Re: [VuFind-Tech] vufind with LDAP authentication

Q1. VuFind pulls data in real-time when the user logs in.

Q2. At this point, the best documentation of the process is probably the code itself. You can find the VuFind LDAP logic in module/VuFind/src/VuFind/Auth/LDAP.php within your installation. Note that this file has recently been updated to include much more detailed debug output, so if you are troubleshooting, you might find it helpful to download the latest LDAP.php from GitHub and drop it into your installation so that when you turn on debug in config.ini, you can see step-by-step feedback on what is going on.

If you have any specific questions about the required configuration settings, just let us know!

thanks,

Subject: [VuFind-Tech] vufind with LDAP authentication

Hello All,

I have been trying to configure vufind with LDAP configuration details but everytime when I try to login it shows one or more parameter is missing in configuration file.
I have passed those configuration details to our University LDAP administrator. And he have some questions regarding this. can anyone help me with this?

Q1.  Does VuFind pull data from LDAP when the user logs in, or is LDAP data pulled via a batch method, and when a user logs in the information is queried locally on the server?

Q2.  Are there any flow charts or descriptions showing the process of how VuFind works with LDAP?

Thank You,
