I use likewise-open to connect to a Windows AD, and I am able to see AD users.

What should I do to authenticate a user for git when I push to and pull from a git repository? Where is this configured?

There is already already this script for group user authentication through AD, within gitolite, in the contrib/ldap directory.
The idea remain to have an intermediate layer (here with gitolite, a ssh-based layer through forced commands), which is able to authorized a git command based on the result of a LDAP query.

  • I must use ssh? I think about http.. So gitolite should solve authentication problem? I configure it to use AD and to authenticate git repository directory ?

  • @netmajor: you need a layer which will have a way to identify the user, in order to match that user with an AD. If you layer has a way to get a user id, then it can be used to query the AD, as the script I mention illustrates. You don't have to use gitolite, but it is an example of such a layer having a secure way to check a user id (since the user has to have the proper private key in order to be matched to his/her deployed public key on the gitolite side).
