I am in beijing, and I can't access nodebb website or community without shadowsocks, I think maybe the China GFW block it. If nodebb need more people to use it. This problem should be solved, maybe build a mirror website?
LDAP Login's
-
does NodeBB support LDAP log-ins in anyway shape or form...NPM modules or otherwise?
-
I've not come across any mention of LDAP login and certainly I'm not aware of any LDAP login plugin.
However, there are more than a handful of Node.js LDAP libs accessible from GitHub that can be used to write an KDAP login plugin for NodeBB. Question is, Who's going to write it?
-
@planner Well if I didn't find something soon I was planning on writing one, however I did see a pull request on github that was closed a month or so ago with the code to do this....I believe it was closed because it was not written as a plug-in...
-
@tparnell There was a plugin, although it seems to have been taken down now
However, it is fairly trivial to fork an existing SSO plugin and use passport-ldap
-
Thanks @julian if you can point me to a similar SSO plug-in I guess ill start getting to work soon...
-
-
Will do! Hopefully I have something soon....
-
@julian I took a lot at those plug-ins and I definitely think I can have something cooking by the end of the week or so....
Once I have it working, ill add it to npm......do you have a specific naming convention on npm?
-
Yep -- please follow this nomenclature:
nodebb-plugin-sso-{provider}, so in your case,nodebb-plugin-sso-ldap -
@julian Will do...I'll also look over your plug-in documentation later this week....thanks for the support!
-
Feel free to hop onto #nodebb on Freenode IRC if you'd like to chat more in-depth.
-
nodebb-plugin-sso-ldap was written at some point but was then taken down by the author. I'm not exactly sure why, potentially because it didn't work, or he wanted to take it private for his own benefit?
-
Up! Is any plugin written yet? Do you need some help?
-
Hi @daweedco ! At current, there is no LDAP implementation yet, so if you want to take a crack at it, by all means!
-
Hi Team,
I installed nodebb-plugin-sso-ldap from (https://github.com/ianbogda/nodebb-plugin-sso-ldap) in my NodeBB (v0.6.0). While restarting the NodeBB, faced an error mentioned below. How to fix it?
error: TypeError: Cannot read property 'buildHeader' of undefined
at Object.Ldap.init [as method] (/home/ubuntu/Nodebb/nodebb/NodeBB/NodeBB-NodeBB-2a92c11/node_modules/nodebb-plugin-sso-ldap/library.js:28:60) -
@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" -
@pichalite Done. Now how to proceed with LDAP integration in NodeBB?
-
-
What is LDAP?
Don't give me what it stands for.
What is it actually used for?
-
We Use LDAP which contains list of users and group. so people can use the same username to login to NodeBB forum site.
