LDAP Login's

@Prasanna-Prachu Looks like it's been a long time since that plugin is updated. It definitely doesn't support NodeBB v0.6.x.

Run

./nodebb reset plugin="nodebb-plugin-sso-ldap"

Prasanna Prachu

@pichalite Done. Now how to proceed with LDAP integration in NodeBB?

Hi @daweedco ! At current, there is no LDAP implementation yet, so if you want to take a crack at it, by all means!

What is LDAP?

Don't give me what it stands for.

What is it actually used for?

Prasanna Prachu

We Use LDAP which contains list of users and group. so people can use the same username to login to NodeBB forum site.

@Prasanna-Prachu That ... doesn't help me understand what it is (although I realize it is what I asked for). Is it a database? Is it an SSO? Is it a user management thingy?

Prasanna Prachu

@pitaj It is an user management like Active Directory

@julian I'm struggling with fixing old broken plugin, but I have no clue how to solve a strange problem. Plugin initializes well, but when I click on the alternative login button I get "Bad Request" error and I can't track where does it come from. Running NodeBB in dev mode does not show anything. Any clues how to find out what's causing a problem?

Anyway, it looks like fixing this old plugin is not a hard task, but I'm not very familiar with NodeBB code, so maybe someone more canny would accomplish it

@rasguanabana Show me the code on GitHub? Most likely the method attached to the static:app.init is taking multiple arguments in your plugin, but should only take one: data.

@julian I haven't created github repo yet. Here's the code: http://pastebin.com/LVSch1Wn

Any progress on this route?

Hello,

Was anyone able to get this working?

Thanks,

whitts

I still cant figure this out.. I managed to get this plugin installed and activated and get the bad request error just like someone else mentioned earlier..

When you click the alternative login button, where does the plugin get the username and password to authenticate from? Is it supposed to load up a template that maybe missing or does it take the user from the default username / email field login form?

Ive tried debugging but i dont get anything other than:

::ffff:127.0.0.1 - - [16/Nov/2015:21:12:58 +0000] "GET /auth/ldapauth HTTP/1.1" 400 - "http://127.0.0.1:4567/login" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/Safari/537.36"

Thanks
