 Description  « Hide
A customer has requested that we add support for the Apache Authentication Scheme.

Bugzilla can currently do this too as noted in their 2.20.1 release notes:

http://www.bugzilla.org/releases/2.20.1/release-notes.html:

"Environment Variable" Authentication Method -------------------------------------------- You can now tell Bugzilla to accept a certain value passed in from Apache as authentication for Bugzilla users. This means that Bugzilla now "supports" any type of authentication that Apache supports.

I am not 100% about how apache authentication works, but it should be possible to write a Seraph provider to do this. The users still need to exist in JIRA's database, or JIAR needs an OSUSer provider that will allow it to access an external user management database.
