Yourforest

s3ns3

Would also be very interested in this extension.. 😃

TitusPiJean

Hi all,
I'm working on fixing this extension. You can test it in the v0.1.0-beta.9-1 branch. It is working, but it has some rough UX edges (you need to manually refresh the page after logging in, and some settings are not found by the forum). You can have a look to this issue on its repository.
Feel free to help out, I'm quite stuck with these issues.

TitusPiJean

ℹ️ v1.0
The extension is fixed and working on beta.10!
Many thanks to @clarkwinkelmann and @datitisev for guiding me out of the most blocking issues.

I've installed and activated this plugin. When ever I try logging in with an LDAP user a window pops up with the message:

An error occurred while trying to load this page.

clarkwinkelmann

RossL please look in your log files and copy the full error message for us. The message will likely be in either Flarum logs in <flarum>/storage/logs or your PHP logs.

Hi clarkwinkelmann

Thank you for your reply, I'm new to Flarum and still trying to find my way around.

I've taken a look at the logs and pasted the error message below

ℹ️ v0.1.0-beta.12-2

Going back to Flarum's version naming convention, with extension-specific iterations after the final dash.
The extension is compatible with beta.12!
Backend dependency: adldap2 has been replaced with ldaprecord
Users can now be identified by other fields than uid (e.g. mail, cn, it's up to you!)
Email and display name are now retrieved (customizable fields, too)
Logins can now be tested against multiple base_dn
Custom LDAP filters can be also added (e.g. for groups matching)

Many thanks to CodazziS for his great contribution, and @ornanovitch for his suggestions and swift feedback that make the extension better.

⚠️ Due to my backpedalling regarding versions naming, you may need to perform the following commands to upgrade:

composer remove tituspijean/flarum-ext-auth-ldap
composer clear-cache # makes composer forget about v1.0
composer require tituspijean/flarum-ext-auth-ldap

luceos

TitusPiJean v1 is higher than this latest version. People will therefor always install v1. Is this intended?

TitusPiJean

luceos That's something I was afraid of. ~~Should I remove the v1.0 release?~~
~~Actually maybe not, since v1.0 is not compatible with flarum > v0.1.0-beta.10 ?~~
v1.0 release removed from packagist, and instructions added to post above.

luceos

TitusPiJean remove it from github as well (under releases and tags) otherwise it will be automatically readded.

rob006

You still have v0.2-dev and v0.6-dev versions, which are higher than any 0.1.x release.

TitusPiJean

rob006 I will remove them too, but that is weird. I tested earlier, and the beta.12 version was automatically chosen by composer. (Edit: they were already removed from Packagist)

rob006

Hmm, it looks like Packagist is ignoring these tags for some reason - they're not listed on: https://packagist.org/packages/tituspijean/flarum-ext-auth-ldap

It is still worth to remove them to keep versions list more sane.

rob006

BTW: https://github.com/tituspijean/flarum-ext-auth-ssowat/releases has the same problem, but in this case these old versions are recognized by Packagist: https://packagist.org/packages/tituspijean/flarum-ext-auth-ssowat

TitusPiJean

rob006 Thanks for the headsup! Will do the same and self-loathe about my newbiness. 😅

ornanovitch

This plugin is now plainly functional for most of basic/conventional ldap configurations. For my organization, it was the main condition to achieve a transition from Discourse ! Lot of thanks to @TitusPiJean and CodazziS for having made it possible 🙂

oguzhan

Hi, I got the error "An error occurred while trying to load this page."

clarkwinkelmann

oguzhan please copy any relevant error message from the Flarum log files (<flarum>/storage/logs) or the javascript console.

TitusPiJean

oguzhan Hi, as clarwinkelmann said, please report your logs because your error is quite undescriptive. I also encourage you to post your issue on GitHub. 😉
