Is it possible to integrate sonarqube with LDAP

Question

I want to integrate LDAP and sonarqube. Most of the places I've searched asked me to change sonarqube configuration in the sonar.properties file. These are the changes required according to them.

# LDAP configuration 
# General Configuration 
sonar.security.realm=LDAP 
ldap.url=ldap://myserver.mycompany.com 
ldap.bindDn=my_bind_dn 
ldap.bindPassword=my_bind_password 

# User Configuration 
ldap.user.baseDn=ou=Users,dc=mycompany,dc=com 
ldap.user.request=(&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(uid={login})‌​)
ldap.user.realNameAttribute=cn ldap.user.emailAttribute=mail 

# Group Configuration 
ldap.group.baseDn=ou=Groups,dc=sonarsource,dc=com 
ldap.group.request=(&(objectClass=posixGroup)(memberUid={uid‌​}))

But there is no code block such as this in my sonar.properties file. Should I add these myself? I even tried using the plugin but couldn't use it after installation.

Answer 1

Sonarqube has no default support for sonarqube. The same reason you couldn't find the ldap config block of code in you sonar.properties file.

Sonarqube has a plugin based architecture and hence, the ldap is required for ldap functionality to come. 

Answer 2

Hey, Follow these steps:

• Configure the LDAP plugin by editing $SONARQUBE-HOME/conf/sonar.properties
• Restart the SonarQube server and check the log file for:

INFO org.sonar.INFO Security realm: LDAP ...
INFO o.s.p.l.LdapContextFactory Test LDAP connection: OK

• Log into SonarQube
• On log out, you'll be presented a login page (/sessions/login), where they can choose to log in as a technical user or a domain user by passing appropriate credentials

Answer 3

You can configure SonarQube authentication and authorization by configuring the SONARQUBE-HOME/conf/sonar.properties file. It's main features are:

• Password checking against the external authentication engine.
• Automatic synchronization of usernames and emails.
• Automatic synchronization of relationships between users and groups
• You can authenticate against both the external and the internal authentication systems.

Answer 4

Add the following lines in your config file

# LDAP

sonar.security.realm=ACTIVE_DIRECTORY
sonar.authenticator.downcase=true

This used to work for me but then I updated the SonarQube version and the plugin stopped working.

Which version did you upgrade it to?

From 5.6 to 6.0

Yeah so this plugin will not work for this version. Also, the SSO will not work no matter which plugin you use.
