Can you provide more information on what you mean?

I have a task : Can the selected system be connected to AD? If so, using which protocol?

@svestka

Yes, you can use LDAP/AD for authentication and lookup in osTicket. We have the Authentication :: Active Directory and LDAP plugin available on our website for download (under the Plugins tab).

As far was "which protocol" you will need to be more specific on what you are looking for.

Cheers.

I got an assignment from my boss to find out what protocol can be used to connect the system to the active directory? I don't know how to better specify

svestka

overall, what protocol Osticket uses to connect to AD

Without further information I can only say we use the Net_LDAP2 pear library (which I believe uses LDAP_PROTOCOL_VERSION 2+) with the option of using msad or rfc-2307 schemas.

Maybe @ntozier (who has way more AD experience than me) will chime in here with his thoughts.

Cheers.

AD (Active Directory) is sort of Microsoft's implementation of LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol). LDAP is the protocol used to connect an AD server. Last I checked you need to use version LDAP v3 to connect to AD.
