Gerrit+LDAP

setup gerrit with LDAP authentication.

Here are the key note for gerrit.conf file

[auth]

        type = LDAP

[ldap]

        server=

        accountBase= ou=people,dc=*,dc=*

        accountPattern=(&(objectClass=person)(uid=${username}))

        accountFullName= mail

        accountEmailAddress = mail

[httpd]

        listenUrl=http://*:8180/

 also tried apache2 proxy to LDAP. key note

created a new virtual host with port 8082, have to add this to the port.conf

the gerrit port is still 8180.

in gerrit.conf

canonicalWebUrl = http://192.168.1.30:8082/

[httpd]
        listenUrl = proxy-http://127.0.0.1:8180/

the LDAP way is easier to config, the proxy one is working halfway, can only login first user and creat admin. I don't have time to figure out why

 another lessons learned here for gerrit username.

User names cannot contain spaces.  Currently they are restricted to be
strings that match the following regular expression:

  ^[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9._-]*[a-zA-Z0-9]$

otherwise, gerrit login will give "name does not conform" error.
