I have read that in the new versions and in newer way of the availability of Mattermost (where team edition is now entry) Gitlab oauth will not work anymmore.
I suppose the natural evolution perhaps could be to go with LDAP auth. I have seen it works with SSO too so perhaps would be the most reasonable change to do.
I say the most reasonable because if I for instance remove each user and recreate again I would loss all his/her comments and permissions in private groups for instance…
Perhaps the most reasonable way of achieving it would be to “migrate-auth” with mmctl to ldap of each user?.
It seems LDAP works in the open source version, doesn’t it?.
What would be the most reasonable way for us to be able to upgrade to future Mattermost version?. What are the possibilities with the open source version in this way?.
Team edition (Open Source edition) contains NO licensed features of the other version. Gitlab OAuth has been removed, also due to changes on the Gitlab side. LDAP is also NOT included.
Entry edition contain ALL features of the licensed versions & these features are available (there is some enterprise advanced stuff, that is not included, but I don’t think this is a big restriction). So Entry includes ALL authentication options. So one way would be to either switch to OAuth and keep the user id property (Could be the email address) or switch to LDAP & also make sure that the email address and/or user id maps to the current user id on your Mattermost server. I would test this before…
Entry is not limited in the # of users. As many as you like BUT the message history of ALL channels / DMs, etc. is restricted to 10.000 messages.
Depends on your use case, if Entry works for you.
We defined, that Mattermost is a real time communication tool and all documentable outcome of a chat/thread/discussion needs to be documented OUTSIDE of Mattermost (Jira, other tools).
AI with the MCP server of Mattermost can do this for you automagically…
I say my previous question because I can’t figure the exact implications when is said : “Mattermost Entry is best suited for teams less than 50 users” .
