Session Settings Population

[bryce@…]

I think the next logical step for LdapPlugin to grow into an LDAP backend for Trac would be to actually use the LDAP data, specifically name and e-mail address for session settings. There is already a patch (LdapSessionSettingsPatch) to automatically fill this information into the page, however this data is not being managed by the LDAP service, simply provided once. I personally would really like to see something like this as it would allow Trac to drop right into existing corporate IT structures (OpenDirectory, Active Directory) Note: This is unlike ticket:1939 which aims to store data back into LDAP, simply to retrieve back into the session store DB.
