Autofill authenticated user's session settings from Active Directory

Description

This patch adds functionality to retrieve email and name from an Active Directory server for a logged in user if their either their 'Name' and/or 'Email' session settings are blank. Looks for [session] trac.ini flags to enable/disable each.

Dependencies:

• ​pywin32
• ​active_directory
• Trac 0.11dev-r5883 or newer (might work with lower revs, but this is what I tested on);

Source

You can check out LdapSessionSettingsPatch from ​here using Subversion, or browse the source with Trac.

Example

• install the required modules: ​pywin32 and ​active_directory
• Apply the file patch session_patch.diff to your existing /trac/web/session.py (or just copy (and rename) the provided session_full.py over your existing /trac/web/session.py -- BUT BACKUP YOUR ORIGINAL FIRST!!)
• Modify your trac.ini file:

  [session]
  ## this setting indicates that if the user hasn't filled 
  ##   in a name on their 'Preferences' page, go try and 
  ##   grab it from the LDAP/AD server (the 'displayName' user property)
  ## default: false
  get_name_from_ldap_if_empty = true
  
  ## this setting indicates that if the user hasn't filled 
  ##   in an email on their 'Preferences' page, go try and 
  ##   grab it from the LDAP/AD server (the 'mail' user property)
  ## default: true
  get_email_from_ldap_if_empty = true
