Question

Is it possible to create new Active Directory users in FogBugz 7 through the API? I have Active Directory authentication working, and when I create a new user through the UI, it asks for the username of the user to create.

But if I create a user through the XML API, and provide the name and email address of a user that is in Active Directory, it appears that the user is created but not linked to AD. For example, if I then edit the newly created user in the UI, I am able to edit the Full Name and Email Address field. On Active Directory users, it says to see the LDAP admin to change those fields.

Answer 1

The linking between the FogBugz user you created via the API and the Active Directory user should occur when the user logs in for the first time. Any changes on the AD server to email address or fullname will be reflected in FogBugz from that point on.
