker doesn't support auto-linking, see http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-10181
The referenced Issue has more details available: http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-10181
I am trying to understand how to create MVC5 website with Active Directory authentication. Also I want to manage users. So for this I created a simple project in VS2013 and selected "Windows Authentication". When I run the application I get authentication popup to enter AD username and password. After that it does says on top right "Hello AD/UserName!".
But I am not seeing logic where it actually calls for authentication. Also I want to save few AD users to database and allow only them to login to website. How can I do this? Also how will my other web pages know whether user is already authenticated. Thank You.
One Approach-
Instead of selecting 'Windows Authentication', you choose 'Anonymous' (doesn't remember exact word here)
Implement logic to Authenticate user against Active Directory. Once user is Authenticate, store that user object into 'User' property of Current Context. So that you can access it and authorised user in subsequent request.
As you are aware, AD can only authenticate user against it. Providing access to few of them is authorisation part which we need to handle as part of our application. Since you want to enable access to website for few people of AD, what you can do is add those users in your application's database and allow authorisation to those only.
I am trying to authenticate users from Active Directory using devise and ldap in Rails .
I am successful in authenticating from Login Credentials which users enter.
But once user is authenticated his credentials will be saved in session.
I do not want users to login using credentials. But the application
should detect Domain once user logs into windows and use Windows authentication
if that Domain is present in Active Directory.
I followed this : http://everything-ruby.blogspot.in/2011/04/installing-windows-server-2008-ee-with_13.html and works fine.
Can anyone guide me in right path to achieve this?
Thanks in Advance
Kind of an old post but others may be interested:
It sounds to me that what you're trying to achieve is single sign-on. If so then you probably want to look into CAS (Central Authentication Services) instead. AD supports this and it's pretty easy in Rails as well.
