gitolite with http acces via LDAP does not pass the username

Question

I\'m trying to setup a git server with:

• http-access to be able to clone repositories like this:

  git clone http://mygitserver/repository

Answer 1

The two solutions are:

1/ Apache + ldap, calling gitolite-shell (gitolie V3)

 ScriptAlias /hgit/ @H@/sbin/gitolite-shell/
    SetEnv GIT_HTTP_BACKEND "@H@/usr/local/apps/git/libexec/git-core/git-http-backend"
    <FilesMatch "\.(cgi|shtml|phtml|php)$">
      SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
    </FilesMatch>
    <Location /hgit>
        SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
        Options +ExecCGI +FollowSymLinks +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
        #AllowOverride All
        order allow,deny
        Allow from all
        AuthName "LDAP authentication for ITSVC Smart HTTP Git repositories"
        AuthType Basic
        AuthBasicProvider myldap companyldap

2/ Or GitLab, which had LDAP authentication: "setting up gitlab LDAP-authentication without special gitlab user"
See the config gitlab.yml ldap section.
