Ldap security for Jenkins CI

Image
I recently deployed Jenkins CI on my personal server. The hardest question was what security solution should I use. As title of this post may have suggested I have chosen to use the infrastructure I already have ... LDAP. Now I would like to describe, how easy this configuration is and how it works. My LDAP structure My base dn is dc=effy,dc=cz. And it contains two organizationUnit s ... ou=people (to hold users) and ou=groups (to hold user roles). Groups (Roles) are presented by objectClass groupOfNames , they are identified by cn . People (Users) are of objectClass inetOrgPerson , thus identified by uid .

Performance of the string switch statement
