mod_http_oauth2: Return Authentication Time per OpenID Core Section 2 Mandatory To Implement, either MUST include or OPTIONAL depending on things we don't look at, so might as well include it all the time. Since we do not persist authentication state with cookies or such, the authentication time will always be some point between the user being sent to the authorization endpoint and the time they are sent back to the client application.

summary: Library module for LDAP
...

Introduction
============

This module is used by other modules to access an LDAP server. It's
pretty useless on its own; you should use it if you want to write your
own LDAP-related module, or if you want to use one of mine
([mod\_auth\_ldap2](mod_auth_ldap2.html),
[mod\_storage\_ldap](mod_storage_ldap.html)).

Installation
============

Simply copy ldap.lib.lua into your Prosody installation's plugins
directory.

Configuration
=============

Configuration for this module (and all modules that use it) goes into
the *ldap* section of your prosody.cfg.lua file. Each plugin that uses
it may add their own sections; this plugin relies on the following keys:

-   hostname - Where your LDAP server is located
-   bind\_dn - The DN to perform queries as
-   bind\_password - The password to use for queries
-   use\_tls - Whether or not TLS should be used to connect to the LDAP
    server
-   user.usernamefield - The LDAP field that contains a user's username
-   user.basedn - The base DN for user records

API
===

ldap.getconnection()
--------------------

Returns an LDAP connection object corresponding to the configuration in
prosody.cfg.lua. The connection object is a
[LuaLDAP](http://www.keplerproject.org/lualdap/) connection.

ldap.getparams()
----------------

Returns the LDAP configuration provided in prosody.cfg.lua. Use this if
you want to stick some configuration information for your module into
the LDAP section in the configuration file.

ldap.bind(username, password)
-----------------------------

Verifies that *username* and *password* bind ok. **NOTE**: This does not
bind the current LDAP connection to the given username!

ldap.singlematch(query)
-----------------------

Used to fetch a single LDAP record given an LDAP query. A convenience
function.

ldap.filter.combine\_and(...)
-----------------------------

Takes a list of LDAP filter expressions and returns a filter expression
that results in the intersection of each given expression (it ANDs them
together).
