Disabling default login with LDAP not working

Created by: Th3Dan

I'm using gitlab with LDAP and so I want to disable the default git login by adding

gitlab_rails['gitlab_signin_enabled'] = false

to /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb After that I run "gitlab-ctl reconfigure" to update the changes in all gitlab files. But I still get both login tabs.

I found out that this can be solved by making any changes to the login-template:

  1. Set gitlab_rails['gitlab_signin_enabled'] = false in /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb
  2. Run gitlab-ctl reconfigure
  3. Open /opt/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-rails/app/views/devise/sessions/new.html.haml and append some random text at the beginning (e.g. "Test")
  4. Run gitlab-ctl reconfigure again, now the default login is disabled as it should.

It looks like that something with the file cache went wrong. When I make changes to the template above and run gitlab-ctl reconfigure, it has no effect. They only have when I make changes to the template AND to the /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb config file and then reconfigure gitlab.
