can I configure the LDAP settings from a CLI in bitbucket?

[Matthew Connolly]

We are wanting to script the install of bitbucket and this will help us get started.

Thanks

 Hey @Matthew Connolly,

We are tracking this use case (together with the broader scope of a fully automated installation) on this feature request:

- BSERV-5167 Enable unguided/automated installation

This one covers the possibility to configure user directories via REST API endpoint:

- BSERV-7558 - Automate LDAP configurations in multiple instances

Cheers and thanks @Christian Glockner!

in the mean time are these settings stored in a App database, and can I export the DB to import with my desired settings during config?

Hi @Matthew Connolly,

If you need to migrate a Bitbucket Server instance to a new server or when performing a restore in general, these settings will be migrated/restored as well. In this case, the settings will be migrated with the entire content of the database and the home directory.

Exporting just these settings and re-importing them by accessing the database directly is not supported.

The only available workaround is to perform the configuration by accessing the user interface. Here are the step by step instructions:

Hi Matthew,

Unfortunately you can only configure the LDAP settings via the GUI.
