Question

Hi all,
I have a doubt.

Lets say, I specified a database for Fogbugz to use and I also specified some LDAP server to be used for authentication by Fogbugz.

If for some reason my LDAP server or my database is not accessible (may be due to domain issues or firewall issues), Is there a way to still specify (by somehow logging in or by changing some thing on my machine) some other database or LDAP server for Fogbugz to use?

Thanks,
Mahesh Velaga.

Answer 1

If your database is not available, FogBugz is not any use.

If your LDAP server is unavailable, you have to edit the Setting table in your database to turn off LDAP authentication.

Your original FogBugz password will be the same as it was before you enabled LDAP.

This SQL query will turn off LDAP authentication:

 UPDATE Setting SET sValue=0 WHERE sKey='iAuthType'

And this one will turn it back on:

UPDATE Setting SET sValue=1 WHERE sKey='iAuthType'

Thanks to Rich Armstrong and Jacob Krall for the reply in Fogbugz technical support.
