TestLink

Hi,

I have been experimenting with TestLink 1.8.5 for some time and everything has been working very nicely for me. Now that i am implementing it to replace our old test management system, i would like to use the same user authentication as JIRA which runs on an Oracle Server. This is to prevent extra password management and having to log in at TestLink again. I tried googling and searching this forum but no one has seem to ask about this before.
Is it possible for TestLink to authenticate using existing JIRA user credentials which is in Oracle?

Any help will be greatly appreciate.

Regards.

never done. May be people for Jira can help you

Hi fman,
I tried posting at the atlassian forums but there wasn't any response from there. Maybe i have created some confusion in my question, please allow me to rephrase my question.
I would like to do an external authentication from an Oracle DB when logging into Testlink. I think mentioning JIRA was a bad idea.

I have tried writing simple test programs in php to connect to the database and to retrieve user information so i know it is possible. I just need to know what are the main areas or codes i need to look at to integrate that to Testlink. I have looked through the testlink codes and have identified a few files which i think are important for log in. [login.php, doauthorize.php and common.php]. Am i in the right direction? I also notice that there are variables related to connection and authentication which is used throughout the testlink source codes. what do i need to take note of when working with them?

Thanks for the reply and again any help will be greatly appreciated.
