   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.

  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.

  21 $CFG->ldap_host_url             "Specify LDAP host in URL-form, like

  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

  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.
