This allows users to access redMine with their usual user names and passwords.</p><p>For each known reference, you can specify if the accounts can be created on the fly on redMine. If needed, the user accounts will be created automatically during the user&#8217;s signing in (without any specific rights on the projects), according to information available in the reference. Otherwise, the administrator must have previously created the user account on redMine.</p><p></p><div class="section" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="d0e341"></a>10.1.&nbsp;LDAP statement</h3></div></div></div><p></p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><span class="guilabel">Name</span> : reference display name</p></li><li><p><span class="guilabel">Host</span> : LDAP server host name</p></li><li><p><span class="guilabel">Port</span> : connection port to the LDAP server</p></li><li><p><span class="guilabel">Account</span> : DN of the connection account to LDAP (please leave it blank if the directory authorizes anonymous read access)</p></li><li><p><span class="guilabel">Password</span> : password of the connection account</p></li><li><p><span class="guilabel">Base DN</span> : Basic DN used for user search in the directory</p></li><li><p><span class="guilabel">LDAP screen</span> : User search screen in the directory (optional)</p></li><li><p><span class="guilabel">LDAP features</span> :</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="circle"><li><p><span class="guilabel">Identifier</span> : LDAP feature name used as user identifier (e.g.: uid)</p></li><li><p><span class="guilabel">First name</span> : LDAP feature name including the user&#8217;s first name (ex: givenName)</p></li><li><p><span class="guilabel">Last name</span> : LDAP feature name including the user&#8217;s last name (ex: familyName)</p></li><li><p><span class="guilabel">E-mail</span> : LDAP feature name including the user&#8217;s e-mail address (ex: mail)</p></li></ul></div></li></ul></div><p>The features" <span class="guilabel">First name</span> ", " <span class="guilabel">Last name</span> " and " <span class="guilabel">E-mail</span> " are not used except when the accounts are created on the fly.</p></div></div><div class="navfooter"><hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="ch01s09.html">Prev</a>&nbsp;</td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="ch01.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right">&nbsp;<a accesskey="n" href="ch01s11.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">9.&nbsp;E-mail notifications&nbsp;</td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" alig
