Bug report

Expected Behavior

being able to login with both ldap and local user

Actual Behavior

ldap user is logging in correctly but existing local user can't login.

CDash Version

v3.2.3

Additional Information

in the .env file, using this:

CDASH_ROOT_ADMIN_EMAIL=admin@host.com
CDASH_ROOT_ADMIN_PASS=<password>
# USERNAME_PASSWORD_AUTHENTICATION_ENABLED=true

# CDASH_AUTHENTICATION_PROVIDER=ldap
# LDAP_HOSTS=sub.host.com
# LDAP_BASE_DN="cn=users,dc=host,dc=com"
# LDAP_USERNAME="cn=cdash,cn=users,dc=host,dc=com"
# LDAP_PASSWORD=${DB_PASSWORD}
# LDAP_BIND_USERS_BY=userPrincipalName
# LDAP_PROVIDER=activedirectory

can login correctly,

Using

CDASH_ROOT_ADMIN_EMAIL=admin@host.com
CDASH_ROOT_ADMIN_PASS=<password>
USERNAME_PASSWORD_AUTHENTICATION_ENABLED=true

CDASH_AUTHENTICATION_PROVIDER=ldap
LDAP_HOSTS=sub.host.com
LDAP_BASE_DN="cn=users,dc=host,dc=com"
LDAP_USERNAME="cn=cdash,cn=users,dc=host,dc=com"
LDAP_PASSWORD=${DB_PASSWORD}
LDAP_BIND_USERS_BY=userPrincipalName
LDAP_PROVIDER=activedirectory

An ldap user can correctly login, but user admin@host.com can't login anymore. The testing.INFO logs shows

My understanding was that USERNAME_PASSWORD_AUTHENTICATION_ENABLED=true would allow to log in with the non ldap user even though ldap authentication is activated. But I guess I'm wrong. How could I circumvent that? Thanks very much for the help.

Unfortunately as you discovered, CDash's LDAP authentication currently blocks "regular" (database) authentication when it is enabled. We'll keep your use case in mind as we work to improve and expand our authentication support in CDash.
