OpenLDAP support #514

Open olivierlambert opened 8 years ago

olivierlambert commented 8 years ago

Should be great to have the possibility to connect the auth mechanism to an external Directory, like OpenLDAP.

The process would be:

  1. add the relevant LDAP info in the config file
  2. if the user doesn't exist in the local users, try to bind on the LDAP server
  3. if users bind is OK, create the user locally without storing any password locally

On a more technical side, we introduced Passport in our own project lately, it's very easy to plug to anything after (GitHub, LDAP, SAML whatever)

Would be great to have LDAP support, that's right.

As a side effect, it would help greatly 3rd-party integrations like https://github.com/Kloadut/shout_ynh

@JocelynDelalande, would that be food for thought for a server-side plugin? If so, feel free to open a PR on the roadmap!

I'm interested in such a feature as well. I've created an RFC patchset to try and see what people thought?

If you still need LDAP support, it was added to Lounge in 2.0
