yourls-ldap-plugin
==================
This plugin for [YOURLS](https://github.com/YOURLS/YOURLS) enables the simple use of [LDAP](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_Directory_Access_Protocol) for user authentication.
Installation
------------
1. Download the latest yourls-ldap-plugin.
1. Copy the plugin folder into your user/plugins folder for YOURLS.
1. Set up the parameters for yourls-ldap-plugin in YOURLS configuration user/config.php (see below).
1. Activate the plugin with the plugin manager in the admin interface.
Usage
-----
When yourls-ldap-plugin is enabled and user was not successfuly authenticated using data specified in yourls_user_passwords, an LDAP authentication attempt will be made. If LDAP authentication is successful, then you will immediately go to the admin interface.
You can also set a privileged account to search the LDAP directory with. This is useful for directories that don't allow anonymous binding.
Setting the groups settings will check the user is a member of that group before logging them in and storing their credentials. This check is only performed the first time they auth or when their password changes.
Configuration
-------------
* define( 'LDAPAUTH_HOST', 'ldaps://ldap.domain.com' ); // LDAP host name, IP or URL. You can use ldaps://host for LDAP with TLS
* define( 'LDAPAUTH_PORT', '636' ); // LDAP server port - often 389 or 636 for TLS (LDAPS)
* define( 'LDAPAUTH_BASE', 'dc=domain,dc=com' ); // Base DN (location of users)
* define( 'LDAPAUTH_USERNAME_FIELD', 'uid'); // (optional) LDAP field name in which username is store
To use a privileged account for the user search:
* define( 'LDAPAUTH_SEARCH_USER', 'cn=your-user,dc=domain,dc=com' ); // (optional) Privileged user to search with
* define( 'LDAPAUTH_SEARCH_PASS', 'the-pass'); // (optional) (only if LDAPAUTH_SEARCH_USER set) Privileged user pass
To check group membership before authenticating:
* define( 'LDAPAUTH_GROUP_ATTR', 'memberof' ); // (optional) LDAP groups attr
* define( 'LDAPAUTH_GROUP_REQ', 'the-group;another-admin-group'); // (only if LDAPAUTH_GROUP_REQ set) Group/s user must be in. Allows multiple, semicolon delimited
To automatically add LDAP users to config.php:
* define( 'LDAPAUTH_ADD_NEW', true ); // (optional) Add LDAP users to config.php
NOTE: This will require config.php to be writable by your webserver user
Troubleshooting
---------------
* Check PHP error log usually at `/var/log/php.log`
* Check your webserver logs
* You can try modifying plugin code to print some more debug info
