6 = Introduction =
|
|
|
7
|
|
|
8 This is a Prosody authentication plugin which uses LDAP as the backend.
|
|
|

10 = Dependecies =

|
|
|
12 This module depends on [http://www.keplerproject.org/lualdap/ LuaLDAP] for connecting to an LDAP server.
|
|
|
13
|
|
|
14 = Configuration =
|
|
|
15
|
|
|
16 Copy the module to the prosody modules/plugins directory.
|
|
|
17
|
|
|
18 In Prosody's configuration file, under the desired host section, add:
|
|
|
19 {{{
|
|
|
20 authentication = "ldap"
|
|
|
21 ldap_base = "ou=people,dc=example,dc=com"
|
|
|
22 }}}
|
|
|
23
|
|
|
24 LDAP options are:
|
|
|
25 || *Name* || *Description* || *Default value* ||
|
|
|
26 || ldap_server || Space-separated list of hostnames or IPs, optionally with port numbers (e.g. "localhost:8389") || "localhost" ||
|
|
|
27 || ldap_rootdn || The distinguished name to auth against || "" (anonymous) ||
|
|
|
28 || ldap_password || Password for rootdn || "" ||
|
|
|
29 || ldap_filter || Search filter, with $user and $host substituded for user- and hostname || "(uid=$user)" ||
|
|
|
30 || ldap_scope || Search scope. other values: "base" and "subtree" || "onelevel" ||
|
|
|
31 || ldap_tls || Enable TLS (StartTLS) to connect to LDAP (can be true or false). The non-standard 'LDAPS' protocol is not supported. || false ||
|
|
|
32 || ldap_base || LDAP base directory which stores user accounts || This is required ||
|
|
|
33 || ldap_mode || How passwords are validated. || "bind" ||
|
|
|
34
|
|
|
35 *Note:* lua-ldap reads from /etc/ldap/ldap.conf and other files like
|
|
|
36 ~prosody/.ldaprc if they exist. Users wanting to use a particular TLS
|
|
|
37 root certificate can specify it in the normal way using TLS_CACERT in
|
|
|
38 the OpenLDAP config file.
|
|
|
39
|
|
|
40 = Modes =
|
|
|
41
|
|
|
42 The "getpasswd" mode requires plain text access to passwords in LDAP and
|
|
|
43 feeds them into Prosodys authentication system. This enables more secure
|
|
|
44 authentication mechanisms but does not work for all deployments.
|
|
|
45
|
|
|
46 The "bind" performs an LDAP bind, does not require plain text access to
|
|
|
47 passwords but limits you to the PLAIN authentication mechanism.
|
|
|
48
|
|
|
49 = Compatibility =
|
|
|
50
|
|
|
51 || 0.8 and above || should work ||
|
