IIS/LDAP question

Hi Here are my observations/questions from today:

 

I was trying to get Continua working with our AD but unsuccessfully.I installed continua on Win2K3, therefore using IIS6. Is IIS6 supported forthis feature. This time I looked in the documentation and couldn’t findanything.

 

I configured IIS6 (ContinuaCI site) to use IntegratedWindows authentication. Updated Continua.Server.Service.exe.config file. ()

Created LDAPGroup and picked the right LDAP Group from thedrop-down menu. Associated LDAPgroup with Administators group.

But I wasn’t able to login using mydomain.com credentials.

Am I missing some steps here? Thank you.

 

 

While doing all this I ran into following:

When I was creating users, I was typing password without capitalletter. The dialog did not give me any warning. I just couldn’t save the password.I didn’t realize what was going on until I looked at the Event  Log. It would be nice to have a warning on thedialog, similar what we see now if we miss a filed.

 

When associating groups, I accidently created crossreference. I assigned LDAPGroup to be a member of Administrator group, andAdministrator group to be a member of LDAPGroup. This totally crashed the ContinuaCIAplication Service. The service couldn’t start anymore.

I fixed it by going directly to the SQL, and deletingoffending entries from the tables. I understand I made a mistake here, but Continuaprobably shouldn’t have crashed like this. There are nicer ways to deal withsimilar situations.

 

Application:Continua.Server.Service.exe

FrameworkVersion: v4.0.30319

Description:The process was terminated due to stack overflow.

 

 

In general my colleagues and I like Continua CI and willcontinue to test this beta version to make sure it meets our requirements(Using LDAP is one of them).

 

Thank you.

 

Hi Tina,
We’re working on a couple of fixes now for your issue. I’ll have someone post here once all the problems are fixed so you know which build to look out for. I’m hoping we can get all the fixes in the for the next build sometime tomorrow.

The issue with the password validation and the issue with circular references have both been fixed in the latest build.

There are however still a number of issues with the LDAP support which we will work on next week.

Thank you very much for your quick responses.

Tina
