</P

>The easiest way to get this working is to install
<A

do that, you need to
<A
HREF="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_imap.html"
TARGET="_top"
>enable
server-side image maps</A
> in Apache.
Alternatively, you could set up a webdot server, or use the AT&#38;T
public webdot server. This is the default for the webdotbase param,
but it's often overloaded and slow. Note that AT&#38;T's server
won't work
if Bugzilla is only accessible using HARTS.

This can be done by
adding the following command as a daily crontab entry, in the same manner
as explained above for bug graphs. This example runs it at 12.55am.

>2.3.5. LDAP Authentication</H2
><P
>LDAP authentication is a module for Bugzilla's plugin
authentication architecture.
</P
><P
>&#13; The existing authentication
scheme for Bugzilla uses email addresses as the primary user ID, and a
password to authenticate that user. All places within Bugzilla where
you need to deal with user ID (e.g assigning a bug) use the email
address. The LDAP authentication builds on top of this scheme, rather
than replacing it. The initial log in is done with a username and
password for the LDAP directory. This then fetches the email address
from LDAP and authenticates seamlessly in the standard Bugzilla
authentication scheme using this email address. If an account for this
address already exists in your Bugzilla system, it will log in to that
account. If no account for that email address exists, one is created at
the time of login. (In this case, Bugzilla will attempt to use the
"displayName" or "cn" attribute to determine the user's full name.)
After authentication, all other user-related tasks are still handled by
email address, not LDAP username. You still assign bugs by email
address, query on users by email address, etc.
