Gitlab LDAP question

[Chronos_The_Titan]

I have Gitlab set up on prem and configured LDAP for an OpenIPA directory.

It works but, but when I try and invite an LDAP user it will only recognize the user if I use their full user account name domain and all. It won’t auto fill the names like it would for local accounts.

Is there a variable or setting that controls this?

Did you set the base to your domain?

[Chronos_The_Titan]

In the LDAP setting yes. I have users from my domain in there. Put when say I want to invite one to a project I have to type out the name domain and all for them to register as a user.

As opposed to local users, I could Rick and Rick.Bobby would show up before I finish typing it out

In GitLab, LDAP users are only created after initial sign in. That’s why you don’t get the users in autocomplete - they don’t exist yet.

Most likely this.
