Secure LDAP Authentication (LDAPS)

designbyfront / LDAP-Authentication-for-ExpressionEngine

An ExpressionEngine Extension that allows the authentication of users via LDAP. LDAP details are copied to the EE database before standard MySQL authentication is performed. If user is not found on LDAP, MySQL authentication will still be performed (useful for EE users not in LDAP)

Secure LDAP Authentication (LDAPS) #1

Can this extension support secure LDAP (LDAPS) authentication when the authentication server is not on the same network as the system? What are the steps necessary if LDAPS is possible?

Hi Tim,

I have been looking at this and I do not see any reason why ldaps should not work in exactly the same way. I believe that if you were to change the port to 636 and the url to ldaps and then follow the instructions listed here then it should work.

The alternative might be to setup a VPN connection between your LDAP server and remote site?

Cheers
