| 4 | Ldap-authetication module is work in progress. |
| 5 | Right now we are building config-interface to use also with all other auth-modules, |
| 6 | but it will take sometime. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | If you like to try ldap-authentication now , create following $CFG->variables to |
| 9 | /moodle/config.php or directly to config-table and activate ldap authentication |
| 10 | from admin-configuration page. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | Variable Description |
| 13 | $CFG->ldap_bind_dn "If your like to use bind-user to search |
| 14 | users, specify it here. Something like |
| 15 | 'cn=ldapuser,ou=public,o=org'" |
| 16 | $CFG->ldap_bind_pw "Password for bind-user." |
| 17 | $CFG->ldap_contexts "List of contexts where users are located. |
| 18 | Separate different contexts with ';'. |
| 19 | Something like |
| 20 | 'ou=users,o=org; ou=other,o=org'" |
| 21 | $CFG->ldap_host_url "Specify LDAP host in URL-form, like |
| 22 | 'ldap://ldap.myorg.com/' or |
| 23 | 'ldaps//ldap.myorg.com/' " |
| 24 | $CFG->ldap_search_sub "Put value <> 0 if you like to |
| 25 | search users from subcontexts. |
| 26 | (Subsearching is sometimes slow)" |
| 27 | $CFG->ldap_user_attribute "What attribute is used to name/search |
| 28 | users. Usually 'cn' when using |
| 29 | Novell e-directory |
| 05da6502 |
30 | $CFG->ldap_objectclass When filtering objects from ldap this filter is used |
| 31 | defaults to "objectClass=*" |

32 | |
| 33 | And if you like to _very_ experimental: |
| 34 | Edit /auth/ldap/lib.php function auth_get_userinfo() attribute-mappings and |
| 35 | set $CFG->auth_update_userinfo = 1 |
| 36 | Then moodle will get user first-, lastname and other information from ldap |
| 37 | when user is login first time. |
